We have a fairly specific alpha binary loader in Linux: running x86
(i386, i486) binaries via the em86 [1] emulator. As noted in the Kconfig
option, the same behavior can be achieved via binfmt_misc, for example,
more nowadays used for running qemu-user.
An example on how to get binfmt_misc running with em86 can be found in
Documentation/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.rst
The defconfig does not have CONFIG_BINFMT_EM86=y set. And doing a
make defconfig && make olddefconfig
results in
# CONFIG_BINFMT_EM86 is not set
... as we don't seem to have any supported Linux distirbution for alpha
anymore, there isn't really any "default" user of that feature anymore.
Searching for "CONFIG_BINFMT_EM86=y" reveals mostly discussions from
around 20 years ago, like [2] describing how to get netscape via em86
running via em86, or [3] discussing that running wine or installing
Win 3.11 through em86 would be a nice feature.
The latest binaries available for em86 are from 2000, version 2.2.1 [4] --
which translates to "unsupported"; further, em86 doesn't even work with
glibc-2.x but only with glibc-2.0 [4, 5]. These are clear signs that
there might not be too many em86 users out there, especially users
relying on modern Linux kernels.
Even though the code footprint is relatively small, let's just get rid
of this blast from the past that's effectively unused.

Add a pair of helper functions:
(*) netfs_readahead()
(*) netfs_readpage()
to do the work of handling a readahead or a readpage, where the page(s)
that form part of the request may be split between the local cache, the
server or just require clearing, and may be single pages and transparent
huge pages. This is all handled within the helper.
Note that while both will read from the cache if there is data present,
only netfs_readahead() will expand the request beyond what it was asked to
do, and only netfs_readahead() will write back to the cache.
netfs_readpage(), on the other hand, is synchronous and only fetches the
page (which might be a THP) it is asked for.
The netfs gives the helper parameters from the VM, the cache cookie it
wants to use (or NULL) and a table of operations (only one of which is
mandatory):
(*) expand_readahead() [optional]
Called to allow the netfs to request an expansion of a readahead
request to meet its own alignment requirements. This is done by
changing rreq->start and rreq->len.
(*) clamp_length() [optional]
Called to allow the netfs to cut down a subrequest to meet its own
boundary requirements. If it does this, the helper will generate
additional subrequests until the full request is satisfied.
(*) is_still_valid() [optional]
Called to find out if the data just read from the cache has been
invalidated and must be reread from the server.
(*) issue_op() [required]
Called to ask the netfs to issue a read to the server. The subrequest
describes the read. The read request holds information about the file
being accessed.
The netfs can cache information in rreq->netfs_priv.
Upon completion, the netfs should set the error, transferred and can
also set FSCACHE_SREQ_CLEAR_TAIL and then call
fscache_subreq_terminated().
(*) done() [optional]
Called after the pages have been unlocked. The read request is still
pinning the file and mapping and may still be pinning pages with
PG_fscache. rreq->error indicates any error that has been
accumulated.
(*) cleanup() [optional]
Called when the helper is disposing of a finished read request. This
allows the netfs to clear rreq->netfs_priv.
Netfs support is enabled with CONFIG_NETFS_SUPPORT=y. It will be built
even if CONFIG_FSCACHE=n and in this case much of it should be optimised
away, allowing the filesystem to use it even when caching is disabled.
Changes:
v5:
- Comment why netfs_readahead() is putting pages[2].
- Use page_file_mapping() rather than page->mapping[2].
- Use page_index() rather than page->index[2].
- Use set_page_fscache()[3] rather then SetPageFsCache() as this takes an
appropriate ref too[4].
v4:
- Folded in a kerneldoc comment fix.
- Folded in a fix for the error handling in the case that ENOMEM occurs.
- Added flag to netfs_subreq_terminated() to indicate that the caller may
have been running async and stuff that might sleep needs punting to a
workqueue (can't use in_softirq()[1]).

