Depending upon your philosophical viewpoint, either tmpfs always does
direct IO, or it cannot ever do direct IO; but whichever, if tmpfs is to
stand in for a more sophisticated filesystem, it can be helpful for tmpfs
to support O_DIRECT. So, give tmpfs a shmem_file_open() method, to set
the FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT flag: then unchanged shmem_file_read_iter() and new
shmem_file_write_iter() do the work (without any shmem_direct_IO() stub).
Perhaps later, once the direct_IO method has been eliminated from all
filesystems, generic_file_write_iter() will be such that tmpfs can again
use it, even for O_DIRECT.
xfstests auto generic which were not run on tmpfs before but now pass:
036 091 113 125 130 133 135 198 207 208 209 210 211 212 214 226 239 263

with no new failures.
LTP dio tests which were not run on tmpfs before but now pass:
dio01 through dio30, except for dio04 and dio10, which fail because
tmpfs dio read and write allow odd count: tmpfs could be made stricter,
but would that be an improvement?

Enable "user." extended attributes on tmpfs, limiting them by tracking
the space they occupy, and deducting that space from the limited ispace
(unless tmpfs mounted with nr_inodes=0 to leave that ispace unlimited).
tmpfs inodes and simple xattrs are both unswappable, and have to be in
lowmem on a 32-bit highmem kernel: so the ispace limit is appropriate
for xattrs, without any need for a further mount option.
Add simple_xattr_space() to give approximate but deterministic estimate
of the space taken up by each xattr: with simple_xattrs_free() outputting
the space freed if required (but kernfs and even some tmpfs usages do not
require that, so don't waste time on strlen'ing if not needed).
Security and trusted xattrs were already supported: for consistency and
simplicity, account them from the same pool; though there's a small risk
that a tmpfs with enough space before would now be considered too small.
When extended attributes are used, "df -i" does show more IUsed and less
IFree than can be explained by the inodes: document that (manpage later).

In preparation for assigning some inode space to extended attributes,
keep track of free_ispace instead of number of free_inodes: as if one
tmpfs inode (and accompanying dentry) occupies very approximately 1KiB.
Unsigned long is large enough for free_ispace, on 64-bit and on 32-bit:
but take care to enforce the maximum. And fix the nr_blocks maximum on
32-bit: S64_MAX would be too big for it there, so say LONG_MAX instead.

tmpfs wants to support limited user extended attributes, but kernfs
(or cgroupfs, the only kernfs with KERNFS_ROOT_SUPPORT_USER_XATTR)
already supports user extended attributes through simple xattrs: but
limited by a policy (128KiB per inode) too liberal to be used on tmpfs.
To allow a different limiting policy for tmpfs, without affecting the
policy for kernfs, change simple_xattr_set() to return the replaced or
removed xattr (if any), leaving the caller to update their accounting
then free the xattr (by simple_xattr_free(), renamed from the static
free_simple_xattr()).

A while ago we received the following report:
"The other outstanding issue I noticed comes from the fact that
fsconfig syscalls may occur in a different userns than that which
called fsopen. That means that resolving the uid/gid via
current_user_ns() can save a kuid that isn't mapped in the associated
namespace when the filesystem is finally mounted. This means that it
is possible for an unprivileged user to create files owned by any
group in a tmpfs mount (since we can set the SUID bit on the tmpfs
directory), or a tmpfs that is owned by any user, including the root
group/user."
The contract for {g,u}id mount options and {g,u}id values in general set
from userspace has always been that they are translated according to the
caller's idmapping. In so far, tmpfs has been doing the correct thing.
But since tmpfs is mountable in unprivileged contexts it is also
necessary to verify that the resulting {k,g}uid is representable in the
namespace of the superblock to avoid such bugs as above.
The new mount api's cross-namespace delegation abilities are already
widely used. After having talked to a bunch of userspace this is the
most faithful solution with minimal regression risks. I know of one
users - systemd - that makes use of the new mount api in this way and
they don't set unresolable {g,u}ids. So the regression risk is minimal.

