Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b ("mm:
  introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback").

  This is preferred to the existing f_op->mmap() hook as it does require
  a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke
  this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual
  address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations.

  This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a
  single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly
  reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state.

  Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of
  incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been
  the cause of bugs and complexity in the past.

  The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op->mmap, and in that vein this
  series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op->mmap_prepare.

  Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap
  capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than
  directly checking for f_op->mmap (which is now not a valid check) and
  secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA
  parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted.

  Commit bb666b7c27 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for
  nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file
  systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow
  f_op->mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op->mmap() callback.

  This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly
  with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we
  finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed.

  As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they
  can nest all other file systems.

  We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to
  remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later
  series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping
  insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs,
  syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.
  We shall return to all of these later"

11fe69fbd5 Current exclusion rules for ->d_flags stores are rather unpleasant.
The basic rules are simple:
 	* stores to dentry->d_flags are OK under dentry->d_lock.
 	* stores to dentry->d_flags are OK in the dentry constructor, before
 becomes potentially visible to other threads.
 Unfortunately, there's a couple of exceptions to that, and that's where the
 headache comes from.
 
 	Main PITA comes from d_set_d_op(); that primitive sets ->d_op
 of dentry and adjusts the flags that correspond to presence of individual
 methods.  It's very easy to misuse; existing uses _are_ safe, but proof
 of correctness is brittle.
 
 	Use in __d_alloc() is safe (we are within a constructor), but we
 might as well precalculate the initial value of ->d_flags when we set
 the default ->d_op for given superblock and set ->d_flags directly
 instead of messing with that helper.
 
 	The reasons why other uses are safe are bloody convoluted; I'm not going
 to reproduce it here.  See https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250224010624.GT1977892@ZenIV/
 for gory details, if you care.  The critical part is using d_set_d_op() only
 just prior to d_splice_alias(), which makes a combination of d_splice_alias()
 with setting ->d_op, etc. a natural replacement primitive.  Better yet, if
 we go that way, it's easy to take setting ->d_op and modifying ->d_flags
 under ->d_lock, which eliminates the headache as far as ->d_flags exclusion
 rules are concerned.  Other exceptions are minor and easy to deal with.
 
 	What this series does:
 * d_set_d_op() is no longer available; new primitive (d_splice_alias_ops())
 is provided, equivalent to combination of d_set_d_op() and d_splice_alias().
 * new field of struct super_block - ->s_d_flags.  Default value of ->d_flags
 to be used when allocating dentries on this filesystem.
 * new primitive for setting ->s_d_op: set_default_d_op().  Replaces stores
 to ->s_d_op at mount time.  All in-tree filesystems converted; out-of-tree
 ones will get caught by compiler (->s_d_op is renamed, so stores to it will
 be caught).  ->s_d_flags is set by the same primitive to match the ->s_d_op.
 * a lot of filesystems had ->s_d_op->d_delete equal to always_delete_dentry;
 that is equivalent to setting DCACHE_DONTCACHE in ->d_flags, so such filesystems
 can bloody well set that bit in ->s_d_flags and drop ->d_delete() from
 dentry_operations.  In quite a few cases that results in empty dentry_operations,
 which means that we can get rid of those.
 * kill simple_dentry_operations - not needed anymore.
 * massage d_alloc_parallel() to get rid of the other exception wrt ->d_flags
 stores - we can set DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP as soon as we allocate the new dentry;
 no need to delay that until we commit to using the sucker.
 
 As the result, ->d_flags stores are all either under ->d_lock or done before
 the dentry becomes visible in any shared data structures.

fs: convert most other generic_file_*mmap() users to .mmap_prepare()
Update nearly all generic_file_mmap() and generic_file_readonly_mmap()
callers to use generic_file_mmap_prepare() and
generic_file_readonly_mmap_prepare() respectively.

We update blkdev, 9p, afs, erofs, ext2, nfs, ntfs3, smb, ubifs and vboxsf
file systems this way.

Remaining users we cannot yet update are ecryptfs, fuse and cramfs. The
former two are nested file systems that must support any underlying file
ssytem, and cramfs inserts a mixed mapping which currently requires a VMA.

Once all file systems have been converted to mmap_prepare(), we can then
update nested file systems.

 "Automount wart removal

  A bunch of odd boilerplate gone from instances - the reason for
  those was the need to protect the yet-to-be-attched mount from
  mark_mounts_for_expiry() deciding to take it out.

