Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.tmpfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull libfs and tmpfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This cycle saw a lot of work for tmpfs that required changes to the
  vfs layer. Andrew, Hugh, and I decided to take tmpfs through vfs this
  cycle. Things will go back to mm next cycle.

  Features
  ========

   - By far the biggest work is the quota support for tmpfs. New tmpfs
     quota infrastructure is added to support it and a new QFMT_SHMEM
     uapi option is exposed.

     This offers user and group quotas to tmpfs (project quotas will be
     added later). Similar to other filesystems tmpfs quota are not
     supported within user namespaces yet.

   - Add support for user xattrs. While tmpfs already supports security
     xattrs (security.*) and POSIX ACLs for a long time it lacked
     support for user xattrs (user.*). With this pull request tmpfs will
     be able to support a limited number of user xattrs.

     This is accompanied by a fix (see below) to limit persistent simple
     xattr allocations.

   - Add support for stable directory offsets. Currently tmpfs relies on
     the libfs provided cursor-based mechanism for readdir. This causes
     issues when a tmpfs filesystem is exported via NFS.

     NFS clients do not open directories. Instead, each server-side
     readdir operation opens the directory, reads it, and then closes
     it. Since the cursor state for that directory is associated with
     the opened file it is discarded after each readdir operation. Such
     directory offsets are not just cached by NFS clients but also
     various userspace libraries based on these clients.

     As it stands there is no way to invalidate the caches when
     directory offsets have changed and the whole application depends on
     unchanging directory offsets.

     At LSFMM we discussed how to solve this problem and decided to
     support stable directory offsets. libfs now allows filesystems like
     tmpfs to use an xarrary to map a directory offset to a dentry. This
     mechanism is currently only used by tmpfs but can be supported by
     others as well.

  Fixes
  =====

   - Change persistent simple xattrs allocations in libfs from
     GFP_KERNEL to GPF_KERNEL_ACCOUNT so they're subject to memory
     cgroup limits. Since this is a change to libfs it affects both
     tmpfs and kernfs.

   - Correctly verify {g,u}id mount options.

     A new filesystem context is created via fsopen() which records the
     namespace that becomes the owning namespace of the superblock when
     fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE) is called for filesystems that are
     mountable in namespaces. However, fsconfig() calls can occur in a
     namespace different from the namespace where fsopen() has been
     called.

     Currently, when fsconfig() is called to set {g,u}id mount options
     the requested {g,u}id is mapped into a k{g,u}id according to the
     namespace where fsconfig() was called from. The resulting k{g,u}id
     is not guaranteed to be resolvable in the namespace of the
     filesystem (the one that fsopen() was called in).

     This means it's possible for an unprivileged user to create files
     owned by any group in a tmpfs mount since it's possible to set the
     setid bits on the tmpfs directory.

     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.

     The new mount api's cross-namespace delegation abilities are
     already widely used. Having talked to a bunch of userspace this is
     the most faithful solution with minimal regression risks"