The dcookies stuff was only used by the kernel's old oprofile code. Now
that oprofile's support is removed from the kernel, there is no need for
dcookies as well. Remove it.

I would like to move all the generic helpers for the vfs remap range
functionality (aka clonerange and dedupe) into a separate file so that
they won't be scattered across the vfs and the mm subsystems. The
eventual goal is to be able to deselect remap_range.c if none of the
filesystems need that code, but the tricky part here is picking a
stable(ish) part of the merge window to rearrange code.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dlemoal/zonefs
Pull new zonefs file system from Damien Le Moal:
"Zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned
block device as a file.
Unlike a regular file system with native zoned block device support
(e.g. f2fs or the on-going btrfs effort), zonefs does not hide the
sequential write constraint of zoned block devices to the user. As a
result, zonefs is not a POSIX compliant file system. Its goal is to
simplify the implementation of zoned block devices support in
applications by replacing raw block device file accesses with a richer
file based API, avoiding relying on direct block device file ioctls
which may be more obscure to developers.
One example of this approach is the implementation of LSM
(log-structured merge) tree structures (such as used in RocksDB and
LevelDB) on zoned block devices by allowing SSTables to be stored in a
zone file similarly to a regular file system rather than as a range of
sectors of a zoned device. The introduction of the higher level
construct "one file is one zone" can help reducing the amount of
changes needed in the application while at the same time allowing the
use of zoned block devices with various programming languages other
than C.
Zonefs IO management implementation uses the new iomap generic code.
Zonefs has been successfully tested using a functional test suite
(available with zonefs userland format tool on github) and a prototype
implementation of LevelDB on top of zonefs"

