Linus Torvalds d0195c7d7a f2fs-for-5.13-rc1
In this round, we added a new mount option, "checkpoint_merge", which introduces
 a kernel thread dealing with the f2fs checkpoints. Once we start to manage the
 IO priority along with blk-cgroup, the checkpoint operation can be processed in
 a lower priority under the process context. Since the checkpoint holds all the
 filesystem operations, we give a higher priority to the checkpoint thread all
 the time.
 
 Enhancement:
 - introduce gc_merge mount option to introduce a checkpoint thread
 - improve to run discard thread efficiently
 - allow modular compression algorithms
 - expose # of overprivision segments to sysfs
 - expose runtime compression stat to sysfs
 
 Bug fix:
 - fix OOB memory access by the node id lookup
 - avoid touching checkpointed data in the checkpoint-disabled mode
 - fix the resizing flow to avoid kernel panic and race conditions
 - fix block allocation issues on pinned files
 - address some swapfile issues
 - fix hugtask problem and kernel panic during atomic write operations
 - don't start checkpoint thread in RO
 
 And, we've cleaned up some kernel coding style and build warnings. In addition,
 we fixed some minor race conditions and error handling routines.

Linus Torvalds 9f67672a81 New features for ext4 this cycle include support for encrypted
casefold, ensure that deleted file names are cleared in directory
 blocks by zeroing directory entries when they are unlinked or moved as
 part of a hash tree node split.  We also improve the block allocator's
 performance on a freshly mounted file system by prefetching block
 bitmaps.
 
 There are also the usual cleanups and bug fixes, including fixing a
 page cache invalidation race when there is mixed buffered and direct
 I/O and the block size is less than page size, and allow the dax flag
 to be set and cleared on inline directories.

Merge tag 'netfs-lib-20210426' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull network filesystem helper library updates from David Howells:
 "Here's a set of patches for 5.13 to begin the process of overhauling
  the local caching API for network filesystems. This set consists of
  two parts:

  (1) Add a helper library to handle the new VM readahead interface.

      This is intended to be used unconditionally by the filesystem
      (whether or not caching is enabled) and provides a common
      framework for doing caching, transparent huge pages and, in the
      future, possibly fscrypt and read bandwidth maximisation. It also
      allows the netfs and the cache to align, expand and slice up a
      read request from the VM in various ways; the netfs need only
      provide a function to read a stretch of data to the pagecache and
      the helper takes care of the rest.

  (2) Add an alternative fscache/cachfiles I/O API that uses the kiocb
      facility to do async DIO to transfer data to/from the netfs's
      pages, rather than using readpage with wait queue snooping on one
      side and vfs_write() on the other. It also uses less memory, since
      it doesn't do buffered I/O on the backing file.

      Note that this uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to locate the data
      available to be read from the cache. Whilst this is an improvement
      from the bmap interface, it still has a problem with regard to a
      modern extent-based filesystem inserting or removing bridging
      blocks of zeros. Fixing that requires a much greater overhaul.

  This is a step towards overhauling the fscache API. The change is
  opt-in on the part of the network filesystem. A netfs should not try
  to mix the old and the new API because of conflicting ways of handling
  pages and the PG_fscache page flag and because it would be mixing DIO
  with buffered I/O. Further, the helper library can't be used with the
  old API.

  This does not change any of the fscache cookie handling APIs or the
  way invalidation is done at this time.

  In the near term, I intend to deprecate and remove the old I/O API
  (fscache_allocate_page{,s}(), fscache_read_or_alloc_page{,s}(),
  fscache_write_page() and fscache_uncache_page()) and eventually
  replace most of fscache/cachefiles with something simpler and easier
  to follow.

  This patchset contains the following parts:

   - Some helper patches, including provision of an ITER_XARRAY iov
     iterator and a function to do readahead expansion.

   - Patches to add the netfs helper library.

   - A patch to add the fscache/cachefiles kiocb API.

   - A pair of patches to fix some review issues in the ITER_XARRAY and
     read helpers as spotted by Al and Willy.

  Jeff Layton has patches to add support in Ceph for this that he
  intends for this merge window. I have a set of patches to support AFS
  that I will post a separate pull request for.

  With this, AFS without a cache passes all expected xfstests; with a
  cache, there's an extra failure, but that's also there before these
  patches. Fixing that probably requires a greater overhaul. Ceph also
  passes the expected tests.

