Eric Biggers f5e55e777c fscrypt: return -EXDEV for incompatible rename or link into encrypted dir
Currently, trying to rename or link a regular file, directory, or
symlink into an encrypted directory fails with EPERM when the source
file is unencrypted or is encrypted with a different encryption policy,
and is on the same mountpoint.  It is correct for the operation to fail,
but the choice of EPERM breaks tools like 'mv' that know to copy rather
than rename if they see EXDEV, but don't know what to do with EPERM.

Our original motivation for EPERM was to encourage users to securely
handle their data.  Encrypting files by "moving" them into an encrypted
directory can be insecure because the unencrypted data may remain in
free space on disk, where it can later be recovered by an attacker.
It's much better to encrypt the data from the start, or at least try to
securely delete the source data e.g. using the 'shred' program.

However, the current behavior hasn't been effective at achieving its
goal because users tend to be confused, hack around it, and complain;
see e.g. https://github.com/google/fscrypt/issues/76.  And in some cases
it's actually inconsistent or unnecessary.  For example, 'mv'-ing files
between differently encrypted directories doesn't work even in cases
where it can be secure, such as when in userspace the same passphrase
protects both directories.  Yet, you *can* already 'mv' unencrypted
files into an encrypted directory if the source files are on a different
mountpoint, even though doing so is often insecure.

There are probably better ways to teach users to securely handle their
files.  For example, the 'fscrypt' userspace tool could provide a
command that migrates unencrypted files into an encrypted directory,
acting like 'shred' on the source files and providing appropriate
warnings depending on the type of the source filesystem and disk.

Receiving errors on unimportant files might also force some users to
disable encryption, thus making the behavior counterproductive.  It's
desirable to make encryption as unobtrusive as possible.

Therefore, change the error code from EPERM to EXDEV so that tools
looking for EXDEV will fall back to a copy.

This, of course, doesn't prevent users from still doing the right things
to securely manage their files.  Note that this also matches the
behavior when a file is renamed between two project quota hierarchies;
so there's precedent for using EXDEV for things other than mountpoints.

xfstests generic/398 will require an update with this change.

Chandan Rajendra 643fa9612b fscrypt: remove filesystem specific build config option
In order to have a common code base for fscrypt "post read" processing
for all filesystems which support encryption, this commit removes
filesystem specific build config option (e.g. CONFIG_EXT4_FS_ENCRYPTION)
and replaces it with a build option (i.e. CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION) whose
value affects all the filesystems making use of fscrypt.

Eric Biggers 8094c3ceb2 fscrypt: add Adiantum support
Add support for the Adiantum encryption mode to fscrypt.  Adiantum is a
tweakable, length-preserving encryption mode with security provably
reducible to that of XChaCha12 and AES-256, subject to a security bound.
It's also a true wide-block mode, unlike XTS.  See the paper
"Adiantum: length-preserving encryption for entry-level processors"
(https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/720.pdf) for more details.  Also see
commit 059c2a4d8e ("crypto: adiantum - add Adiantum support").

On sufficiently long messages, Adiantum's bottlenecks are XChaCha12 and
the NH hash function.  These algorithms are fast even on processors
without dedicated crypto instructions.  Adiantum makes it feasible to
enable storage encryption on low-end mobile devices that lack AES
instructions; currently such devices are unencrypted.  On ARM Cortex-A7,
on 4096-byte messages Adiantum encryption is about 4 times faster than
AES-256-XTS encryption; decryption is about 5 times faster.

In fscrypt, Adiantum is suitable for encrypting both file contents and
names.  With filenames, it fixes a known weakness: when two filenames in
a directory share a common prefix of >= 16 bytes, with CTS-CBC their
encrypted filenames share a common prefix too, leaking information.
Adiantum does not have this problem.

Since Adiantum also accepts long tweaks (IVs), it's also safe to use the
master key directly for Adiantum encryption rather than deriving
per-file keys, provided that the per-file nonce is included in the IVs
and the master key isn't used for any other encryption mode.  This
configuration saves memory and improves performance.  A new fscrypt
policy flag is added to allow users to opt-in to this configuration.

