Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"The highlights of this round are integrations with fs-verity and
idmapped mounts, the rest is usual mix of minor improvements, speedups
and cleanups.
There are some patches outside of btrfs, namely updating some VFS
interfaces, all straightforward and acked.
Features:
- fs-verity support, using standard ioctls, backward compatible with
read-only limitation on inodes with previously enabled fs-verity
- idmapped mount support
- make mount with rescue=ibadroots more tolerant to partially damaged
trees
- allow raid0 on a single device and raid10 on two devices,
degenerate cases but might be useful as an intermediate step during
conversion to other profiles
- zoned mode block group auto reclaim can be disabled via sysfs knob
Performance improvements:
- continue readahead of node siblings even if target node is in
memory, could speed up full send (on sample test +11%)
- batching of delayed items can speed up creating many files
- fsync/tree-log speedups
- avoid unnecessary work (gains +2% throughput, -2% run time on
sample load)
- reduced lock contention on renames (on dbench +4% throughput,
up to -30% latency)
Fixes:
- various zoned mode fixes
- preemptive flushing threshold tuning, avoid excessive work on
almost full filesystems
Core:
- continued subpage support, preparation for implementing remaining
features like compression and defragmentation; with some
limitations, write is now enabled on 64K page systems with 4K
sectors, still considered experimental
- no readahead on compressed reads
- inline extents disabled
- disabled raid56 profile conversion and mount
- improved flushing logic, fixing early ENOSPC on some workloads
- inode flags have been internally split to read-only and read-write
incompat bit parts, used by fs-verity
- new tree items for fs-verity
- descriptor item
- Merkle tree item
- inode operations extended to be namespace-aware
- cleanups and refactoring

In the reexport case, nfsd is currently passing along locks with the

if there's currently no conflict--even if it's possible a conflicting

We don't currently have any way to safely grant reclaim, so for now
let's just deny them all.
I'm doing this by passing the reclaim bit to nfs and letting it fail the
call, with the idea that eventually the client might be able to do
something more forgiving here.

Btrfs sometimes needs to flush dirty pages on a bunch of dirty inodes in
order to reclaim metadata reservations. Unfortunately most helpers in
this area are too smart for us:
1) The normal filemap_fdata* helpers only take range and sync modes, and
don't give any indication of how much was written, so we can only
flush full inodes, which isn't what we want in most cases.
2) The normal writeback path requires us to have the s_umount sem held,
but we can't unconditionally take it in this path because we could
deadlock.
3) The normal writeback path also skips inodes with I_SYNC set if we
write with WB_SYNC_NONE. This isn't the behavior we want under heavy
ENOSPC pressure, we want to actually make sure the pages are under
writeback before returning, and if another thread is in the middle of
writing the file we may return before they're under writeback and
miss our ordered extents and not properly wait for completion.
4) sync_inode() uses the normal writeback path and has the same problem
as #3.
What we really want is to call do_writepages() with our wbc. This way
we can make sure that writeback is actually started on the pages, and we
can control how many pages are written as a whole as we write many
inodes using the same wbc. Accomplish this with a new helper that does
just that so we can use it for our ENOSPC flushing infrastructure.

We added CONFIG_MANDATORY_FILE_LOCKING in 2015, and soon after turned it
off in Fedora and RHEL8. Several other distros have followed suit.
I've heard of one problem in all that time: Someone migrated from an
older distro that supported "-o mand" to one that didn't, and the host
had a fstab entry with "mand" in it which broke on reboot. They didn't
actually _use_ mandatory locking so they just removed the mount option
and moved on.
This patch rips out mandatory locking support wholesale from the kernel,
along with the Kconfig option and the Documentation file. It also
changes the mount code to ignore the "mand" mount option instead of
erroring out, and to throw a big, ugly warning.

Overlayfs does not cache ACL's (to avoid double caching). Instead it just
calls the underlying filesystem's i_op->get_acl(), which will return the
cached value, if possible.
In rcu path walk, however, get_cached_acl_rcu() is employed to get the
value from the cache, which will fail on overlayfs resulting in dropping
out of rcu walk mode. This can result in a big performance hit in certain
situations.
Fix by calling ->get_acl() with rcu=true in case of ACL_DONT_CACHE (which
indicates pass-through)

Move the permission checks in notify_change into a separate function to
make them available to filesystems.
When notify_change is called, the vfs performs those checks before
calling into iop->setattr. However, a filesystem like gfs2 can only
lock and revalidate the inode inside ->setattr, and it must then repeat
those checks to err on the safe side.
It would be nice to get rid of the double checking, but moving the
permission check into iop->setattr altogether isn't really an option.