  I also have patches in a separate branch to tidy up the handling of
  PG_fscache/PG_private_2 and their contribution to page refcounting in
  the core kernel here, but I haven't included them in this set and will
  route them separately"

Miklos Szeredi 4c5b479975 vfs: add fileattr ops
There's a substantial amount of boilerplate in filesystems handling
FS_IOC_[GS]ETFLAGS/ FS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctls.

Also due to userspace buffers being involved in the ioctl API this is
difficult to stack, as shown by overlayfs issues related to these ioctls.

Introduce a new internal API named "fileattr" (fsxattr can be confused with
xattr, xflags is inappropriate, since this is more than just flags).

There's significant overlap between flags and xflags and this API handles
the conversions automatically, so filesystems may choose which one to use.

In ->fileattr_get() a hint is provided to the filesystem whether flags or
xattr are being requested by userspace, but in this series this hint is
ignored by all filesystems, since generating all the attributes is cheap.

If a filesystem doesn't implemement the fileattr API, just fall back to
f_op->ioctl().  When all filesystems are converted, the fallback can be
removed.

32bit compat ioctls are now handled by the generic code as well.

Amir Goldstein b0e0f69731 ovl: restrict lower null uuid for "xino=auto"
Commit a888db3101 ("ovl: fix regression with re-formatted lower
squashfs") attempted to fix a regression with existing setups that
use a practice that we are trying to discourage.

The discourage part was described this way in the commit message:
"To avoid the reported regression while still allowing the new features
 with single lower squashfs, do not allow decoding origin with lower null
 uuid unless user opted-in to one of the new features that require
 following the lower inode of non-dir upper (index, xino, metacopy)."

The three mentioned features are disabled by default in Kconfig, so
it was assumed that if they are enabled, the user opted-in for them.
Apparently, distros started to configure CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_XINO_AUTO=y
some time ago, so users upgrading their kernels can still be affected
by said regression even though they never opted-in for any new feature.

To fix this, treat "xino=on" as "user opted-in", but not "xino=auto".
Since we are changing the behavior of "xino=auto" to no longer follow
to lower origin with null uuid, take this one step further and disable
xino in that corner case.  To be consistent, disable xino also in cases
of lower fs without file handle support and upper fs without xattr
support.

Update documentation w.r.t the new "xino=auto" behavior and fix the out
dated bits of documentation regarding "xino" and regarding offline
modifications to lower layers.

Daniel Rosenberg 471fbbea7f ext4: handle casefolding with encryption
This adds support for encryption with casefolding.

Since the name on disk is case preserving, and also encrypted, we can no
longer just recompute the hash on the fly. Additionally, to avoid
leaking extra information from the hash of the unencrypted name, we use
siphash via an fscrypt v2 policy.

The hash is stored at the end of the directory entry for all entries
inside of an encrypted and casefolded directory apart from those that
deal with '.' and '..'. This way, the change is backwards compatible
with existing ext4 filesystems.

[ Changed to advertise this feature via the file:

In this patch, we will add two new mount options: "gc_merge" and
"nogc_merge", when background_gc is on, "gc_merge" option can be
set to let background GC thread to handle foreground GC requests,
it can eliminate the sluggish issue caused by slow foreground GC
operation when GC is triggered from a process with limited I/O
and CPU resources.

NeilBrown b3656d8227 seq_file: document how per-entry resources are managed.
Patch series "Fix some seq_file users that were recently broken".

A recent change to seq_file broke some users which were using seq_file
in a non-"standard" way ...  though the "standard" isn't documented, so
they can be excused.  The result is a possible leak - of memory in one
case, of references to a 'transport' in the other.

These three patches:
 1/ document and explain the problem
 2/ fix the problem user in x86
 3/ fix the problem user in net/sctp

This patch (of 3):

Users of seq_file will sometimes find it convenient to take a resource,
such as a lock or memory allocation, in the ->start or ->next operations.
These are per-entry resources, distinct from per-session resources which
are taken in ->start and released in ->stop.

The preferred management of these is release the resource on the
subsequent call to ->next or ->stop.

However prior to Commit 1f4aace60b ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file
iteration code and interface") it happened that ->show would always be
called after ->start or ->next, and a few users chose to release the
resource in ->show.

This is no longer reliable.  Since the mentioned commit, ->next will
always come after a successful ->show (to ensure m->index is updated
correctly), so the original ordering cannot be maintained.

This patch updates the documentation to clearly state the required
behaviour.  Other patches will fix the few problematic users.