zonefs is a very simple file system exposing each zone of a zoned block
device as a file. Unlike a regular file system with zoned block device
support (e.g. f2fs), zonefs does not hide the sequential write
constraint of zoned block devices to the user. Files representing
sequential write zones of the device must be written sequentially
starting from the end of the file (append only writes).
As such, zonefs is in essence closer to a raw block device access
interface than to a full featured POSIX file system. The goal of zonefs
is to simplify the implementation of zoned block device support in
applications by replacing raw block device file accesses with a richer
file API, avoiding relying on direct block device file ioctls which may
be more obscure to developers. One example of this approach is the
implementation of LSM (log-structured merge) tree structures (such as
used in RocksDB and LevelDB) on zoned block devices by allowing SSTables
to be stored in a zone file similarly to a regular file system rather
than as a range of sectors of a zoned device. The introduction of the
higher level construct "one file is one zone" can help reducing the
amount of changes needed in the application as well as introducing
support for different application programming languages.
Zonefs on-disk metadata is reduced to an immutable super block to
persistently store a magic number and optional feature flags and
values. On mount, zonefs uses blkdev_report_zones() to obtain the device
zone configuration and populates the mount point with a static file tree
solely based on this information. E.g. file sizes come from the device
zone type and write pointer offset managed by the device itself.
The zone files created on mount have the following characteristics.
1) Files representing zones of the same type are grouped together
under a common sub-directory:
* For conventional zones, the sub-directory "cnv" is used.
* For sequential write zones, the sub-directory "seq" is used.
These two directories are the only directories that exist in zonefs.
Users cannot create other directories and cannot rename nor delete
the "cnv" and "seq" sub-directories.
2) The name of zone files is the number of the file within the zone
type sub-directory, in order of increasing zone start sector.
3) The size of conventional zone files is fixed to the device zone size.
Conventional zone files cannot be truncated.
4) The size of sequential zone files represent the file's zone write
pointer position relative to the zone start sector. Truncating these
files is allowed only down to 0, in which case, the zone is reset to
rewind the zone write pointer position to the start of the zone, or
up to the zone size, in which case the file's zone is transitioned
to the FULL state (finish zone operation).
5) All read and write operations to files are not allowed beyond the
file zone size. Any access exceeding the zone size is failed with
the -EFBIG error.
6) Creating, deleting, renaming or modifying any attribute of files and
sub-directories is not allowed.
7) There are no restrictions on the type of read and write operations
that can be issued to conventional zone files. Buffered, direct and
mmap read & write operations are accepted. For sequential zone files,
there are no restrictions on read operations, but all write
operations must be direct IO append writes. mmap write of sequential
files is not allowed.
Several optional features of zonefs can be enabled at format time.
* Conventional zone aggregation: ranges of contiguous conventional
zones can be aggregated into a single larger file instead of the
default one file per zone.
* File ownership: The owner UID and GID of zone files is by default 0
(root) but can be changed to any valid UID/GID.
* File access permissions: the default 640 access permissions can be
changed.
The mkzonefs tool is used to format zoned block devices for use with
zonefs. This tool is available on Github at:
git@github.com:damien-lemoal/zonefs-tools.git.
zonefs-tools also includes a test suite which can be run against any
zoned block device, including null_blk block device created with zoned
mode.
Example: the following formats a 15TB host-managed SMR HDD with 256 MB
zones with the conventional zones aggregation feature enabled.
$ sudo mkzonefs -o aggr_cnv /dev/sdX
$ sudo mount -t zonefs /dev/sdX /mnt
$ ls -l /mnt/
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 1 Nov 25 13:23 cnv
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 55356 Nov 25 13:23 seq
The size of the zone files sub-directories indicate the number of files
existing for each type of zones. In this example, there is only one
conventional zone file (all conventional zones are aggregated under a
single file).
$ ls -l /mnt/cnv
total 137101312
-rw-r----- 1 root root 140391743488 Nov 25 13:23 0
This aggregated conventional zone file can be used as a regular file.
$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /mnt/cnv/0
$ sudo mount -o loop /mnt/cnv/0 /data
The "seq" sub-directory grouping files for sequential write zones has
in this example 55356 zones.
$ ls -lv /mnt/seq
total 14511243264
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov 25 13:23 0
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov 25 13:23 1
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov 25 13:23 2
...
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov 25 13:23 55354
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov 25 13:23 55355
For sequential write zone files, the file size changes as data is
appended at the end of the file, similarly to any regular file system.
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/seq/0 bs=4K count=1 conv=notrunc oflag=direct
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
4096 bytes (4.1 kB, 4.0 KiB) copied, 0.000452219 s, 9.1 MB/s
$ ls -l /mnt/seq/0
-rw-r----- 1 root root 4096 Nov 25 13:23 /mnt/seq/0
The written file can be truncated to the zone size, preventing any
further write operation.
$ truncate -s 268435456 /mnt/seq/0
$ ls -l /mnt/seq/0
-rw-r----- 1 root root 268435456 Nov 25 13:49 /mnt/seq/0
Truncation to 0 size allows freeing the file zone storage space and
restart append-writes to the file.
$ truncate -s 0 /mnt/seq/0
$ ls -l /mnt/seq/0
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Nov 25 13:49 /mnt/seq/0
Since files are statically mapped to zones on the disk, the number of
blocks of a file as reported by stat() and fstat() indicates the size
of the file zone.
$ stat /mnt/seq/0
File: /mnt/seq/0
Size: 0 Blocks: 524288 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file
Device: 870h/2160d Inode: 50431 Links: 1

Birth: -
The number of blocks of the file ("Blocks") in units of 512B blocks
gives the maximum file size of 524288 * 512 B = 256 MB, corresponding
to the device zone size in this example. Of note is that the "IO block"
field always indicates the minimum IO size for writes and corresponds
to the device physical sector size.