Currently, serializing operations such as page fault, read, or readahead
against hole punching is rather difficult. The basic race scheme is
like:
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) read / fault / ..
truncate_inode_pages_range()
<create pages in page
cache here>
<update fs block mapping and free blocks>
Now the problem is in this way read / page fault / readahead can
instantiate pages in page cache with potentially stale data (if blocks
get quickly reused). Avoiding this race is not simple - page locks do
not work because we want to make sure there are *no* pages in given
range. inode->i_rwsem does not work because page fault happens under
mmap_sem which ranks below inode->i_rwsem. Also using it for reads makes
the performance for mixed read-write workloads suffer.
So create a new rw_semaphore in the address_space - invalidate_lock -
that protects adding of pages to page cache for page faults / reads /
readahead.

Patch series "Improve IOCB_NOWAIT O_DIRECT reads", v3.
An internal workload complained because it was using too much CPU, and
when I took a look, we had a lot of io_uring workers going to town.
For an async buffered read like workload, I am normally expecting _zero_
offloads to a worker thread, but this one had tons of them. I'd drop
caches and things would look good again, but then a minute later we'd
regress back to using workers. Turns out that every minute something
was reading parts of the device, which would add page cache for that
inode. I put patches like these in for our kernel, and the problem was
solved.
Don't -EAGAIN IOCB_NOWAIT dio reads just because we have page cache
entries for the given range. This causes unnecessary work from the
callers side, when the IO could have been issued totally fine without
blocking on writeback when there is none.
This patch (of 3):
For O_DIRECT reads/writes, we check if we need to issue a call to
filemap_write_and_wait_range() to issue and/or wait for writeback for any
page in the given range. The existing mechanism just checks for a page in
the range, which is suboptimal for IOCB_NOWAIT as we'll fallback to the
slow path (and needing retry) if there's just a clean page cache page in
the range.
Provide filemap_range_needs_writeback() which tries a little harder to
check if we actually need to issue and/or wait for writeback in the range.

Pull network filesystem helper library updates from David Howells:
"Here's a set of patches for 5.13 to begin the process of overhauling
the local caching API for network filesystems. This set consists of
two parts:
(1) Add a helper library to handle the new VM readahead interface.
This is intended to be used unconditionally by the filesystem
(whether or not caching is enabled) and provides a common
framework for doing caching, transparent huge pages and, in the
future, possibly fscrypt and read bandwidth maximisation. It also
allows the netfs and the cache to align, expand and slice up a
read request from the VM in various ways; the netfs need only
provide a function to read a stretch of data to the pagecache and
the helper takes care of the rest.
(2) Add an alternative fscache/cachfiles I/O API that uses the kiocb
facility to do async DIO to transfer data to/from the netfs's
pages, rather than using readpage with wait queue snooping on one
side and vfs_write() on the other. It also uses less memory, since
it doesn't do buffered I/O on the backing file.
Note that this uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to locate the data
available to be read from the cache. Whilst this is an improvement
from the bmap interface, it still has a problem with regard to a
modern extent-based filesystem inserting or removing bridging
blocks of zeros. Fixing that requires a much greater overhaul.
This is a step towards overhauling the fscache API. The change is
opt-in on the part of the network filesystem. A netfs should not try
to mix the old and the new API because of conflicting ways of handling
pages and the PG_fscache page flag and because it would be mixing DIO
with buffered I/O. Further, the helper library can't be used with the
old API.
This does not change any of the fscache cookie handling APIs or the
way invalidation is done at this time.
In the near term, I intend to deprecate and remove the old I/O API
(fscache_allocate_page{,s}(), fscache_read_or_alloc_page{,s}(),
fscache_write_page() and fscache_uncache_page()) and eventually
replace most of fscache/cachefiles with something simpler and easier
to follow.
This patchset contains the following parts:
- Some helper patches, including provision of an ITER_XARRAY iov
iterator and a function to do readahead expansion.
- Patches to add the netfs helper library.
- A patch to add the fscache/cachefiles kiocb API.
- A pair of patches to fix some review issues in the ITER_XARRAY and
read helpers as spotted by Al and Willy.
Jeff Layton has patches to add support in Ceph for this that he
intends for this merge window. I have a set of patches to support AFS
that I will post a separate pull request for.
With this, AFS without a cache passes all expected xfstests; with a
cache, there's an extra failure, but that's also there before these
patches. Fixing that probably requires a greater overhaul. Ceph also
passes the expected tests.
I also have patches in a separate branch to tidy up the handling of
PG_fscache/PG_private_2 and their contribution to page refcounting in
the core kernel here, but I haven't included them in this set and will
route them separately"