Michal Hocko a1400af755 mm, proc: report PR_SET_THP_DISABLE in proc
David Rientjes has reported that commit 1860033237 ("mm: make
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active") has changed the way how we
report THPable VMAs to the userspace.  Their monitoring tool is
triggering false alarms on PR_SET_THP_DISABLE tasks because it considers
an insufficient THP usage as a memory fragmentation resp.  memory
pressure issue.

Before the said commit each newly created VMA inherited VM_NOHUGEPAGE
flag and that got exposed to the userspace via /proc/<pid>/smaps file.
This implementation had its downsides as explained in the commit message
but it is true that the userspace doesn't have any means to query for
the process wide THP enabled/disabled status.

PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is a process wide flag so it makes a lot of sense to
export in the process wide context rather than per-vma.  Introduce a new
field to /proc/<pid>/status which export this status.  If
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE is used then it reports false same as when the THP is
not compiled in.  It doesn't consider the global THP status because we
already export that information via sysfs

Michal Hocko 7635d9cbe8 mm, thp, proc: report THP eligibility for each vma
Userspace falls short when trying to find out whether a specific memory
range is eligible for THP.  There are usecases that would like to know
that
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809251248450.50347@chino.kir.corp.google.com
: This is used to identify heap mappings that should be able to fault thp
: but do not, and they normally point to a low-on-memory or fragmentation
: issue.

The only way to deduce this now is to query for hg resp.  nh flags and
confronting the state with the global setting.  Except that there is also
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE that might change the picture.  So the final logic is
not trivial.  Moreover the eligibility of the vma depends on the type of
VMA as well.  In the past we have supported only anononymous memory VMAs
but things have changed and shmem based vmas are supported as well these
days and the query logic gets even more complicated because the
eligibility depends on the mount option and another global configuration
knob.

Simplify the current state and report the THP eligibility in
/proc/<pid>/smaps for each existing vma.  Reuse
transparent_hugepage_enabled for this purpose.  The original
implementation of this function assumes that the caller knows that the vma
itself is supported for THP so make the core checks into
__transparent_hugepage_enabled and use it for existing callers.
__show_smap just use the new transparent_hugepage_enabled which also
checks the vma support status (please note that this one has to be out of
line due to include dependency issues).

Michal Hocko 7550c60798 mm, proc: be more verbose about unstable VMA flags in /proc/<pid>/smaps
Patch series "THP eligibility reporting via proc".

This series of three patches aims at making THP eligibility reporting much
more robust and long term sustainable.  The trigger for the change is a
regression report [2] and the long follow up discussion.  In short the
specific application didn't have good API to query whether a particular
mapping can be backed by THP so it has used VMA flags to workaround that.
These flags represent a deep internal state of VMAs and as such they
should be used by userspace with a great deal of caution.

A similar has happened for [3] when users complained that VM_MIXEDMAP is
no longer set on DAX mappings.  Again a lack of a proper API led to an
abuse.

The first patch in the series tries to emphasise that that the semantic of
flags might change and any application consuming those should be really
careful.

The remaining two patches provide a more suitable interface to address [2]
and provide a consistent API to query the THP status both for each VMA and
process wide as well.  [1]

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181120103515.25280-1-mhocko@kernel.org [2]
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809241054050.224429@chino.kir.corp.google.com
[3] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181002100531.GC4135@quack2.suse.cz

This patch (of 3):

Even though vma flags exported via /proc/<pid>/smaps are explicitly
documented to be not guaranteed for future compatibility the warning
doesn't go far enough because it doesn't mention semantic changes to those
flags.  And they are important as well because these flags are a deep
implementation internal to the MM code and the semantic might change at
any time.

Let's consider two recent examples:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181002100531.GC4135@quack2.suse.cz
: commit e1fb4a0864 "dax: remove VM_MIXEDMAP for fsdax and device dax" has
: removed VM_MIXEDMAP flag from DAX VMAs. Now our testing shows that in the
: mean time certain customer of ours started poking into /proc/<pid>/smaps
: and looks at VMA flags there and if VM_MIXEDMAP is missing among the VMA
: flags, the application just fails to start complaining that DAX support is
: missing in the kernel.

