"This improves the stable directory offset behavior in various ways.
Stable offsets are needed so that NFS can reliably read directories on
filesystems such as tmpfs:
- Improve the end-of-directory detection
According to getdents(3), the d_off field in each returned
directory entry points to the next entry in the directory. The
d_off field in the last returned entry in the readdir buffer must
contain a valid offset value, but if it points to an actual
directory entry, then readdir/getdents can loop.
Introduce a specific fixed offset value that is placed in the d_off
field of the last entry in a directory. Some user space
applications assume that the EOD offset value is larger than the
offsets of real directory entries, so the largest valid offset
value is reserved for this purpose. This new value is never
allocated by simple_offset_add().
When ->iterate_dir() returns, getdents{64} inserts the ctx->pos
value into the d_off field of the last valid entry in the readdir
buffer. When it hits EOD, offset_readdir() sets ctx->pos to the EOD
offset value so the last entry is updated to point to the EOD
marker.
When trying to read the entry at the EOD offset, offset_readdir()
terminates immediately.
- Rely on d_children to iterate stable offset directories
Instead of using the mtree to emit entries in the order of their
offset values, use it only to map incoming ctx->pos to a starting
entry. Then use the directory's d_children list, which is already
maintained properly by the dcache, to find the next child to emit.
- Narrow the range of directory offset values returned by
simple_offset_add() to 3 .. (S32_MAX - 1) on all platforms. This
means the allocation behavior is identical on 32-bit systems,
64-bit systems, and 32-bit user space on 64-bit kernels. The new
range still permits over 2 billion concurrent entries per
directory.
- Return ENOSPC when the directory offset range is exhausted. Hitting
this error is almost impossible though.
- Remove the simple_offset_empty() helper"

"Features:
- Support caching symlink lengths in inodes
The size is stored in a new union utilizing the same space as
i_devices, thus avoiding growing the struct or taking up any more

When utilized it dodges strlen() in vfs_readlink(), giving about
1.5% speed up when issuing readlink on /initrd.img on ext4
- Add RWF_DONTCACHE iocb and FOP_DONTCACHE file_operations flag
If a file system supports uncached buffered IO, it may set

simple_empty() and simple_offset_empty() perform the same task.
The latter's use as a canary to find bugs has not found any new
issues. A subsequent patch will remove the use of the mtree for
iterating directory contents, so revert back to using a similar
mechanism for determining whether a directory is indeed empty.
Only one such mechanism is ever needed.

Pull tmpfs case folding updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds case-insensitive support for tmpfs.
The work contained in here adds support for case-insensitive file
names lookups in tmpfs. The main difference from other casefold
filesystems is that tmpfs has no information on disk, just on RAM, so
we can't use mkfs to create a case-insensitive tmpfs. For this
implementation, there's a mount option for casefolding. The rest of
the patchset follows a similar approach as ext4 and f2fs.
The use case for this feature is similar to the use case for ext4, to
better support compatibility layers (like Wine), particularly in
combination with sandboxing/container tools (like Flatpak).
Those containerization tools can share a subset of the host filesystem
with an application. In the container, the root directory and any
parent directories required for a shared directory are on tmpfs, with
the shared directories bind-mounted into the container's view of the
filesystem.
If the host filesystem is using case-insensitive directories, then the
application can do lookups inside those directories in a
case-insensitive way, without this needing to be implemented in
user-space. However, if the host is only sharing a subset of a
case-insensitive directory with the application, then the parent
directories of the mount point will be part of the container's root
tmpfs. When the application tries to do case-insensitive lookups of
those parent directories on a case-sensitive tmpfs, the lookup will
fail"