  But that's easy to detect and take care of in mark_mounts_for_expiry()
  itself; no need to have every instance simulate mount being busy by
  grabbing an extra reference to it, with finish_automount() undoing
  that once it attaches that mount.

  Should've done it that way from the very beginning... This is a

1b98f357da Networking changes for 6.16.
Core
 ----
 
  - Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
    data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.
 
  - Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
    under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
    faster.
 
  - Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing
    again the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
    scalability.
 
  - Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
    abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
    micro-benchmarks.
 
  - Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
    performance improvement in related stream tests.
 
  - Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
    prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
    on PREMPT_RT.
 
  - Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
    verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.
 
 Netfilter
 ---------
 
  - Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
    considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools
    still use this interface.
 
  - Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain
    and flowtables.
 
  - Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.
 
  - Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
    introspection.
 
 BPF
 ---
 
  - BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
    programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
    using the "tc qdisc" command.
 
  - Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
    WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.
 
 Protocols
 ---------
 
  - Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
    upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the single
    flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.
 
  - Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
    security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.
 
  - Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
    matches the nexthop device.
 
  - Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
    and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.
 
  - Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
    distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
    organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
    in the fast path.
 
  - Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.
 
 Driver API
 ----------
 
  - Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
    the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
    unsupported flags.
 
  - Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.
 
  - Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
    dump operations targeting PHYs.
 
 Tests and tooling
 -----------------
 
  - Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
    ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
    qdisc layer configuration.
 
  - Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
    known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
    netlink output.
 
  - Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.
 
  - Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.
 
 New hardware / drivers
 ----------------------
 
  - OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing
    to the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT
    the user-space implementation.
 
  - Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.
 
  - Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.
 
  - AMD Renoir ethernet device.
 
  - ReakTek MT9888 2.5G ethernet PHY driver.
 
  - Aeonsemi 10G C45 PHYs driver.
 
 Drivers
 -------
 
  - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
    - nVidia/Mellanox (mlx5):
      - refactor the stearing table handling to reduce significantly
        the amount of memory used
      - add support for complex matches in H/W flow steering
      - improve flow streeing error handling
      - convert to netdev instance locking
    - Intel (100G, ice, igb, ixgbe, idpf):
      - ice: add switchdev support for LLDP traffic over VF
      - ixgbe: add firmware manipulation and regions devlink support
      - igb: introduce support for frame transmission premption
      - igb: adds persistent NAPI configuration
      - idpf: introduce RDMA support
      - idpf: add initial PTP support

Merge tag 'net-next-6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core:

   - Implement the Device Memory TCP transmit path, allowing zero-copy
     data transmission on top of TCP from e.g. GPU memory to the wire.

   - Move all the IPv6 routing tables management outside the RTNL scope,
     under its own lock and RCU. The route control path is now 3x times
     faster.

   - Convert queue related netlink ops to instance lock, reducing again
     the scope of the RTNL lock. This improves the control plane
     scalability.

   - Refactor the software crc32c implementation, removing unneeded
     abstraction layers and improving significantly the related
     micro-benchmarks.

   - Optimize the GRO engine for UDP-tunneled traffic, for a 10%
     performance improvement in related stream tests.

   - Cover more per-CPU storage with local nested BH locking; this is a
     prep work to remove the current per-CPU lock in local_bh_disable()
     on PREMPT_RT.

   - Introduce and use nlmsg_payload helper, combining buffer bounds
     verification with accessing payload carried by netlink messages.

  Netfilter:

   - Rewrite the procfs conntrack table implementation, improving
     considerably the dump performance. A lot of user-space tools still
     use this interface.

   - Implement support for wildcard netdevice in netdev basechain and
     flowtables.

   - Integrate conntrack information into nft trace infrastructure.

   - Export set count and backend name to userspace, for better
     introspection.

  BPF:

   - BPF qdisc support: BPF-qdisc can be implemented with BPF struct_ops
     programs and can be controlled in similar way to traditional qdiscs
     using the "tc qdisc" command.

   - Refactor the UDP socket iterator, addressing long standing issues
     WRT duplicate hits or missed sockets.

  Protocols:

   - Improve TCP receive buffer auto-tuning and increase the default
     upper bound for the receive buffer; overall this improves the
     single flow maximum thoughput on 200Gbs link by over 60%.

   - Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC; it provides transport
     security for connections to the AFS fileserver and VL server.