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809241054050.224429@chino.kir.corp.google.com
: Commit 1860033237 ("mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active")
: introduced a regression in that userspace cannot always determine the set
: of vmas where thp is ineligible.
: Userspace relies on the "nh" flag being emitted as part of /proc/pid/smaps
: to determine if a vma is eligible to be backed by hugepages.
: Previous to this commit, prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, 1) would cause thp to
: be disabled and emit "nh" as a flag for the corresponding vmas as part of
: /proc/pid/smaps.  After the commit, thp is disabled by means of an mm
: flag and "nh" is not emitted.
: This causes smaps parsing libraries to assume a vma is eligible for thp
: and ends up puzzling the user on why its memory is not backed by thp.

In both cases userspace was relying on a semantic of a specific VMA flag.
The primary reason why that happened is a lack of a proper interface.
While this has been worked on and it will be fixed properly, it seems that
our wording could see some refinement and be more vocal about semantic
aspect of these flags as well.

Daniel Colascione c969eb8301 Document /proc/pid PID reuse behavior
State explicitly that holding a /proc/pid file descriptor open does
not reserve the PID. Also note that in the event of PID reuse, these
open file descriptors refer to the old, now-dead process, and not the
new one that happens to be named the same numeric PID.

NeilBrown 1428cc0e0c Documentation: update path-lookup.md for parallel lookups
Since this document was written, i_mutex has been replace with
i_rwsem, and shared locks are utilized to allow lookups in the one
directory to happen in parallel.

So replace i_mutex with i_rwsem, and explain how this is used for
parallel lookups.

Will Deacon 806654a966 Documentation: Use "while" instead of "whilst"
Whilst making an unrelated change to some Documentation, Linus sayeth:

  | Afaik, even in Britain, "whilst" is unusual and considered more
  | formal, and "while" is the common word.
  |
  | [...]
  |
  | Can we just admit that we work with computers, and we don't need to
  | use þe eald Englisc spelling of words that most of the world never
  | uses?

dictionary.com refers to the word as "Chiefly British", which is
probably an undesirable attribute for technical documentation.

Replace all occurrences under Documentation/ with "while".

Linus Torvalds c2aa1a444c vfs: rework data cloning infrastructure
Rework the vfs_clone_file_range and vfs_dedupe_file_range infrastructure to use
 a common .remap_file_range method and supply generic bounds and sanity checking
 functions that are shared with the data write path. The current VFS
 infrastructure has problems with rlimit, LFS file sizes, file time stamps,
 maximum filesystem file sizes, stripping setuid bits, etc and so they are
 addressed in these commits.
 
 We also introduce the ability for the ->remap_file_range methods to return short
 clones so that clones for vfs_copy_file_range() don't get rejected if the entire
 range can't be cloned. It also allows filesystems to sliently skip deduplication
 of partial EOF blocks if they are not capable of doing so without requiring
 errors to be thrown to userspace.
 
 All existing filesystems are converted to user the new .remap_file_range method,
 and both XFS and ocfs2 are modified to make use of the new generic checking
 infrastructure.

Miklos Szeredi d47748e5ae ovl: automatically enable redirect_dir on metacopy=on
Current behavior is to automatically disable metacopy if redirect_dir is
not enabled and proceed with the mount.

If "metacopy=on" mount option was given, then this behavior can confuse the
user: no mount failure, yet metacopy is disabled.

This patch makes metacopy=on imply redirect_dir=on.

The converse is also true: turning off full redirect with redirect_dir=
{off|follow|nofollow} will disable metacopy.

If both metacopy=on and redirect_dir={off|follow|nofollow} is specified,
then mount will fail, since there's no way to correctly resolve the
conflict.

Darrick J. Wong eca3654e3c vfs: enable remap callers that can handle short operations
Plumb in a remap flag that enables the filesystem remap handler to
shorten remapping requests for callers that can handle it.  Now
copy_file_range can report partial success (in case we run up against
alignment problems, resource limits, etc.).

We also enable CAN_SHORTEN for fideduperange to maintain existing
userspace-visible behavior where xfs/btrfs shorten the dedupe range to
avoid stale post-eof data exposure.

Darrick J. Wong 42ec3d4c02 vfs: make remap_file_range functions take and return bytes completed
Change the remap_file_range functions to take a number of bytes to
operate upon and return the number of bytes they operated on.  This is a
requirement for allowing fs implementations to return short clone/dedupe
results to the user, which will enable us to obey resource limits in a
graceful manner.