Pull vfs multigrain timestamps from Christian Brauner:
"This is another try at implementing multigrain timestamps. This time
with significant help from the timekeeping maintainers to reduce the
performance impact.
Thomas provided a base branch that contains the required timekeeping
interfaces for the VFS. It serves as the base for the multi-grain
timestamp work:
- Multigrain timestamps allow the kernel to use fine-grained
timestamps when an inode's attributes is being actively observed
via ->getattr(). With this support, it's possible for a file to get
a fine-grained timestamp, and another modified after it to get a
coarse-grained stamp that is earlier than the fine-grained time. If
this happens then the files can appear to have been modified in
reverse order, which breaks VFS ordering guarantees.
To prevent this, a floor value is maintained for multigrain
timestamps. Whenever a fine-grained timestamp is handed out, record
it, and when later coarse-grained stamps are handed out, ensure
they are not earlier than that value. If the coarse-grained
timestamp is earlier than the fine-grained floor, return the floor
value instead.
The timekeeper changes add a static singleton atomic64_t into
timekeeper.c that is used to keep track of the latest fine-grained
time ever handed out. This is tracked as a monotonic ktime_t value
to ensure that it isn't affected by clock jumps. Because it is
updated at different times than the rest of the timekeeper object,
the floor value is managed independently of the timekeeper via a
cmpxchg() operation, and sits on its own cacheline.
Two new public timekeeper interfaces are added:
(1) ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64_mg() fills a timespec64 with the
later of the coarse-grained clock and the floor time
(2) ktime_get_real_ts64_mg() gets the fine-grained clock value,
and tries to swap it into the floor. A timespec64 is filled
with the result.
- The VFS has always used coarse-grained timestamps when updating the
ctime and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing
filesystems to optimize away a lot metadata updates, down to around
1 per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting
via NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of
changes can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to
help the client decide when to invalidate the cache. Even with
NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support a
change attribute and are subject to the same problems with
timestamp granularity. Other applications have similar issues with
timestamps (e.g backup applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would
improve the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the
underlying filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata
updates.
This adds a way to only use fine-grained timestamps when they are
being actively queried. Use the (unused) top bit in
inode->i_ctime_nsec as a flag that indicates whether the current
timestamps have been queried via stat() or the like. When it's set,
we allow the kernel to use a fine-grained timestamp iff it's
necessary to make the ctime show a different value.
This solves the problem of being able to distinguish the timestamp
between updates, but introduces a new problem: it's now possible
for a file being changed to get a fine-grained timestamp. A file
that is altered just a bit later can then get a coarse-grained one
that appears older than the earlier fine-grained time. This
violates timestamp ordering guarantees.
This is where the earlier mentioned timkeeping interfaces help. A
global monotonic atomic64_t value is kept that acts as a timestamp
floor. When we go to stamp a file, we first get the latter of the
current floor value and the current coarse-grained time. If the
inode ctime hasn't been queried then we just attempt to stamp it
with that value.
If it has been queried, then first see whether the current coarse
time is later than the existing ctime. If it is, then we accept
that value. If it isn't, then we get a fine-grained time and try to
swap that into the global floor. Whether that succeeds or fails, we
take the resulting floor time, convert it to realtime and try to
swap that into the ctime.
We take the result of the ctime swap whether it succeeds or fails,
since either is just as valid.
Filesystems can opt into this by setting the FS_MGTIME fstype flag.
Others should be unaffected (other than being subject to the same
floor value as multigrain filesystems)"

Add the ``thp_shmem=`` kernel command line to allow specifying the default
policy of each supported shmem hugepage size. The kernel parameter
accepts the following format:
thp_shmem=<size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<policy>;<size>[KMG]-<size>[KMG]:<policy>
For example,
thp_shmem=16K-64K:always;128K,512K:inherit;256K:advise;1M-2M:never;4M-8M:within_size
Some GPUs may benefit from using huge pages. Since DRM GEM uses shmem to
allocate anonymous pageable memory, it's essential to control the huge
page allocation policy for the internal shmem mount. This control can be
achieved through the ``transparent_hugepage_shmem=`` parameter.
Beyond just setting the allocation policy, it's crucial to have granular
control over the size of huge pages that can be allocated. The GPU may
support only specific huge page sizes, and allocating pages larger/smaller
than those sizes would be ineffective.

Patch series "mm: add more kernel parameters to control mTHP", v5.
This series introduces four patches related to the kernel parameters
controlling mTHP and a fifth patch replacing `strcpy()` for `strscpy()` in
the file `mm/huge_memory.c`.
The first patch is a straightforward documentation update, correcting the
format of the kernel parameter ``thp_anon=``.
The second, third, and fourth patches focus on controlling THP support for
shmem via the kernel command line. The second patch introduces a
parameter to control the global default huge page allocation policy for
the internal shmem mount. The third patch moves a piece of code to a
shared header to ease the implementation of the fourth patch. Finally,
the fourth patch implements a parameter similar to ``thp_anon=``, but for
shmem.
The goal of these changes is to simplify the configuration of systems that
rely on mTHP support for shmem. For instance, a platform with a GPU that
benefits from huge pages may want to enable huge pages for shmem. Having
these kernel parameters streamlines the configuration process and ensures
consistency across setups.
This patch (of 4):
Add a new kernel command line to control the hugepage allocation policy
for the internal shmem mount, ``transparent_hugepage_shmem``. The
parameter is similar to ``transparent_hugepage`` and has the following
format:
transparent_hugepage_shmem=<policy>
where ``<policy>`` is one of the seven valid policies available for
shmem.
Configuring the default huge page allocation policy for the internal
shmem mount can be beneficial for DRM GPU drivers. Just as CPU
architectures, GPUs can also take advantage of huge pages, but this is
possible only if DRM GEM objects are backed by huge pages.
Since GEM uses shmem to allocate anonymous pageable memory, having control
over the default huge page allocation policy allows for the exploration of
huge pages use on GPUs that rely on GEM objects backed by shmem.