   - Improve TCP multipath routing, so that the sources address always
     matches the nexthop device.

   - Introduce SO_PASSRIGHTS for AF_UNIX, to allow disabling SCM_RIGHTS,
     and thus preventing DoS caused by passing around problematic FDs.

   - Retire DCCP socket. DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major
     distros disable it by default. Its removal allows for better
     organisation of TCP fields to reduce the number of cache lines hit
     in the fast path.

   - Extend TCP drop-reason support to cover PAWS checks.

  Driver API:

   - Reorganize PTP ioctl flag support to require an explicit opt-in for
     the drivers, avoiding the problem of drivers not rejecting new
     unsupported flags.

   - Converted several device drivers to timestamping APIs.

   - Introduce per-PHY ethtool dump helpers, improving the support for
     dump operations targeting PHYs.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Add support for classic netlink in user space C codegen, so that
     ynl-c can now read, create and modify links, routes addresses and
     qdisc layer configuration.

   - Add ynl sub-types for binary attributes, allowing ynl-c to output
     known struct instead of raw binary data, clarifying the classic
     netlink output.

   - Extend MPTCP selftests to improve the code-coverage.

   - Add tests for XDP tail adjustment in AF_XDP.

  New hardware / drivers:

   - OpenVPN virtual driver: offload OpenVPN data channels processing to
     the kernel-space, increasing the data transfer throughput WRT the
     user-space implementation.

   - Renesas glue driver for the gigabit ethernet RZ/V2H(P) SoC.

   - Broadcom asp-v3.0 ethernet driver.

   - AMD Renoir ethernet device.

   - ReakTek MT9888 2.5G ethernet PHY driver.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.16-rc1.async.dir' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs directory lookup updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains cleanups for the lookup_one*() family of helpers.

  We expose a set of functions with names containing "lookup_one_len"
  and others without the "_len". This difference has nothing to do with
  "len". It's rater a historical accident that can be confusing.

  The functions without "_len" take a "mnt_idmap" pointer. This is found
  in the "vfsmount" and that is an important question when choosing
  which to use: do you have a vfsmount, or are you "inside" the
  filesystem. A related question is "is permission checking relevant
  here?".

  nfsd and cachefiles *do* have a vfsmount but *don't* use the non-_len
  functions. They pass nop_mnt_idmap and refuse to work on filesystems
  which have any other idmap.

  This work changes nfsd and cachefile to use the lookup_one family of
  functions and to explictily pass &nop_mnt_idmap which is consistent
  with all other vfs interfaces used where &nop_mnt_idmap is explicitly
  passed.

  The remaining uses of the "_one" functions do not require permission
  checks so these are renamed to be "_noperm" and the permission
  checking is removed.

  This series also changes these lookup function to take a qstr instead
  of separate name and len. In many cases this simplifies the call"

netfs: Fix undifferentiation of DIO reads from unbuffered reads
On cifs, "DIO reads" (specified by O_DIRECT) need to be differentiated from
"unbuffered reads" (specified by cache=none in the mount parameters).  The
difference is flagged in the protocol and the server may behave
differently: Windows Server will, for example, mandate that DIO reads are
block aligned.

Fix this by adding a NETFS_UNBUFFERED_READ to differentiate this from
NETFS_DIO_READ, parallelling the write differentiation that already exists.
cifs will then do the right thing.

netfs: Fix the request's work item to not require a ref
When the netfs_io_request struct's work item is queued, it must be supplied
with a ref to the work item struct to prevent it being deallocated whilst
on the queue or whilst it is being processed.  This is tricky to manage as
we have to get a ref before we try and queue it and then we may find it's
already queued and is thus already holding a ref - in which case we have to
try and get rid of the ref again.

The problem comes if we're in BH or IRQ context and need to drop the ref:
if netfs_put_request() reduces the count to 0, we have to do the cleanup -
but the cleanup may need to wait.

Fix this by adding a new work item to the request, ->cleanup_work, and
dispatching that when the refcount hits zero.  That can then synchronously
cancel any outstanding work on the main work item before doing the cleanup.

Adding a new work item also deals with another problem upstream where it's
sometimes changing the work func in the put function and requeuing it -
which has occasionally in the past caused the cleanup to happen
incorrectly.

As a bonus, this allows us to get rid of the 'was_async' parameter from a
bunch of functions.  This indicated whether the put function might not be
permitted to sleep.