Merge tag 'idmapped-mounts-v5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux

Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner:
 "This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some
  time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or
  directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes
  with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more
  filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and
  maintainers.

  Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here
  are just a few:

   - Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between
     multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex
     scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the
     implementation of portable home directories in
     systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home
     directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple
     computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This
     effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at
     login time.

   - It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged
     containers without having to change ownership permanently through
     chown(2).

   - It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to
     mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the
     user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their
     Linux subsystem.

   - It is possible to share files between containers with
     non-overlapping idmappings.

   - Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can
     use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC)
     permission checking.

   - They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount
     basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In
     contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is
     instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when
     ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or
     container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall
     mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of
     all files.

   - Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as
     idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped
     to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself
     take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It
     simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is
     especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of
     files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home
     directory and container and vm scenario.

   - Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it
     to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only
     apply as long as the mount exists.

  Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and
  pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull
  this:

   - systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away
     in their implementation of portable home directories.

         https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/

   - container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between
     host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged
     containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in
     containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite
     a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734

   - The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest
     in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is
     ported.

   - ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers.

  I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed
  here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the
  mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of
  talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones:

      https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdf
      https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/

  This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and
  xfs:

      https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts

  It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid
  execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and
  non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs
  setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will
  be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to
  merge this.

  In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with
  user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to
  map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
  By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace.
  The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not
  idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the
  testsuite.

  Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
  and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
  the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
  introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
  the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users
  to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
  whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
  currently marked with.

  The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by
  passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an
  argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new
  MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern
  of extensibility.

  The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped
  mount:

   - The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the
     user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in.

   - The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts.

   - The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the
     idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped.

   - The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have
     been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag
     and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem.

  The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the
  kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler.

  By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no
  behavioral or performance changes are observed.

  The manpage with a detailed description can be found here:

      1d7b902e28

  In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed
  and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The
  patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or
  complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and
  xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and
  will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify
  that port has been done correctly.

  The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped
  mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most
  valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform
  mounts based on file descriptors only.

  Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2()
  RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time
  we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and
  path resolution.

  While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount
  proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not
  possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in
  the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing.

  With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last
  restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api,
  covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the
  crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount
  tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This
  syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and
  projects.

  There is a simple tool available at

      https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped

  that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this
  patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you
  decide to pull this in the following weeks:

  Here's an example to a simple idmapped mount of another user's home

We've added two major features: 1) compression level and 2) checkpoint_merge, in
 this round. 1) compression level expands 'compress_algorithm' mount option to
 accept parameter as format of <algorithm>:<level>, by this way, it gives a way
 to allow user to do more specified config on lz4 and zstd compression level,
 then f2fs compression can provide higher compress ratio. 2) checkpoint_merge
 creates a kernel daemon and makes it to merge concurrent checkpoint requests as
 much as possible to eliminate redundant checkpoint issues. Plus, we can
 eliminate the sluggish issue caused by slow checkpoint operation when the
 checkpoint is done in a process context in a cgroup having low i/o budget and
 cpu shares.
 
 Enhancement:
  - add compress level for lz4 and zstd in mount option
  - checkpoint_merge mount option
  - deprecate f2fs_trace_io
 
 Bug fix:
  - flush data when enabling checkpoint back
  - handle corner cases of mount options
  - missing ACL update and lock for I_LINKABLE flag
  - attach FIEMAP_EXTENT_MERGED in f2fs_fiemap
  - fix potential deadlock in compression flow
  - fix wrong submit_io condition
 
 As usual, we've cleaned up many code flows and fixed minor bugs.

Eric Biggers 07c9900131 fs-verity: support reading signature with ioctl
Add support for FS_VERITY_METADATA_TYPE_SIGNATURE to
FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA.  This allows a userspace server program to
retrieve the built-in signature (if present) of a verity file for
serving to a client which implements fs-verity compatible verification.
See the patch which introduced FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA for more
details.

The ability for userspace to read the built-in signatures is also useful
because it allows a system that is using the in-kernel signature
verification to migrate to userspace signature verification.

This has been tested using a new xfstest which calls this ioctl via a
new subcommand for the 'fsverity' program from fsverity-utils.

Eric Biggers 947191ac8c fs-verity: support reading descriptor with ioctl
Add support for FS_VERITY_METADATA_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR to
FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA.  This allows a userspace server program to
retrieve the fs-verity descriptor of a file for serving to a client
which implements fs-verity compatible verification.  See the patch which
introduced FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA for more details.