This adds support for io-wq, a smaller and specialized thread pool
implementation. This is meant to replace workqueues for io_uring. Among
the reasons for this addition are:
- We can assign memory context smarter and more persistently if we
manage the life time of threads.
- We can drop various work-arounds we have in io_uring, like the
async_list.
- We can implement hashed work insertion, to manage concurrency of
buffered writes without needing a) an extra workqueue, or b)
needlessly making the concurrency of said workqueue very low
which hurts performance of multiple buffered file writers.
- We can implement cancel through signals, for cancelling
interruptible work like read/write (or send/recv) to/from sockets.
- We need the above cancel for being able to assign and use file tables
from a process.
- We can implement a more thorough cancel operation in general.
- We need it to move towards a syslet/threadlet model for even faster
async execution. For that we need to take ownership of the used
threads.
This list is just off the top of my head. Performance should be the
same, or better, at least that's what I've seen in my testing. io-wq
supports basic NUMA functionality, setting up a pool per node.
io-wq hooks up to the scheduler schedule in/out just like workqueue
and uses that to drive the need for more/less workers.

Pull fs-verity support from Eric Biggers:
"fs-verity is a filesystem feature that provides Merkle tree based
hashing (similar to dm-verity) for individual readonly files, mainly
for the purpose of efficient authenticity verification.
This pull request includes:
(a) The fs/verity/ support layer and documentation.
(b) fs-verity support for ext4 and f2fs.
Compared to the original fs-verity patchset from last year, the UAPI
to enable fs-verity on a file has been greatly simplified. Lots of
other things were cleaned up too.
fs-verity is planned to be used by two different projects on Android;
most of the userspace code is in place already. Another userspace tool
("fsverity-utils"), and xfstests, are also available. e2fsprogs and
f2fs-tools already have fs-verity support. Other people have shown
interest in using fs-verity too.
I've tested this on ext4 and f2fs with xfstests, both the existing
tests and the new fs-verity tests. This has also been in linux-next
since July 30 with no reported issues except a couple minor ones I
found myself and folded in fixes for.

EROFS filesystem has been merged into linux-staging for a year.
EROFS is designed to be a better solution of saving extra storage
space with guaranteed end-to-end performance for read-only files
with the help of reduced metadata, fixed-sized output compression
and decompression inplace technologies.
In the past year, EROFS was greatly improved by many people as
a staging driver, self-tested, betaed by a large number of our
internal users, successfully applied to almost all in-service
HUAWEI smartphones as the part of EMUI 9.1 and proven to be stable
enough to be moved out of staging.
EROFS is a self-contained filesystem driver. Although there are
still some TODOs to be more generic, we have a dedicated team
actively keeping on working on EROFS in order to make it better
with the evolution of Linux kernel as the other in-kernel filesystems.
As Pavel suggested, it's better to do as one commit since git
can do moves and all histories will be saved in this way.
Let's promote it from staging and enhance it more actively as
a "real" part of kernel for more wider scenarios!

The decomposition and casefolding of UTF-8 characters are described in a
prefix tree in utf8data.h, which is a generate from the Unicode
Character Database (UCD), published by the Unicode Consortium, and
should not be edited by hand. The structures in utf8data.h are meant to
be used for lookup operations by the unicode subsystem, when decoding a
utf-8 string.
mkutf8data.c is the source for a program that generates utf8data.h. It
was written by Olaf Weber from SGI and originally proposed to be merged
into Linux in 2014. The original proposal performed the compatibility
decomposition, NFKD, but the current version was modified by me to do
canonical decomposition, NFD, as suggested by the community. The
changes from the original submission are:
* Rebase to mainline.
* Fix out-of-tree-build.
* Update makefile to build 11.0.0 ucd files.
* drop references to xfs.
* Convert NFKD to NFD.
* Merge back robustness fixes from original patch. Requested by
Dave Chinner.
The original submission is archived at:
<https://linux-xfs.oss.sgi.narkive.com/Xx10wjVY/rfc-unicode-utf-8-support-for-xfs>
The utf8data.h file can be regenerated using the instructions in
fs/unicode/README.utf8data.
- Notes on the update from 8.0.0 to 11.0:
The structure of the ucd files and special cases have not experienced
any changes between versions 8.0.0 and 11.0.0. 8.0.0 saw the addition
of Cherokee LC characters, which is an interesting case for
case-folding. The update is accompanied by new tests on the test_ucd
module to catch specific cases. No changes to mkutf8data script were
required for the updates.