006ff7498f saner calling conventions for ->d_automount()
Currently the calling conventions for ->d_automount() instances have
an odd wart - returned new mount to be attached is expected to have
refcount 2.

That kludge is intended to make sure that mark_mounts_for_expiry() called
before we get around to attaching that new mount to the tree won't decide
to take it out.  finish_automount() drops the extra reference after it's
done with attaching mount to the tree - or drops the reference twice in
case of error.  ->d_automount() instances have rather counterintuitive
boilerplate in them.

There's a much simpler approach: have mark_mounts_for_expiry() skip the
mounts that are yet to be mounted.  And to hell with grabbing/dropping
those extra references.  Makes for simpler correctness analysis, at that...

5800b1cf3f rxrpc: Allow CHALLENGEs to the passed to the app for a RESPONSE
Allow the app to request that CHALLENGEs be passed to it through an
out-of-band queue that allows recvmsg() to pick it up so that the app can
add data to it with sendmsg().

This will allow the application (AFS or userspace) to interact with the
process if it wants to and put values into user-defined fields.  This will
be used by AFS when talking to a fileserver to supply that fileserver with
a crypto key by which callback RPCs can be encrypted (ie. notifications
from the fileserver to the client).

afs: Fix afs_dynroot_readdir() to not use the RCU read lock
afs_dynroot_readdir() uses the RCU read lock to walk the cell list whilst
emitting cell automount entries - but dir_emit() may write to a userspace
buffer, thereby causing a fault to occur and waits to happen.

Fix afs_dynroot_readdir() to get a shared lock on net->cells_lock instead.

This can be triggered by enabling lockdep, preconfiguring a number of
cells, doing "mount -t afs none /afs -o dyn" (or using the kafs-client
package with afs.mount systemd unit enabled) and then doing "ls /afs".

fa6fe07d15
VFS: rename lookup_one_len family to lookup_noperm and remove permission check
The lookup_one_len family of functions is (now) only used internally by
a filesystem on itself either
- in a context where permission checking is irrelevant such as by a
  virtual filesystem populating itself, or xfs accessing its ORPHANAGE
  or dquota accessing the quota file; or
- in a context where a permission check (MAY_EXEC on the parent) has just
  been performed such as a network filesystem finding in "silly-rename"
  file in the same directory.  This is also the context after the
  _parentat() functions where currently lookup_one_qstr_excl() is used.

So the permission check is pointless.

The name "one_len" is unhelpful in understanding the purpose of these
functions and should be changed.  Most of the callers pass the len as
"strlen()" so using a qstr and QSTR() can simplify the code.

This patch renames these functions (include lookup_positive_unlocked()
which is part of the family despite the name) to have a name based on
"lookup_noperm".  They are changed to receive a 'struct qstr' instead
of separate name and len.  In a few cases the use of QSTR() results in a
new call to strlen().

try_lookup_noperm() takes a pointer to a qstr instead of the whole
qstr.  This is consistent with d_hash_and_lookup() (which is nearly
identical) and useful for lookup_noperm_unlocked().

The new lookup_noperm_common() doesn't take a qstr yet.  That will be
tidied up in a subsequent patch.

     cells already configured and, further, pairs of automount points
     have to be created/removed each time a cell is added/deleted

     The current code was intended to make it such that a single timer
     for the namespace and one work item per cell could do all the work
     required to maintain these records. This, however, made for some
     sequencing problems when cleaning up these records. Further, the
     attempt to pass refs along with timers and work items made getting
     it right rather tricky when the timer or work item already had a

e2c2cb8ef0 afs: Simplify cell record handling
Simplify afs_cell record handling to avoid very occasional races that cause
module removal to hang (it waits for all cell records to be removed).

There are two things that particularly contribute to the difficulty:
firstly, the code tries to pass a ref on the cell to the cell's maintenance
work item (which gets awkward if the work item is already queued); and,
secondly, there's an overall cell manager that tries to use just one timer
for the entire cell collection (to avoid having loads of timers).  However,
both of these are probably unnecessarily restrictive.

To simplify this, the following changes are made:

 (1) The cell record collection manager is removed.  Each cell record
     manages itself individually.

 (2) Each afs_cell is given a second work item (cell->destroyer) that is
     queued when its refcount reaches zero.  This is not done in the
     context of the putting thread as it might be in an inconvenient place
     to sleep.