A subsequent patch will enable copy_file_range to signal to the
->clone_file_range implementation that it can handle a short length,
which will be returned in the function's return value.  For now the
short return is not implemented anywhere so the behavior won't change --
either copy_file_range manages to clone the entire range or it tries an
alternative.

Neither clone ioctl can take advantage of this, alas.

Linus Torvalds 738b04fba1 Staging/IIO patches for 4.20-rc1
Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.20-rc1.
 
 There are lots of things here, we ended up adding more lines than
 removing, thanks to a large influx of Comedi National Instrument device
 support.  Someday soon we need to get comedi out of staging...
 
 Other than the comedi drivers, the "big" things here are:
   - new iio drivers
   - delete dgnc driver (no one used it and no one had the hardware
     anymore)
   - vbox driver updates and fixes
   - erofs fixes
   - tons and tons of tiny checkpatch fixes for almost all staging
     drivers
 
 All of these have been in linux-next, with the last few happening a bit
 "late" due to them getting stuck on my laptop during travel to the
 Mantainers summit.
 
 When merging with your tree, there will be 2 merge conflicts, both files
 will be simple to resolve, just delete them :)

Merge tag 'staging-4.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging

Pull staging/IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big staging and IIO driver pull request for 4.20-rc1.

  There are lots of things here, we ended up adding more lines than
  removing, thanks to a large influx of Comedi National Instrument
  device support. Someday soon we need to get comedi out of staging...

  Other than the comedi drivers, the "big" things here are:

   - new iio drivers

   - delete dgnc driver (no one used it and no one had the hardware
     anymore)

   - vbox driver updates and fixes

   - erofs fixes

   - tons and tons of tiny checkpatch fixes for almost all staging
     drivers

  All of these have been in linux-next, with the last few happening a
  bit "late" due to them getting stuck on my laptop during travel to the
  Mantainers summit"

Vlastimil Babka 61f94e18de mm, proc: add KReclaimable to /proc/meminfo
The vmstat NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE counter is for kernel non-slab
allocations that can be reclaimed via shrinker.  In /proc/meminfo, we can
show the sum of all reclaimable kernel allocations (including slab) as
"KReclaimable".  Add the same counter also to per-node meminfo under /sys

With this counter, users will have more complete information about kernel
memory usage.  Non-slab reclaimable pages (currently just the ION
allocator) will not be missing from /proc/meminfo, making users wonder
where part of their memory went.  More precisely, they already appear in
MemAvailable, but without the new counter, it's not obvious why the value
in MemAvailable doesn't fully correspond with the sum of other counters
participating in it.

With the preparations all being done this patch now enables authentication
support for UBIFS. Authentication is enabled when the newly introduced
auth_key and auth_hash_name mount options are passed. auth_key provides
the key which is used for authentication whereas auth_hash_name provides
the hashing algorithm used for this FS. Passing these options make
authentication mandatory and only UBIFS images that can be authenticated
with the given key are allowed.

Luis Henriques ea4cdc548e ceph: new mount option to disable usage of copy-from op
Add a new mount option 'nocopyfrom' that will prevent the usage of the
RADOS 'copy-from' operation in cephfs.  This could be useful, for example,
for an administrator to temporarily mitigate any possible bugs in the
'copy-from' implementation.

Currently, only copy_file_range uses this RADOS operation.  Setting this
mount option will result in this syscall reverting to the default VFS
implementation, i.e. to perform the copies locally instead of doing remote
object copies.

Note that, it requires "f2fs: return correct errno in f2fs_gc".

This adds a lightweight non-persistent snapshotting scheme to f2fs.

To use, mount with the option checkpoint=disable, and to return to
normal operation, remount with checkpoint=enable. If the filesystem
is shut down before remounting with checkpoint=enable, it will revert
back to its apparent state when it was first mounted with
checkpoint=disable. This is useful for situations where you wish to be
able to roll back the state of the disk in case of some critical
failure.

Henrik Austad a7ddcea58a Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.

The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)

A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.

A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.

List of outdated 00-INDEX:

I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.