Provide an fsopen() system call that starts the process of preparing to
create a superblock that will then be mountable, using an fd as a context
handle. fsopen() is given the name of the filesystem that will be used:
int mfd = fsopen(const char *fsname, unsigned int flags);
where flags can be 0 or FSOPEN_CLOEXEC.
For example:
sfd = fsopen("ext4", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC);
fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_PATH, "source", "/dev/sda1", AT_FDCWD);
fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "noatime", NULL, 0);
fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "acl", NULL, 0);
fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "user_xattr", NULL, 0);
fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "sb", "1", 0);
fsconfig(sfd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0);
fsinfo(sfd, NULL, ...); // query new superblock attributes
mfd = fsmount(sfd, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, MS_RELATIME);
move_mount(mfd, "", sfd, AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH);
sfd = fsopen("afs", -1);
fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "source",
"#grand.central.org:root.cell", 0);
fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0);
mfd = fsmount(sfd, 0, MS_NODEV);
move_mount(mfd, "", sfd, AT_FDCWD, "/mnt", MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH);
If an error is reported at any step, an error message may be available to be
read() back (ENODATA will be reported if there isn't an error available) in
the form:
"e <subsys>:<problem>"
"e SELinux:Mount on mountpoint not permitted"
Once fsmount() has been called, further fsconfig() calls will incur EBUSY,
even if the fsmount() fails. read() is still possible to retrieve error
information.
The fsopen() syscall creates a mount context and hangs it of the fd that it
returns.
Netlink is not used because it is optional and would make the core VFS
dependent on the networking layer and also potentially add network
namespace issues.
Note that, for the moment, the caller must have SYS_CAP_ADMIN to use
fsopen().

outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted

next cycle fodder.
It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
to fix it up after -rc1 instead.
That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size

Pull io_uring IO interface from Jens Axboe:
"Second attempt at adding the io_uring interface.
Since the first one, we've added basic unit testing of the three
system calls, that resides in liburing like the other unit tests that
we have so far. It'll take a while to get full coverage of it, but
we're working towards it. I've also added two basic test programs to
tools/io_uring. One uses the raw interface and has support for all the
various features that io_uring supports outside of standard IO, like
fixed files, fixed IO buffers, and polled IO. The other uses the
liburing API, and is a simplified version of cp(1).
This adds support for a new IO interface, io_uring.
io_uring allows an application to communicate with the kernel through
two rings, the submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) ring.
This allows for very efficient handling of IOs, see the v5 posting for
some basic numbers:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20190116175003.17880-1-axboe@kernel.dk/
Outside of just efficiency, the interface is also flexible and
extendable, and allows for future use cases like the upcoming NVMe
key-value store API, networked IO, and so on. It also supports async
buffered IO, something that we've always failed to support in the
kernel.
Outside of basic IO features, it supports async polled IO as well.
This particular feature has already been tested at Facebook months ago
for flash storage boxes, with 25-33% improvements. It makes polled IO
actually useful for real world use cases, where even basic flash sees
a nice win in terms of efficiency, latency, and performance. These
boxes were IOPS bound before, now they are not.
This series adds three new system calls. One for setting up an
io_uring instance (io_uring_setup(2)), one for submitting/completing
IO (io_uring_enter(2)), and one for aux functions like registrating
file sets, buffers, etc (io_uring_register(2)). Through the help of
Arnd, I've coordinated the syscall numbers so merge on that front
should be painless.
Jon did a writeup of the interface a while back, which (except for
minor details that have been tweaked) is still accurate. Find that
here:
https://lwn.net/Articles/776703/
Huge thanks to Al Viro for helping getting the reference cycle code
correct, and to Jann Horn for his extensive reviews focused on both
security and bugs in general.
There's a userspace library that provides basic functionality for
applications that don't need or want to care about how to fiddle with
the rings directly. It has helpers to allow applications to easily set
up an io_uring instance, and submit/complete IO through it without
knowing about the intricacies of the rings. It also includes man pages
(thanks to Jeff Moyer), and will continue to grow support helper
functions and features as time progresses. Find it here:

The submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) rings are shared
between the application and the kernel. This eliminates the need to
copy data back and forth to submit and complete IO.
IO submissions use the io_uring_sqe data structure, and completions
are generated in the form of io_uring_cqe data structures. The SQ
ring is an index into the io_uring_sqe array, which makes it possible
to submit a batch of IOs without them being contiguous in the ring.
The CQ ring is always contiguous, as completion events are inherently
unordered, and hence any io_uring_cqe entry can point back to an
arbitrary submission.
Two new system calls are added for this:
io_uring_setup(entries, params)
Sets up an io_uring instance for doing async IO. On success,
returns a file descriptor that the application can mmap to
gain access to the SQ ring, CQ ring, and io_uring_sqes.
io_uring_enter(fd, to_submit, min_complete, flags, sigset, sigsetsize)
Initiates IO against the rings mapped to this fd, or waits for
them to complete, or both. The behavior is controlled by the
parameters passed in. If 'to_submit' is non-zero, then we'll
try and submit new IO. If IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS is set, the
kernel will wait for 'min_complete' events, if they aren't
already available. It's valid to set IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS
and 'min_complete' == 0 at the same time, this allows the
kernel to return already completed events without waiting
for them. This is useful only for polling, as for IRQ
driven IO, the application can just check the CQ ring
without entering the kernel.
With this setup, it's possible to do async IO with a single system
call. Future developments will enable polled IO with this interface,
and polled submission as well. The latter will enable an application
to do IO without doing ANY system calls at all.
For IRQ driven IO, an application only needs to enter the kernel for
completions if it wants to wait for them to occur.
Each io_uring is backed by a workqueue, to support buffered async IO
as well. We will only punt to an async context if the command would
need to wait for IO on the device side. Any data that can be accessed
directly in the page cache is done inline. This avoids the slowness
issue of usual threadpools, since cached data is accessed as quickly
as a sync interface.