 (3) Each afs_cell is given its own timer.  The timer is used to expire the
     cell record after a period of unuse if not otherwise pinned and can
     also be used for other maintenance tasks if necessary (of which there
     are currently none as DNS refresh is triggered by filesystem
     operations).

 (4) The afs_cell manager work item (cell->manager) is no longer given a
     ref on the cell when queued; rather, the manager must be deleted.
     This does away with the need to deal with the consequences of losing a
     race to queue cell->manager.  Clean up of extra queuing is deferred to
     the destroyer.

 (5) The cell destroyer work item makes sure the cell timer is removed and
     that the normal cell work is cancelled before farming the actual
     destruction off to RCU.

 (6) When a network namespace is destroyed or the kafs module is unloaded,
     it's now a simple matter of marking the namespace as dead then just
     waking up all the cell work items.  They will then remove and destroy
     themselves once all remaining activity counts and/or a ref counts are
     dropped.  This makes sure that all server records are dropped first.

 (7) The cell record state set is reduced to just four states: SETTING_UP,
     ACTIVE, REMOVING and DEAD.  The record persists in the active state
     even when it's not being used until the time comes to remove it rather
     than downgrading it to an inactive state from whence it can be
     restored.

     This means that the cell still appears in /proc and /afs when not in
     use until it switches to the REMOVING state - at which point it is
     removed.

     Note that the REMOVING state is included so that someone wanting to
     resurrect the cell record is forced to wait whilst the cell is torn
     down in that state.  Once it's in the DEAD state, it has been removed
     from net->cells tree and is no longer findable and can be replaced.

4882ba7857 afs: Fix afs_server ref accounting
The current way that afs_server refs are accounted and cleaned up sometimes
cause rmmod to hang when it is waiting for cell records to be removed.  The
problem is that the cell cleanup might occasionally happen before the
server cleanup and then there's nothing that causes the cell to
garbage-collect the remaining servers as they become inactive.

Partially fix this by:

 (1) Give each afs_server record its own management timer that rather than
     relying on the cell manager's central timer to drive each individual
     cell's maintenance work item to garbage collect servers.

     This timer is set when afs_unuse_server() reduces a server's activity
     count to zero and will schedule the server's destroyer work item upon
     firing.

 (2) Give each afs_server record its own destroyer work item that removes
     the record from the cell's database, shuts down the timer, cancels any
     pending work for itself, sends an RPC to the server to cancel
     outstanding callbacks.

     This change, in combination with the timer, obviates the need to try
     and coordinate so closely between the cell record and a bunch of other
     server records to try and tear everything down in a coordinated
     fashion.  With this, the cell record is pinned until the server RCU is
     complete and namespace/module removal will wait until all the cell
     records are removed.

 (3) Now that incoming calls are mapped to servers (and thus cells) using
     data attached to an rxrpc_peer, the UUID-to-server mapping tree is
     moved from the namespace to the cell (cell->fs_servers).  This means
     there can no longer be duplicates therein - and that allows the
     mapping tree to be simpler as there doesn't need to be a chain of
     same-UUID servers that are in different cells.

 (4) The lock protecting the UUID mapping tree is switched to an
     rw_semaphore on the cell rather than a seqlock on the namespace as
     it's now only used during mounting in contexts in which we're allowed
     to sleep.

 (5) When it comes time for a cell that is being removed to purge its set
     of servers, it just needs to iterate over them and wake them up.  Once
     a server becomes inactive, its destroyer work item will observe the
     state of the cell and immediately remove that record.

 (6) When a server record is removed, it is marked AFS_SERVER_FL_EXPIRED to
     prevent reattempts at removal.  The record will be dispatched to RCU
     for destruction once its refcount reaches 0.

 (7) The AFS_SERVER_FL_UNCREATED/CREATING flags are used to synchronise
     simultaneous creation attempts.  If one attempt fails, it will abandon
     the attempt and allow another to try again.

     Note that the record can't just be abandoned when dead as it's bound
     into a server list attached to a volume and only subject to
     replacement if the server list obtained for the volume from the VLDB
     changes.

1d0b929fc0 afs: Change dynroot to create contents on demand
Change the AFS dynamic root to do things differently:

 (1) Rather than having the creation of cell records create inodes and
     dentries for cell mountpoints, create them on demand during lookup.

     This simplifies cell management and locking as we no longer have to
     create these objects in advance *and* on speculative lookup by the
     user for a cell that isn't precreated.