"fs-verity descriptor" here means only the part that userspace cares
about because it is hashed to produce the file digest.  It doesn't
include the signature which ext4 and f2fs append to the
fsverity_descriptor struct when storing it on-disk, since that way of
storing the signature is an implementation detail.  The next patch adds
a separate metadata_type value for retrieving the signature separately.

This has been tested using a new xfstest which calls this ioctl via a
new subcommand for the 'fsverity' program from fsverity-utils.

Eric Biggers e17fe6579d fs-verity: add FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA ioctl
Add an ioctl FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA which will allow reading verity
metadata from a file that has fs-verity enabled, including:

- The Merkle tree
- The fsverity_descriptor (not including the signature if present)
- The built-in signature, if present

This ioctl has similar semantics to pread().  It is passed the type of
metadata to read (one of the above three), and a buffer, offset, and
size.  It returns the number of bytes read or an error.

Separate patches will add support for each of the above metadata types.
This patch just adds the ioctl itself.

This ioctl doesn't make any assumption about where the metadata is
stored on-disk.  It does assume the metadata is in a stable format, but
that's basically already the case:

- The Merkle tree and fsverity_descriptor are defined by how fs-verity
  file digests are computed; see the "File digest computation" section
  of Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst.  Technically, the way in
  which the levels of the tree are ordered relative to each other wasn't
  previously specified, but it's logical to put the root level first.

- The built-in signature is the value passed to FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY.

This ioctl is useful because it allows writing a server program that
takes a verity file and serves it to a client program, such that the
client can do its own fs-verity compatible verification of the file.
This only makes sense if the client doesn't trust the server and if the
server needs to provide the storage for the client.

More concretely, there is interest in using this ability in Android to
export APK files (which are protected by fs-verity) to "protected VMs".
This would use Protected KVM (https://lwn.net/Articles/836693), which
provides an isolated execution environment without having to trust the
traditional "host".  A "guest" VM can boot from a signed image and
perform specific tasks in a minimum trusted environment using files that
have fs-verity enabled on the host, without trusting the host or
requiring that the guest has its own trusted storage.

Technically, it would be possible to duplicate the metadata and store it
in separate files for serving.  However, that would be less efficient
and would require extra care in userspace to maintain file consistency.

In addition to the above, the ability to read the built-in signatures is
useful because it allows a system that is using the in-kernel signature
verification to migrate to userspace signature verification.

Daeho Jeong 261eeb9c15 f2fs: introduce checkpoint_merge mount option
We've added a new mount options, "checkpoint_merge" and "nocheckpoint_merge",
which creates a kernel daemon and makes it to merge concurrent checkpoint
requests as much as possible to eliminate redundant checkpoint issues. Plus,
we can eliminate the sluggish issue caused by slow checkpoint operation
when the checkpoint is done in a process context in a cgroup having
low i/o budget and cpu shares. To make this do better, we set the
default i/o priority of the kernel daemon to "3", to give one higher
priority than other kernel threads. The below verification result
explains this.
The basic idea has come from https://opensource.samsung.com.

[Verification]
Android Pixel Device(ARM64, 7GB RAM, 256GB UFS)
Create two I/O cgroups (fg w/ weight 100, bg w/ wight 20)
Set "strict_guarantees" to "1" in BFQ tunables

In "fg" cgroup,
- thread A => trigger 1000 checkpoint operations
  "for i in `seq 1 1000`; do touch test_dir1/file; fsync test_dir1;
   done"
- thread B => gererating async. I/O
  "fio --rw=write --numjobs=1 --bs=128k --runtime=3600 --time_based=1
       --filename=test_img --name=test"

In "bg" cgroup,
- thread C => trigger repeated checkpoint operations
  "echo $$ > /dev/blkio/bg/tasks; while true; do touch test_dir2/file;
   fsync test_dir2; done"

We've measured thread A's execution time.

to the upperdir filesystem. This comes at the cost of safety. We can never
ensure that the user's data is intact, but we can make a best effort to
expose whether or not the data is likely to be in a bad state.

The best way to handle this in the time being is that if an overlayfs's
upperdir experiences an error after a volatile mount occurs, that error
will be returned on fsync, fdatasync, sync, and syncfs. This is
contradictory to the traditional behaviour of VFS which fails the call
once, and only raises an error if a subsequent fsync error has occurred,
and been raised by the filesystem.