As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and

Jason A. Donenfeld 578bdaabd0 crypto: speck - remove Speck
These are unused, undesired, and have never actually been used by
anybody. The original authors of this code have changed their mind about
its inclusion. While originally proposed for disk encryption on low-end
devices, the idea was discarded [1] in favor of something else before
that could really get going. Therefore, this patch removes Speck.

Linus Torvalds fe6f0ed0da f2fs-for-4.19-rc1
In this round, we've tuned f2fs to improve general performance by serializing
 block allocation and enhancing discard flows like fstrim which avoids user IO
 contention. And we've added fsync_mode=nobarrier which gives an option to user
 where it skips issuing cache_flush commands to underlying flash storage. And
 there are many bug fixes related to fuzzed images, revoked atomic writes, quota
 ops, and minor direct IO.
 
 Enhancement:
  - add fsync_mode=nobarrier which bypasses cache_flush command
  - enhance the discarding flow which avoids user IOs and issues in LBA order
  - readahead some encrypted blocks during GC
  - enable in-memory inode checksum to verify the blocks if F2FS_CHECK_FS is set
  - enhance nat_bits behavior
  - set -o discard by default
  - set REQ_RAHEAD to bio in ->readpages
 
 Bug fixes:
  - fix a corner case to corrupt atomic_writes revoking flow
  - revisit i_gc_rwsem to fix race conditions
  - fix some dio behaviors captured by xfstests
  - correct handling errors given by quota-related failures
  - add many sanity check flows to avoid fuzz test failures
  - add more error number propagation to their callers
  - fix several corner cases to continue fault injection w/ shutdown loop

Dennis Zhou (Facebook) 7e8a6304d5 /proc/meminfo: add percpu populated pages count
Currently, percpu memory only exposes allocation and utilization
information via debugfs.  This more or less is only really useful for
understanding the fragmentation and allocation information at a per-chunk
level with a few global counters.  This is also gated behind a config.
BPF and cgroup, for example, have seen an increase in use causing
increased use of percpu memory.  Let's make it easier for someone to
identify how much memory is being used.

This patch adds the "Percpu" stat to meminfo to more easily look up how
much percpu memory is in use.  This number includes the cost for all
allocated backing pages and not just insight at the per a unit, per chunk
level.  Metadata is excluded.  I think excluding metadata is fair because
the backing memory scales with the numbere of cpus and can quickly
outweigh the metadata.  It also makes this calculation light.

NeilBrown 1f4aace60b fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration code and interface
The documentation for seq_file suggests that it is necessary to be able
to move the iterator to a given offset, however that is not the case.
If the iterator is stored in the private data and is stable from one
read() syscall to the next, it is only necessary to support first/next
interactions.  Implementing this in a client is a little clumsy.

 - if ->start() is given a pos of zero, it should go to start of
   sequence.

 - if ->start() is given the name pos that was given to the most recent
   next() or start(), it should restore the iterator to state just
   before that last call

 - if ->start is given another number, it should set the iterator one
   beyond the start just before the last ->start or ->next call.

Also, the documentation says that the implementation can interpret the
pos however it likes (other than zero meaning start), but seq_file
increments the pos sometimes which does impose on the implementation.

This patch simplifies the interface for first/next iteration and
simplifies the code, while maintaining complete backward compatability.
Now:

 - if ->start() is given a pos of zero, it should return an iterator
   placed at the start of the sequence

 - if ->start() is given a non-zero pos, it should return the iterator
   in the same state it was after the last ->start or ->next.

This is particularly useful for interators which walk the multiple
chains in a hash table, e.g.  using rhashtable_walk*.  See
fs/gfs2/glock.c and drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/llite/vvp_dev.c

A large part of achieving this is to *always* call ->next after ->show
has successfully stored all of an entry in the buffer.  Never just
increment the index instead.  Also:

 - always pass &m->index to ->start() and ->next(), never a temp
   variable

 - don't clear ->from when ->count is zero, as ->from is dead when
   ->count is zero.

Some ->next functions do not increment *pos when they return NULL.  To
maintain compatability with this, we still need to increment m->index in
one place, if ->next didn't increment it.  Note that such ->next
functions are buggy and should be fixed.  A simple demonstration is

   dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1000 skip=1

Choose any block size larger than the size of /proc/swaps.  This will
always show the whole last line of /proc/swaps.