tmpfs already supports PMD-sized large folios, but the tmpfs read
operation still performs copying at PAGE_SIZE granularity, which is
unreasonable. This patch changes tmpfs to copy data at folio granularity,
which can improve the read performance, as well as changing to use folio
related functions.
Moreover, if a large folio has a subpage that is hwpoisoned, it will
still fall back to page granularity copying.
Use 'fio bs=64k' to read a 1G tmpfs file populated with 2M THPs, and I can
see about 20% performance improvement, and no regression with bs=4k.

tmpfs can support large folios, but there are some configurable options
(mount options and runtime deny/force) to enable/disable large folio
allocation, so there is a performance issue when performing writes without
large folios. The issue is similar to commit 4e527d5841 ("iomap: fault

Since 'deny' is for emergencies and 'force' is for testing, performance
issues should not be a problem in real production environments, so don't
call mapping_set_large_folios() in __shmem_get_inode() when large folio is
disabled with mount huge=never option (default policy).

Currently MTE is permitted in two circumstances (desiring to use MTE
having been specified by the VM_MTE flag) - where MAP_ANONYMOUS is
specified, as checked by arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() and actualised by
setting the VM_MTE_ALLOWED flag, or if the file backing the mapping is
shmem, in which case we set VM_MTE_ALLOWED in shmem_mmap() when the mmap
hook is activated in mmap_region().
The function that checks that, if VM_MTE is set, VM_MTE_ALLOWED is also
set is the arm64 implementation of arch_validate_flags().
Unfortunately, we intend to refactor mmap_region() to perform this check
earlier, meaning that in the case of a shmem backing we will not have
invoked shmem_mmap() yet, causing the mapping to fail spuriously.
It is inappropriate to set this architecture-specific flag in general mm
code anyway, so a sensible resolution of this issue is to instead move the
check somewhere else.
We resolve this by setting VM_MTE_ALLOWED much earlier in do_mmap(), via
the arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() call.
This is an appropriate place to do this as we already check for the
MAP_ANONYMOUS case here, and the shmem file case is simply a variant of
the same idea - we permit RAM-backed memory.
This requires a modification to the arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() signature to
pass in a pointer to the struct file associated with the mapping, however
this is not too egregious as this is only used by two architectures anyway
- arm64 and parisc.
So this patch performs this adjustment and removes the unnecessary
assignment of VM_MTE_ALLOWED in shmem_mmap().

When calling generic_fillattr(), if you don't hold read lock, data-race
will occur in inode member variables, which can cause unexpected
behavior.
Since there is no special protection when shmem_getattr() calls
generic_fillattr(), data-race occurs by functions such as shmem_unlink()
or shmem_mknod(). This can cause unexpected results, so commenting it out
is not enough.
Therefore, when calling generic_fillattr() from shmem_getattr(), it is
appropriate to protect the inode using inode_lock_shared() and
inode_unlock_shared() to prevent data-race.

Enable casefold lookup in tmpfs, based on the encoding defined by
userspace. That means that instead of comparing byte per byte a file
name, it compares to a case-insensitive equivalent of the Unicode
string.
* Dcache handling
There's a special need when dealing with case-insensitive dentries.
First of all, we currently invalidated every negative casefold dentries.
That happens because currently VFS code has no proper support to deal
with that, giving that it could incorrectly reuse a previous filename
for a new file that has a casefold match. For instance, this could
happen:
$ mkdir DIR
$ rm -r DIR
$ mkdir dir
$ ls
DIR/
And would be perceived as inconsistency from userspace point of view,
because even that we match files in a case-insensitive manner, we still
honor whatever is the initial filename.
Along with that, tmpfs stores only the first equivalent name dentry used
in the dcache, preventing duplications of dentries in the dcache. The
d_compare() version for casefold files uses a normalized string, so the
filename under lookup will be compared to another normalized string for
the existing file, achieving a casefolded lookup.
* Enabling casefold via mount options
Most filesystems have their data stored in disk, so casefold option need
to be enabled when building a filesystem on a device (via mkfs).
However, as tmpfs is a RAM backed filesystem, there's no disk
information and thus no mkfs to store information about casefold.
For tmpfs, create casefold options for mounting. Userspace can then
enable casefold support for a mount point using:
$ mount -t tmpfs -o casefold=utf8-12.1.0 fs_name mount_dir/
Userspace must set what Unicode standard is aiming to. The available
options depends on what the kernel Unicode subsystem supports.
And for strict encoding:
$ mount -t tmpfs -o casefold=utf8-12.1.0,strict_encoding fs_name mount_dir/
Strict encoding means that tmpfs will refuse to create invalid UTF-8
sequences. When this option is not enabled, any invalid sequence will be
treated as an opaque byte sequence, ignoring the encoding thus not being
able to be looked up in a case-insensitive way.
* Check for casefold dirs on simple_lookup()
On simple_lookup(), do not create dentries for casefold directories.
Currently, VFS does not support case-insensitive negative dentries and
can create inconsistencies in the filesystem. Prevent such dentries to
being created in the first place.