 (2) Rather than using the libfs dentry-based readdir (the dentries now no
     longer exist until accessed from (1)), have readdir generate the
     contents by reading the list of cells.  The @cell symlinks get pushed
     in positions 2 and 3 if rootcell has been configured.

 (3) Make the @cell symlink dentries persist for the life of the superblock
     or until reclaimed, but make cell mountpoints disappear immediately if
     unused.

     It's not perfect as someone doing an "ls -l /afs" may create a whole
     bunch of dentries which will be garbage collected immediately.  But
     any dentry that gets automounted will be pinned by the mount, so it
     shouldn't be too bad.

 (4) Allocate the inode numbers for the cell mountpoints from an IDR to
     prevent duplicates appearing in the event it cycles round.  The number
     allocated from the IDR is doubled to provide two inode numbers - one
     for the normal cell name (RO) and one for the dotted cell name (RW).

4c5ad63f85 afs: Remove the "autocell" mount option
Remove the "autocell" mount option.  It was an attempt to do automounting
of arbitrary cells based on what the user looked up but within the root
directory of a mounted volume.  This isn't really the right thing to do,
and using the "dyn" mount option to get the dynamic root is the right way
to do it.  The kafs-client package uses "-o dyn" when mounting /afs, so it
should be safe to drop "-o autocell".

823869e1e6 afs: Fix afs_atcell_get_link() to handle RCU pathwalk
The ->get_link() method may be entered under RCU pathwalk conditions (in
which case, the dentry pointer is NULL).  This is not taken account of by
afs_atcell_get_link() and lockdep will complain when it tries to lock an
rwsem.

Fix this by marking net->ws_cell as __rcu and using RCU access macros on it
and by making afs_atcell_get_link() just return a pointer to the name in
RCU pathwalk without taking net->cells_lock or a ref on the cell as RCU
will protect the name storage (the cell is already freed via call_rcu()).

Change inode_operations.mkdir to return struct dentry *
Some filesystems, such as NFS, cifs, ceph, and fuse, do not have
complete control of sequencing on the actual filesystem (e.g.  on a
different server) and may find that the inode created for a mkdir
request already exists in the icache and dcache by the time the mkdir
request returns.  For example, if the filesystem is mounted twice the
directory could be visible on the other mount before it is on the
original mount, and a pair of name_to_handle_at(), open_by_handle_at()
calls could instantiate the directory inode with an IS_ROOT() dentry
before the first mkdir returns.

This means that the dentry passed to ->mkdir() may not be the one that
is associated with the inode after the ->mkdir() completes.  Some
callers need to interact with the inode after the ->mkdir completes and
they currently need to perform a lookup in the (rare) case that the
dentry is no longer hashed.

This lookup-after-mkdir requires that the directory remains locked to
avoid races.  Planned future patches to lock the dentry rather than the
directory will mean that this lookup cannot be performed atomically with
the mkdir.

To remove this barrier, this patch changes ->mkdir to return the
resulting dentry if it is different from the one passed in.
Possible returns are:
  NULL - the directory was created and no other dentry was used
  ERR_PTR() - an error occurred
  non-NULL - this other dentry was spliced in

This patch only changes file-systems to return "ERR_PTR(err)" instead of
"err" or equivalent transformations.  Subsequent patches will make
further changes to some file-systems to return a correct dentry.

Not all filesystems reliably result in a positive hashed dentry:

- NFS, cifs, hostfs will sometimes need to perform a lookup of
  the name to get inode information.  Races could result in this
  returning something different. Note that this lookup is
  non-atomic which is what we are trying to avoid.  Placing the
  lookup in filesystem code means it only happens when the filesystem
  has no other option.
- kernfs and tracefs leave the dentry negative and the ->revalidate
  operation ensures that lookup will be called to correctly populate
  the dentry.  This could be fixed but I don't think it is important
  to any of the users of vfs_mkdir() which look at the dentry.

The recommendation to use
    d_drop();d_splice_alias()
is ugly but fits with current practice.  A planned future patch will
change this.

1f0fc3374f afs: Give an afs_server object a ref on the afs_cell object it points to
Give an afs_server object a ref on the afs_cell object it points to so that
the cell doesn't get deleted before the server record.