Because the new API passes in key,value parameters, match_token() cannot be
used with it. Instead, provide three new helpers to aid with parsing:
(1) fs_parse(). This takes a parameter and a simple static description of
all the parameters and maps the key name to an ID. It returns 1 on a
match, 0 on no match if unknowns should be ignored and some other
negative error code on a parse error.
The parameter description includes a list of key names to IDs, desired
parameter types and a list of enumeration name -> ID mappings.
[!] Note that for the moment I've required that the key->ID mapping
array is expected to be sorted and unterminated. The size of the
array is noted in the fsconfig_parser struct. This allows me to use
bsearch(), but I'm not sure any performance gain is worth the hassle
of requiring people to keep the array sorted.
The parameter type array is sized according to the number of parameter
IDs and is indexed directly. The optional enum mapping array is an
unterminated, unsorted list and the size goes into the fsconfig_parser
struct.
The function can do some additional things:
(a) If it's not ambiguous and no value is given, the prefix "no" on
a key name is permitted to indicate that the parameter should
be considered negatory.
(b) If the desired type is a single simple integer, it will perform
an appropriate conversion and store the result in a union in
the parse result.
(c) If the desired type is an enumeration, {key ID, name} will be
looked up in the enumeration list and the matching value will
be stored in the parse result union.
(d) Optionally generate an error if the key is unrecognised.
This is called something like:
enum rdt_param {
Opt_cdp,
Opt_cdpl2,
Opt_mba_mpbs,
nr__rdt_params
};
const struct fs_parameter_spec rdt_param_specs[nr__rdt_params] = {
[Opt_cdp] = { fs_param_is_bool },
[Opt_cdpl2] = { fs_param_is_bool },
[Opt_mba_mpbs] = { fs_param_is_bool },
};
const const char *const rdt_param_keys[nr__rdt_params] = {
[Opt_cdp] = "cdp",
[Opt_cdpl2] = "cdpl2",
[Opt_mba_mpbs] = "mba_mbps",
};
const struct fs_parameter_description rdt_parser = {
.name = "rdt",
.nr_params = nr__rdt_params,
.keys = rdt_param_keys,
.specs = rdt_param_specs,
.no_source = true,
};
int rdt_parse_param(struct fs_context *fc,
struct fs_parameter *param)
{
struct fs_parse_result parse;
struct rdt_fs_context *ctx = rdt_fc2context(fc);
int ret;
ret = fs_parse(fc, &rdt_parser, param, &parse);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
switch (parse.key) {
case Opt_cdp:
ctx->enable_cdpl3 = true;
return 0;
case Opt_cdpl2:
ctx->enable_cdpl2 = true;
return 0;
case Opt_mba_mpbs:
ctx->enable_mba_mbps = true;
return 0;
}
return -EINVAL;
}
(2) fs_lookup_param(). This takes a { dirfd, path, LOOKUP_EMPTY? } or
string value and performs an appropriate path lookup to convert it
into a path object, which it will then return.
If the desired type was a blockdev, the type of the looked up inode
will be checked to make sure it is one.
This can be used like:
enum foo_param {
Opt_source,
nr__foo_params
};
const struct fs_parameter_spec foo_param_specs[nr__foo_params] = {
[Opt_source] = { fs_param_is_blockdev },
};
const char *char foo_param_keys[nr__foo_params] = {
[Opt_source] = "source",
};
const struct constant_table foo_param_alt_keys[] = {
{ "device", Opt_source },
};
const struct fs_parameter_description foo_parser = {
.name = "foo",
.nr_params = nr__foo_params,
.nr_alt_keys = ARRAY_SIZE(foo_param_alt_keys),
.keys = foo_param_keys,
.alt_keys = foo_param_alt_keys,
.specs = foo_param_specs,
};
int foo_parse_param(struct fs_context *fc,
struct fs_parameter *param)
{
struct fs_parse_result parse;
struct foo_fs_context *ctx = foo_fc2context(fc);
int ret;
ret = fs_parse(fc, &foo_parser, param, &parse);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
switch (parse.key) {
case Opt_source:
return fs_lookup_param(fc, &foo_parser, param,
&parse, &ctx->source);
default:
return -EINVAL;
}
}
(3) lookup_constant(). This takes a table of named constants and looks up
the given name within it. The table is expected to be sorted such
that bsearch() be used upon it.
Possibly I should require the table be terminated and just use a
for-loop to scan it instead of using bsearch() to reduce hassle.
Tables look something like:
static const struct constant_table bool_names[] = {
{ "0", false },
{ "1", true },
{ "false", false },
{ "no", false },
{ "true", true },
{ "yes", true },
};
and a lookup is done with something like:
b = lookup_constant(bool_names, param->string, -1);
Additionally, optional validation routines for the parameter description
are provided that can be enabled at compile time. A later patch will
invoke these when a filesystem is registered.

Introduce a filesystem context concept to be used during superblock
creation for mount and superblock reconfiguration for remount. This is
allocated at the beginning of the mount procedure and into it is placed:
(1) Filesystem type.
(2) Namespaces.
(3) Source/Device names (there may be multiple).
(4) Superblock flags (SB_*).
(5) Security details.
(6) Filesystem-specific data, as set by the mount options.
Accessor functions are then provided to set up a context, parameterise it
from monolithic mount data (the data page passed to mount(2)) and tear it
down again.
A legacy wrapper is provided that implements what will be the basic
operations, wrapping access to filesystems that aren't yet aware of the
fs_context.
Finally, vfs_kern_mount() is changed to make use of the fs_context and
mount_fs() is replaced by vfs_get_tree(), called from vfs_kern_mount().