Patch series "mm: don't install PMD mappings when THPs are disabled by the
hw/process/vma".
During testing, it was found that we can get PMD mappings in processes
where THP (and more precisely, PMD mappings) are supposed to be disabled.
While it works as expected for anon+shmem, the pagecache is the
problematic bit.
For s390 KVM this currently means that a VM backed by a file located on
filesystem with large folio support can crash when KVM tries accessing the
problematic page, because the readahead logic might decide to use a
PMD-sized THP and faulting it into the page tables will install a PMD
mapping, something that s390 KVM cannot tolerate.
This might also be a problem with HW that does not support PMD mappings,
but I did not try reproducing it.
Fix it by respecting the ways to disable THPs when deciding whether we can
install a PMD mapping. khugepaged should already be taking care of not
collapsing if THPs are effectively disabled for the hw/process/vma.
This patch (of 2):
Add vma_thp_disabled() and thp_disabled_by_hw() helpers to be shared by
shmem_allowable_huge_orders() and __thp_vma_allowable_orders().

Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> says:
The VFS has always used coarse-grained timestamps when updating the
ctime and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing
filesystems to optimize away a lot metadata updates, down to around 1
per jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide when to invalidate the cache. Even with NFSv4, a lot of
exported filesystems don't properly support a change attribute and are
subject to the same problems with timestamp granularity. Other
applications have similar issues with timestamps (e.g backup
applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve the
situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.
What we need is a way to only use fine-grained timestamps when they are
being actively queried. Use the (unused) top bit in inode->i_ctime_nsec
as a flag that indicates whether the current timestamps have been
queried via stat() or the like. When it's set, we allow the kernel to
use a fine-grained timestamp iff it's necessary to make the ctime show
a different value.
This solves the problem of being able to distinguish the timestamp
between updates, but introduces a new problem: it's now possible for a
file being changed to get a fine-grained timestamp. A file that is
altered just a bit later can then get a coarse-grained one that appears
older than the earlier fine-grained time. This violates timestamp
ordering guarantees.
To remedy this, keep a global monotonic atomic64_t value that acts as a
timestamp floor. When we go to stamp a file, we first get the latter of
the current floor value and the current coarse-grained time. If the
inode ctime hasn't been queried then we just attempt to stamp it with
that value.
If it has been queried, then first see whether the current coarse time
is later than the existing ctime. If it is, then we accept that value.
If it isn't, then we get a fine-grained time and try to swap that into
the global floor. Whether that succeeds or fails, we take the resulting
floor time, convert it to realtime and try to swap that into the ctime.
We take the result of the ctime swap whether it succeeds or fails, since
either is just as valid.
Filesystems can opt into this by setting the FS_MGTIME fstype flag.
Others should be unaffected (other than being subject to the same floor
value as multigrain filesystems).

performance with huge=within_size now matches that of huge=always.

Although shmem_get_folio_gfp() is correctly putting inodes on the
shrinklist according to the folio size, shmem_unused_huge_shrink() was
still dealing with that shrinklist in terms of HPAGE_PMD_SIZE.
Generalize that; and to handle the mixture of sizes more sensibly,
shmem_alloc_and_add_folio() give it a number of pages to be freed
(approximate: no need to minimize that with an exact calculation) instead
of a number of inodes to split.

There has been a long-standing and very minor off-by-one, where
shmem_get_folio_gfp() decides if a large folio extends beyond i_size far
enough to leave a page or more for freeing later under pressure.
This is not something needed for stable: but it will be proportionately
more significant as support for smaller large folios is added, and is best
fixed before duplicating the check in other places.