This patch doesn't work around buggy next() functions for this case.

Linus Torvalds 781fca5b10 Changes for 4.19:
- Use extent maps to track pagecache page status instead of bufferhead
   state.
 - Refactor pagecache read and write paths to use the new iomap library
   functions, which enable us to drop the old bufferhead code for
   pagesize == blocksize filesystems.
 - Set up parallel per-block-per-page metadata to track subpage
   information that was tracked by buffer heads, which enables us to drop
   the old bufferhead code for pagesize > blocksize filesystems.
 - Tie a deferred ops control structure to a transaction so that we can
   take advantage of an upper-level dfops without having to plumb pointer
   passing through the code.
 - Refactor the deferred ops code to track deferred ops as part of the
   transaction structure (instead of as a separate data structure) so
   that we can simplify the scoping rules around defer_ops.
 - Refactor twisty delwri buffer submission code to avoid deadlocks.
 - Shorten and fix indenting problems in the scrub code.
 - Detect obviously bad summary counts at mount and fix them.
 - Directly associate deferred ops control structure with a transaction
   so that callers no longer have to manage it themselves.
 - Remove a couple of IRIX-era inode macros.
 - Remove the long-deprecated 'barrier' and 'nobarrier' mount options.
 - Clean up the inode fork structure a bit.
 - Check for bad fs summary counter values in the superblock.
 - Reduce COW fork lookups during writeback.
 - Refactor the deferred ops control structures into the transaction
   structure, thereby eliminating the need for transaction users to
   handle the deferred ops as a separate data structure.
 - Add the ability to repair AG headers online.
 - Fix a crash due to insufficient return value checking.
 - Various fixes and cleanups.

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
 "This is the second part of the XFS changes for 4.19.

  The biggest changes are the removal of buffer heads frm XFS, a massive
  reworking of the deferred transaction operations handling code, the
  removal of the long defunct barrier/nobarrier mount options, and the
  addition of a few more online repair functions.

  Summary:

   - Use extent maps to track pagecache page status instead of
     bufferhead state.

   - Refactor pagecache read and write paths to use the new iomap
     library functions, which enable us to drop the old bufferhead code
     for pagesize == blocksize filesystems.

   - Set up parallel per-block-per-page metadata to track subpage
     information that was tracked by buffer heads, which enables us to
     drop the old bufferhead code for pagesize > blocksize filesystems.

   - Tie a deferred ops control structure to a transaction so that we
     can take advantage of an upper-level dfops without having to plumb
     pointer passing through the code.

   - Refactor the deferred ops code to track deferred ops as part of the
     transaction structure (instead of as a separate data structure) so
     that we can simplify the scoping rules around defer_ops.

   - Refactor twisty delwri buffer submission code to avoid deadlocks.

   - Shorten and fix indenting problems in the scrub code.

   - Detect obviously bad summary counts at mount and fix them.

Chao Yu d494500a70 f2fs: support fault_type mount option
Previously, once fault injection is on, by default, all kind of faults
will be injected to f2fs, if we want to trigger single or specified
combined type during the test, we need to configure sysfs entry, it will
be a little inconvenient to integrate sysfs configuring into testsuit,
such as xfstest.

So this patch introduces a new mount option 'fault_type' to assist old
option 'fault_injection', with these two mount options, we can specify
any fault rate/type at mount-time.

Vivek Goyal d5791044d2 ovl: Provide a mount option metacopy=on/off for metadata copyup
By default metadata only copy up is disabled.  Provide a mount option so
that users can choose one way or other.

Also provide a kernel config and module option to enable/disable metacopy
feature.

metacopy feature requires redirect_dir=on when upper is present.
Otherwise, it requires redirect_dir=follow atleast.

As of now, metacopy does not work with nfs_export=on.  So if both
metacopy=on and nfs_export=on then nfs_export is disabled.

Yohan Pipereau 9ac8c3bd50 Documentation : Update relay function types
This patch updates two callback functions provided as an example in
relay API documentation : subbuf_start and create_buf_file_handler.

These functions were using older and incorrect types causing an
"initialization from incompatible pointer type".

People have gone to all the effort of writing kernel-doc for these
functions; the least we can do is put them in the "Other functions"
part of the VFS documentation.