Whilst this is circular (cell -> vol -> server_list -> server -> cell), the
ref only pins the memory, not the lifetime as that's controlled by the
activity counter.  When the volume's activity counter reaches 0, it
detaches from the cell and discards its server list; when a cell's activity
counter reaches 0, it discards its root volume.  At that point, the
circularity is cut.

add117e48d afs: Fix the server_list to unuse a displaced server rather than putting it
When allocating and building an afs_server_list struct object from a VLDB
record, we look up each server address to get the server record for it -
but a server may have more than one entry in the record and we discard the
duplicate pointers.  Currently, however, when we discard, we only put a
server record, not unuse it - but the lookup got as an active-user count.

The active-user count on an afs_server_list object determines its lifetime
whereas the refcount keeps the memory backing it around.  Failing to reduce
the active-user counter prevents the record from being cleaned up and can
lead to multiple copied being seen - and pointing to deleted afs_cell
objects and other such things.

Fix this by switching the incorrect 'put' to an 'unuse' instead.

Without this, occasionally, a dead server record can be seen in
/proc/net/afs/servers and list corruption may be observed:

    list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff888102423e40, but was 0000000000000000. (prev=ffff88810140cd38)

5be1fa8abd Pass parent directory inode and expected name to ->d_revalidate()
->d_revalidate() often needs to access dentry parent and name; that has
to be done carefully, since the locking environment varies from caller
to caller.  We are not guaranteed that dentry in question will not be
moved right under us - not unless the filesystem is such that nothing
on it ever gets renamed.

It can be dealt with, but that results in boilerplate code that isn't
even needed - the callers normally have just found the dentry via dcache
lookup and want to verify that it's in the right place; they already
have the values of ->d_parent and ->d_name stable.  There is a couple
of exceptions (overlayfs and, to less extent, ecryptfs), but for the
majority of calls that song and dance is not needed at all.

It's easier to make ecryptfs and overlayfs find and pass those values if
there's a ->d_revalidate() instance to be called, rather than doing that
in the instances.

This commit only changes the calling conventions; making use of supplied
values is left to followups.

NOTE: some instances need more than just the parent - things like CIFS
may need to build an entire path from filesystem root, so they need
more precautions than the usual boilerplate.  This series doesn't
do anything to that need - these filesystems have to keep their locking
mechanisms (rename_lock loops, use of dentry_path_raw(), private rwsem
a-la v9fs).

One thing to keep in mind when using name is that name->name will normally
point into the pathname being resolved; the filename in question occupies
name->len bytes starting at name->name, and there is NUL somewhere after it,
but it the next byte might very well be '/' rather than '\0'.  Do not
ignore name->len.

Pull vfs netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains read performance improvements and support for monolithic
  single-blob objects that have to be read/written as such (e.g. AFS
  directory contents). The implementation of the two parts is interwoven
  as each makes the other possible.

   - Read performance improvements

     The read performance improvements are intended to speed up some
     loss of performance detected in cifs and to a lesser extend in afs.

     The problem is that we queue too many work items during the
     collection of read results: each individual subrequest is collected
     by its own work item, and then they have to interact with each
     other when a series of subrequests don't exactly align with the
     pattern of folios that are being read by the overall request.

     Whilst the processing of the pages covered by individual
     subrequests as they complete potentially allows folios to be woken
     in parallel and with minimum delay, it can shuffle wakeups for
     sequential reads out of order - and that is the most common I/O
     pattern.

     The final assessment and cleanup of an operation is then held up
     until the last I/O completes - and for a synchronous sequential
     operation, this means the bouncing around of work items just adds
     latency.

     Two changes have been made to make this work:

     (1) All collection is now done in a single "work item" that works
         progressively through the subrequests as they complete (and
         also dispatches retries as necessary).

     (2) For readahead and AIO, this work item be done on a workqueue
         and can run in parallel with the ultimate consumer of the data;
         for synchronous direct or unbuffered reads, the collection is
         run in the application thread and not offloaded.

     Functions such as smb2_readv_callback() then just tell netfslib
     that the subrequest has terminated; netfslib does a minimal bit of
     processing on the spot - stat counting and tracing mostly - and
     then queues/wakes up the worker. This simplifies the logic as the
     collector just walks sequentially through the subrequests as they
     complete and walks through the folios, if buffered, unlocking them
     as it goes. It also keeps to a minimum the amount of latency
     injected into the filesystem's low-level I/O handling

     The way netfs supports filesystems using the deprecated
     PG_private_2 flag is changed: folios are flagged and added to a
     write request as they complete and that takes care of scheduling
     the writes to the cache. The originating read request can then just
     unlock the pages whatever happens.