One awkward aspect of the patch is that we have to manually set the
superblock's errseq_t after the sync_fs callback as opposed to just
returning an error from syncfs. This is because the call chain looks
something like this:

sys_syncfs ->
	sync_filesystem ->
		__sync_filesystem ->
			/* The return value is ignored here
			sb->s_op->sync_fs(sb)
			_sync_blockdev
		/* Where the VFS fetches the error to raise to userspace */
		errseq_check_and_advance

Because of this we call errseq_set every time the sync_fs callback occurs.
Due to the nature of this seen / unseen dichotomy, if the upperdir is an
inconsistent state at the initial mount time, overlayfs will refuse to
mount, as overlayfs cannot get a snapshot of the upperdir's errseq that
will increment on error until the user calls syncfs.

Chao Yu 3fde13f817 f2fs: compress: support compress level
Expand 'compress_algorithm' mount option to accept parameter as format of
<algorithm>:<level>, by this way, it gives a way to allow user to do more
specified config on lz4 and zstd compression level, then f2fs compression
can provide higher compress ratio.

In order to set compress level for lz4 algorithm, it needs to set
CONFIG_LZ4HC_COMPRESS and CONFIG_F2FS_FS_LZ4HC config to enable lz4hc
compress algorithm.

CR and performance number on lz4/lz4hc algorithm:

dd if=enwik9 of=compressed_file conv=fsync

Original blocks:	244382

Pavel Begunkov c42bca92be bio: don't copy bvec for direct IO
The block layer spends quite a while in blkdev_direct_IO() to copy and
initialise bio's bvec. However, if we've already got a bvec in the input
iterator it might be reused in some cases, i.e. when new
ITER_BVEC_FLAG_FIXED flag is set. Simple tests show considerable
performance boost, and it also reduces memory footprint.

fs: make helpers idmap mount aware
Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.

As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

acl: handle idmapped mounts
The posix acl permission checking helpers determine whether a caller is
privileged over an inode according to the acls associated with the
inode. Add helpers that make it possible to handle acls on idmapped
mounts.

The vfs and the filesystems targeted by this first iteration make use of
posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user() and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() to
translate basic posix access and default permissions such as the
ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP type according to the initial user namespace (or
the superblock's user namespace) to and from the caller's current user
namespace. Adapt these two helpers to handle idmapped mounts whereby we
either map from or into the mount's user namespace depending on in which
direction we're translating.
Similarly, cap_convert_nscap() is used by the vfs to translate user
namespace and non-user namespace aware filesystem capabilities from the
superblock's user namespace to the caller's user namespace. Enable it to
handle idmapped mounts by accounting for the mount's user namespace.

In addition the fileystems targeted in the first iteration of this patch
series make use of the posix_acl_chmod() and, posix_acl_update_mode()
helpers. Both helpers perform permission checks on the target inode. Let
them handle idmapped mounts. These two helpers are called when posix
acls are set by the respective filesystems to handle this case we extend
the ->set() method to take an additional user namespace argument to pass
the mount's user namespace down.

Eric Biggers a38ed483a7 fs: pass only I_DIRTY_INODE flags to ->dirty_inode
->dirty_inode is now only called when I_DIRTY_INODE (I_DIRTY_SYNC and/or
I_DIRTY_DATASYNC) is set.  However it may still be passed other dirty
flags at the same time, provided that these other flags happened to be
passed to __mark_inode_dirty() at the same time as I_DIRTY_INODE.

This doesn't make sense because there is no reason for filesystems to
care about these extra flags.  Nor are filesystems notified about all
updates to these other flags.

Therefore, mask the flags before passing them to ->dirty_inode.

Also properly document ->dirty_inode in vfs.rst.

Eric Biggers 14e43bf435 vfs: don't unnecessarily clone write access for writable fds
There's no need for mnt_want_write_file() to increment mnt_writers when
the file is already open for writing, provided that
mnt_drop_write_file() is changed to conditionally decrement it.

We seem to have ended up in the current situation because
mnt_want_write_file() used to be paired with mnt_drop_write(), due to
mnt_drop_write_file() not having been added yet.  So originally
mnt_want_write_file() had to always increment mnt_writers.

But later mnt_drop_write_file() was added, and all callers of
mnt_want_write_file() were paired with it.  This makes the compatibility
between mnt_want_write_file() and mnt_drop_write() no longer necessary.

Therefore, make __mnt_want_write_file() and __mnt_drop_write_file() skip
incrementing mnt_writers on files already open for writing.  This
removes the only caller of mnt_clone_write(), so remove that too.