Commit "shmem: fix quota lock nesting in huge hole handling" was not so
good: Smatch caught shmem_recalc_inode()'s shmem_inode_unacct_blocks()
descending into quota_send_warning(): where blocking GFP_NOFS is used,
yet shmem_recalc_inode() is called holding the shmem inode's info->lock.
Yes, both __dquot_alloc_space() and __dquot_free_space() are commented
"This operation can block, but only after everything is updated" - when
calling flush_warnings() at the end - both its print_warning() and its
quota_send_warning() may block.
Rework shmem_recalc_inode() to take the shmem inode's info->lock inside,
and drop it before calling shmem_inode_unacct_blocks().
And why were the spin_locks disabling interrupts? That was just a relic
from when shmem_charge() and shmem_uncharge() were called while holding
i_pages xa_lock: stop disabling interrupts for info->lock now.
To help stop me from making the same mistake again, add a might_sleep()
into shmem_inode_acct_block() and shmem_inode_unacct_blocks(); and those
functions have grown, so let the compiler decide whether to inline them.

The current cursor-based directory offset mechanism doesn't work
when a tmpfs filesystem is exported via NFS. This is because NFS
clients do not open directories. Each server-side READDIR operation
has to open the directory, read it, then close it. The cursor state
for that directory, being associated strictly with the opened
struct file, is thus discarded after each NFS READDIR operation.
Directory offsets are cached not only by NFS clients, but also by
user space libraries on those clients. Essentially there is no way
to invalidate those caches when directory offsets have changed on
an NFS server after the offset-to-dentry mapping changes. Thus the
whole application stack depends on unchanging directory offsets.
The solution we've come up with is to make the directory offset for
each file in a tmpfs filesystem stable for the life of the directory
entry it represents.
shmem_readdir() and shmem_dir_llseek() now use an xarray to map each
directory offset (an loff_t integer) to the memory address of a
struct dentry.

i_pages lock nests inside i_lock, but shmem_charge() and shmem_uncharge()
were being called from THP splitting or collapsing while i_pages lock was
held, and now go on to call dquot_alloc_block_nodirty() which takes
i_lock to update i_blocks.
We may well want to take i_lock out of this path later, in the non-quota
case even if it's left in the quota case (or perhaps use i_lock instead
of shmem's info->lock throughout); but don't get into that at this time.
Move the shmem_charge() and shmem_uncharge() calls out from under i_pages
lock, accounting the full batch of holes in a single call.
Still pass the pages argument to shmem_uncharge(), but it happens now to
be unused: shmem_recalc_inode() is designed to account for clean pages
freed behind shmem's back, so it gets the accounting right by itself;
then the later call to shmem_inode_unacct_blocks() led to imbalance
(that WARN_ON(inode->i_blocks) in shmem_evict_inode()).

generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately

and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain
timestamps.
Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers
just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers
(e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

(Perhaps that ugliness can be improved at the mm end later.)

The new filemap_splice_read() has an implicit expectation via
filemap_get_pages() that ->read_folio() exists if ->readahead() doesn't
fully populate the pagecache of the file it is reading from[1], potentially
leading to a jump to NULL if this doesn't exist. shmem, however, (and by
extension, tmpfs, ramfs and rootfs), doesn't have ->read_folio(),
Work around this by equipping shmem with its own splice-read
implementation, based on filemap_splice_read(), but able to paste in
zero_page when there's a page missing.

Many userfaultfd ioctl functions take both a 'mode' and a 'wp_copy'
argument. In future commits we plan to plumb the flags through to more
places, so we'd be proliferating the very long argument list even further.
Let's take the time to simplify the argument list. Combine the two
arguments into one - and generalize, so when we add more flags in the
future, it doesn't imply more function arguments.
Since the modes (copy, zeropage, continue) are mutually exclusive, store
them as an integer value (0, 1, 2) in the low bits. Place combine-able
flag bits in the high bits.
This is quite similar to an earlier patch proposed by Nadav Amit
("userfaultfd: introduce uffd_flags" [1]). The main difference is that
patch only handled flags, whereas this patch *also* combines the "mode"
argument into the same type to shorten the argument list.

Quite a few userfaultfd functions took both mm and vma pointers as
arguments. Since the mm is trivially accessible via vma->vm_mm, there's
no reason to pass both; it just needlessly extends the already long
argument list.
Get rid of the mm pointer, where possible, to shorten the argument list.

Instead of returning NULL for all errors, distinguish between:
- no entry found and not asked to allocated (-ENOENT)
- failed to allocate memory (-ENOMEM)
- would block (-EAGAIN)
so that callers don't have to guess the error based on the passed in
flags.
Also pass through the error through the direct callers: filemap_get_folio,
filemap_lock_folio filemap_grab_folio and filemap_get_incore_folio.