   - Single-blob object support

     Single-blob objects are files for which the content of the file
     must be read from or written to the server in a single operation
     because reading them in parts may yield inconsistent results. AFS
     directories are an example of this as there exists the possibility
     that the contents are generated on the fly and would differ between
     reads or might change due to third party interference.

     Such objects will be written to and retrieved from the cache if one
     is present, though we allow/may need to propose multiple
     subrequests to do so. The important part is that read from/write to
     the *server* is monolithic.

     Single blob reading is, for the moment, fully synchronous and does
     result collection in the application thread and, also for the
     moment, the API is supplied the buffer in the form of a folio_queue
     chain rather than using the pagecache.

   - Related afs changes

     This series makes a number of changes to the kafs filesystem,
     primarily in the area of directory handling:

      - AFS's FetchData RPC reply processing is made partially
        asynchronous which allows the netfs_io_request's outstanding
        operation counter to be removed as part of reducing the
        collection to a single work item.

      - Directory and symlink reading are plumbed through netfslib using
        the single-blob object API and are now cacheable with fscache.
        This also allows the afs_read struct to be eliminated and
        netfs_io_subrequest to be used directly instead.

      - Directory and symlink content are now stored in a folio_queue
        buffer rather than in the pagecache. This means we don't require
        the RCU read lock and xarray iteration to access it, and folios
        won't randomly disappear under us because the VM wants them
        back.

      - The vnode operation lock is changed from a mutex struct to a
        private lock implementation. The problem is that the lock now
        needs to be dropped in a separate thread and mutexes don't
        permit that.

      - When a new directory or symlink is created, we now initialise it
        locally and mark it valid rather than downloading it (we know
        what it's likely to look like).

      - We now use the in-directory hashtable to reduce the number of
        entries we need to scan when doing a lookup. The edit routines
        have to maintain the hash chains.

      - Cancellation (e.g. by signal) of an async call after the
        rxrpc_call has been set up is now offloaded to the worker thread
        as there will be a notification from rxrpc upon completion. This
        avoids a double cleanup.

   - A "rolling buffer" implementation is created to abstract out the
     two separate folio_queue chaining implementations I had (one for
     read and one for write).

   - Functions are provided to create/extend a buffer in a folio_queue
     chain and tear it down again.

     This is used to handle AFS directories, but could also be used to
     create bounce buffers for content crypto and transport crypto.

   - The was_async argument is dropped from netfs_read_subreq_terminated()

     Instead we wake the read collection work item by either queuing it
     or waking up the app thread.

   - We don't need to use BH-excluding locks when communicating between
     the issuing thread and the collection thread as neither of them now
     run in BH context.

   - Also included are a number of new tracepoints; a split of the
     netfslib write collection code to put retrying into its own file
     (it gets more complicated with content encryption).

   - There are also some minor fixes AFS included, including fixing the
     AFS directory format struct layout, reducing some directory
     over-invalidation and making afs_mkdir() translate EEXIST to
     ENOTEMPY (which is not available on all systems the servers
     support).

   - Finally, there's a patch to try and detect entry into the folio
     unlock function with no folio_queue structs in the buffer (which
     isn't allowed in the cases that can get there).

     This is a debugging patch, but should be minimal overhead"

afs: Fix merge preference rule failure condition
syzbot reported a lock held when returning to userspace[1].  This is
because if argc is less than 0 and the function returns directly, the held
inode lock is not released.

Fix this by store the error in ret and jump to done to clean up instead of
returning directly.

[dh: Modified Lizhi Xu's original patch to make it honour the error code
from afs_split_string()]

afs: Fix the maximum cell name length
The kafs filesystem limits the maximum length of a cell to 256 bytes, but a
problem occurs if someone actually does that: kafs tries to create a
directory under /proc/net/afs/ with the name of the cell, but that fails
with a warning:

        WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9 at fs/proc/generic.c:405

because procfs limits the maximum filename length to 255.

However, the DNS limits the maximum lookup length and, by extension, the
maximum cell name, to 255 less two (length count and trailing NUL).

Fix this by limiting the maximum acceptable cellname length to 253.  This
also allows us to be sure we can create the "/afs/.<cell>/" mountpoint too.

Further, split the YFS VL record cell name maximum to be the 256 allowed by
the protocol and ignore the record retrieved by YFSVL.GetCellName if it
exceeds 253.

Fixes: c3e9f88826 ("afs: Implement client support for the YFSVL.GetCellName RPC op")