There's no need to retain the fs/autofs4 directory for backward
compatibility.
Adding an AUTOFS4_FS fragment to the autofs Kconfig and a module alias
for autofs4 is sufficient for almost all cases. Not keeping fs/autofs4
remnants will prevent "insmod <path>/autofs4/autofs4.ko" from working
but this shouldn't be used in automation scripts rather than
modprobe(8).
There were some comments about things to look out for with the module
rename in the fs/autofs4/Kconfig that is removed by this patch, see the
commit patch if you are interested.
One potential problem with this change is that when the
fs/autofs/Kconfig fragment for AUTOFS4_FS is removed any AUTOFS4_FS
entries will be removed from the kernel config, resulting in no autofs
file system being built if there is no AUTOFS_FS entry also.
This would have also happened if the fs/autofs4 remnants had remained
and is most likely to be a problem with automated builds.
Please check your build configurations before the removal which will
occur after the next couple of kernel releases.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Logfs was introduced to the kernel in 2009, and hasn't seen any non
drive-by changes since 2012, while having lots of unsolved issues
including the complete lack of error handling, with more and more
issues popping up without any fixes.
The logfs.org domain has been bouncing from a mail, and the maintainer
on the non-logfs.org domain hasn't repsonded to past queries either.

Add infrastructure for multipage buffered writes. This is implemented
using an main iterator that applies an actor function to a range that
can be written.
This infrastucture is used to implement a buffered write helper, one
to zero file ranges and one to implement the ->page_mkwrite VM
operations. All of them borrow a fair amount of code from fs/buffers.
for now by using an internal version of __block_write_begin that
gets passed an iomap and builds the corresponding buffer head.
The file system is gets a set of paired ->iomap_begin and ->iomap_end
calls which allow it to map/reserve a range and get a notification
once the write code is finished with it.
Based on earlier code from Dave Chinner.

Pull orangefs filesystem from Mike Marshall.
This finally merges the long-pending orangefs filesystem, which has been
much cleaned up with input from Al Viro over the last six months. From
the documentation file:
"OrangeFS is an LGPL userspace scale-out parallel storage system. It
is ideal for large storage problems faced by HPC, BigData, Streaming
Video, Genomics, Bioinformatics.
Orangefs, originally called PVFS, was first developed in 1993 by Walt
Ligon and Eric Blumer as a parallel file system for Parallel Virtual
Machine (PVM) as part of a NASA grant to study the I/O patterns of
parallel programs.
Orangefs features include:
- Distributes file data among multiple file servers
- Supports simultaneous access by multiple clients
- Stores file data and metadata on servers using local file system
and access methods
- Userspace implementation is easy to install and maintain
- Direct MPI support
- Stateless"
see Documentation/filesystems/orangefs.txt for more in-depth details.

Prevent clean ext3 filesystems from mounting by default with the ext2
driver (with no journal!) by putting ext4 ahead of ext2 in the default
probe order. This will have the effect of mounting ext2 filesystems
with ext4.ko by default, which is a safer failure than hoping the user
notices that their journalled ext3 is now running without a journal!
Users who require ext2.ko for ext2 can either disable ext4.ko or
explicitly request ext2 via "mount -t ext2" or "rootfstype=ext2".

The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major
distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3
filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting
from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty
bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable
pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the
ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code.

Pull tracefs from Steven Rostedt:
"This adds the new tracefs file system.
This has been in linux-next for more than one release, as I had it
ready for the 4.0 merge window, but a last minute thing that needed to
go into Linux first had to be done. That was that perf hard coded the
file system number when reading /sys/kernel/debugfs/tracing directory
making sure that the path had the debugfs mount # before it would
parse the tracing file. This broke other use cases of perf, and the
check is removed.
Now when mounting /sys/kernel/debug, tracefs is automatically mounted
in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing such that old tools will still see that
path as expected. But now system admins can mount tracefs directly
and not need to mount debugfs, which can expose security issues. A
new directory is created when tracefs is configured such that system
admins can now mount it separately (/sys/kernel/tracing)"