Use the very low level filemap_get_entry helper to look up the entry in
the xarray, and then:
- don't bother locking the folio if only doing a userfault notification
- open code locking the page and checking for truncation in a related
code block
This will allow to eventually remove the FGP_ENTRY flag.

In doing experimentations with shmem having the option to avoid swap
becomes a useful mechanism. One of the *raves* about brd over shmem is
you can avoid swap, but that's not really a good reason to use brd if we
can instead use shmem. Using brd has its own good reasons to exist, but
just because "tmpfs" doesn't let you do that is not a great reason to
avoid it if we can easily add support for it.
I don't add support for reconfiguring incompatible options, but if we
really wanted to we can add support for that.
To avoid swap we use mapping_set_unevictable() upon inode creation, and
put a WARN_ON_ONCE() stop-gap on writepages() for reclaim.

In theory when info->flags & VM_LOCKED we should not be getting
shem_writepage() called so we should be verifying this with a
WARN_ON_ONCE(). Since we should not be swapping then best to ensure we
also don't do the folio split earlier too. So just move the check early
to avoid folio splits in case its a dubious call.
We also have a similar early bail when !total_swap_pages so just move that
earlier to avoid the possible folio split in the same situation.

i915_gem requires huge folios to be split when swapping. However we have
check for usage of writepages() to ensure it used only for swap purposes
later. Avoid the splits if we're not being called for reclaim, even if
they should in theory not happen.
This makes the conditions easier to follow on shem_writepage().

shmem_writepage() sets up variables typically used *after* a possible huge
page split. However even if that does happen the address space mapping
should not change, and the inode does not change either. So it should be
safe to set that from the very beginning.
This commit makes no functional changes.

Patch series "tmpfs: add the option to disable swap", v2.
I'm doing this work as part of future experimentation with tmpfs and the
page cache, but given a common complaint found about tmpfs is the
innability to work without the page cache I figured this might be useful
to others. It turns out it is -- at least Christian Brauner indicates
systemd uses ramfs for a few use-cases because they don't want to use swap
and so having this option would let them move over to using tmpfs for
those small use cases, see systemd-creds(1).
To see if you hit swap:
mkswap /dev/nvme2n1
swapon /dev/nvme2n1
free -h
With swap - what we see today
=============================
mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data-tmpfs/5g-rand2 bs=1G count=5
free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.7Gi 2.6Gi 1.2Gi 2.2Gi 2.2Gi 1.2Gi
Swap: 99Gi 2.8Gi 97Gi
Without swap
=============
free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.7Gi 387Mi 3.4Gi 2.1Mi 57Mi 3.3Gi
Swap: 99Gi 0B 99Gi
mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/data-tmpfs/5g-rand2 bs=1G count=5
free -h
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3.7Gi 2.6Gi 1.2Gi 2.3Gi 2.3Gi 1.1Gi
Swap: 99Gi 21Mi 99Gi
The mix and match remount testing
=================================
# Cannot disable swap after it was first enabled:
mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
mount -t tmpfs -o remount -o size=5G -o noswap tmpfs /data-tmpfs/
mount: /data-tmpfs: mount point not mounted or bad option.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
dmesg -c
tmpfs: Cannot disable swap on remount

This patch (of 6):
Matthew notes we should not need to check the folio lock on the
writepage() callback so remove it. This sanity check has been lingering
since linux-history days. We remove this as we tidy up the writepage()
callback to make things a bit clearer.

Remove struct posix_acl_{access,default}_handler for all filesystems
that don't depend on the xattr handler in their inode->i_op->listxattr()
method in any way. There's nothing more to do than to simply remove the
handler. It's been effectively unused ever since we introduced the new
posix acl api.

Merge tag 'fs.idmapped.v6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping
Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:
- Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs:
introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached
to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy
to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with
namespaces that are relevant on the mount level. Especially for
non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
potential source for bugs.
This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.
Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments.
Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.
Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.
We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
requirements.
In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.
- Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.
A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.
However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
up.
As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
additional tests.

Pass vm_flags as a parameter to shmem_is_huge, rather than reading the
flags from the vm_area_struct in question. This allows the updated flags
from hugepage_madvise to be passed to the check, which is necessary
because madvise does not update the vm_area_struct's flags until after
hugepage_madvise returns.
This fixes an issue when shmem_enabled=madvise, where MADV_HUGEPAGE on
shmem was not able to register the mm_struct with khugepaged. Prior to
cd89fb065099, the mm_struct was registered by MADV_HUGEPAGE regardless of
the value of shmem_enabled (which was only checked when scanning vmas).
