Fix the callback 9p passes to read_cache_page to actually have the
proper type expected. Casting around function pointers can easily
hide typing bugs, and defeats control flow protection.

kmemdup is introduced to duplicate a region of memory in a neat way.
Rather than kmalloc/kzalloc + memcpy, which the programmer needs to
write the size twice (sometimes lead to mistakes), kmemdup improves
readability, leads to smaller code and also reduce the chances of
mistakes.
Suggestion to use kmemdup rather than using kmalloc/kzalloc + memcpy.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.
Also, because there is no need to save the file dentry, remove all of
the variables that were being saved, and just recursively delete the
whole directory when shutting down, saving a lot of logic and local
variables.

ocfs2 file system uses locking_state file under debugfs to dump each
ocfs2 file system's dlm lock resources, but the users ever encountered
some hang(deadlock) problems in ocfs2 file system. I'd like to add
first lock wait time in locking_state file, which can help the upper
scripts detect these deadlock problems via comparing the first lock wait
time with the current time.

Add locking filter debugfs file, which is used to filter lock resources
dump from locking_state debugfs file. We use d_filter_secs field to
filter lock resources dump, the default d_filter_secs(0) value filters
nothing, otherwise, only dump the last N seconds active lock resources.
This enhancement can avoid dumping lots of old records. The
d_filter_secs value can be changed via locking_filter file.

ocfs2 file system uses locking_state file under debugfs to dump each
ocfs2 file system's dlm lock resources, but the dlm lock resources in
memory are becoming more and more after the files were touched by the
user. it will become a bit difficult to analyze these dlm lock resource
records in locking_state file by the upper scripts, though some files
are not active for now, which were accessed long time ago.
Then, I'd like to add last pr/ex unlock times in locking_state file for
each dlm lock resource record, the the upper scripts can use last unlock
time to filter inactive dlm lock resource record.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct dlm_migratable_lockres
{
...
struct dlm_migratable_lock ml[0]; // 16 bytes each, begins at byte 112
};
Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version in
order to avoid any potential type mistakes.
So, replace the following form:
sizeof(struct dlm_migratable_lockres) + (mres->num_locks * sizeof(struct dlm_migratable_lock))
with:
struct_size(mres, ml, mres->num_locks)
Notice that, in this case, variable sz is not necessary, hence it is
removed.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
"Highlights:
- Add a new /proc/fs/nfsd/clients/ directory which exposes some
long-requested information about NFSv4 clients (like open files)

- Replace the global duplicate reply cache by a cache per network
namespace; previously, a request in one network namespace could
incorrectly match an entry from another, though we haven't seen
this in production. This is the last remaining container bug that
I'm aware of; at this point you should be able to run separate
nfsd's in each network namespace, each with their own set of
exports, and everything should work.
- Cleanup and modify lock code to show the pid of lockd as the owner
of NLM locks. This is the correct version of the bugfix originally
attempted in b8eee0e90f97 ("lockd: Show pid of lockd for remote
locks")"

Pull copy_file_range updates from Darrick Wong:
"This fixes numerous parameter checking problems and inconsistent
behaviors in the new(ish) copy_file_range system call.
Now the system call will actually check its range parameters
correctly; refuse to copy into files for which the caller does not
have sufficient privileges; update mtime and strip setuid like file
writes are supposed to do; and allows copying up to the EOF of the
source file instead of failing the call like we used to.
Summary:
- Create a generic copy_file_range handler and make individual
filesystems responsible for calling it (i.e. no more assuming that
do_splice_direct will work or is appropriate)
- Refactor copy_file_range and remap_range parameter checking where
they are the same
- Install missing copy_file_range parameter checking(!)
- Remove suid/sgid and update mtime like any other file write
- Change the behavior so that a copy range crossing the source file's
eof will result in a short copy to the source file's eof instead of
EINVAL
- Permit filesystems to decide if they want to handle
cross-superblock copy_file_range in their local handlers"

This reverts merge 0f75ef6a9cff49ff612f7ce0578bced9d0b38325 (and thus
effectively commits
7a1ade847596 ("keys: Provide KEYCTL_GRANT_PERMISSION")
2e12256b9a76 ("keys: Replace uid/gid/perm permissions checking with an ACL")
that the merge brought in).
It turns out that it breaks booting with an encrypted volume, and Eric
biggers reports that it also breaks the fscrypt tests [1] and loading of
in-kernel X.509 certificates [2].
The root cause of all the breakage is likely the same, but David Howells
is off email so rather than try to work it out it's getting reverted in
order to not impact the rest of the merge window.

In some cases, using the 'truncate' command to extend a UDF file results
in a mismatch between the length of the file's extents (specifically, due
to incorrect length of the final NOT_ALLOCATED extent) and the information
(file) length. The discrepancy can prevent other operating systems
(i.e., Windows 10) from opening the file.
Two particular errors have been observed when extending a file:
1. The final extent is larger than it should be, having been rounded up
to a multiple of the block size.
B. The final extent is not shorter than it should be, due to not having
been updated when the file's information length was increased.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
"A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
task.
The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.
Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.
This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

Pull keyring ACL support from David Howells:
"This changes the permissions model used by keys and keyrings to be
based on an internal ACL by the following means:
- Replace the permissions mask internally with an ACL that contains a
list of ACEs, each with a specific subject with a permissions mask.
Potted default ACLs are available for new keys and keyrings.
ACE subjects can be macroised to indicate the UID and GID specified
on the key (which remain). Future commits will be able to add
additional subject types, such as specific UIDs or domain
tags/namespaces.
Also split a number of permissions to give finer control. Examples
include splitting the revocation permit from the change-attributes
permit, thereby allowing someone to be granted permission to revoke
a key without allowing them to change the owner; also the ability
to join a keyring is split from the ability to link to it, thereby
stopping a process accessing a keyring by joining it and thus
acquiring use of possessor permits.
- Provide a keyctl to allow the granting or denial of one or more
permits to a specific subject. Direct access to the ACL is not
granted, and the ACL cannot be viewed"

Pull keyring namespacing from David Howells:
"These patches help make keys and keyrings more namespace aware.
Firstly some miscellaneous patches to make the process easier:
- Simplify key index_key handling so that the word-sized chunks
assoc_array requires don't have to be shifted about, making it
easier to add more bits into the key.
- Cache the hash value in the key so that we don't have to calculate
on every key we examine during a search (it involves a bunch of
multiplications).
- Allow keying_search() to search non-recursively.
Then the main patches:
- Make it so that keyring names are per-user_namespace from the point
of view of KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING so that they're not
accessible cross-user_namespace.
keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEYRING_NAME for this.
- Move the user and user-session keyrings to the user_namespace
rather than the user_struct. This prevents them propagating
directly across user_namespaces boundaries (ie. the KEY_SPEC_*
flags will only pick from the current user_namespace).
- Make it possible to include the target namespace in which the key
shall operate in the index_key. This will allow the possibility of
multiple keys with the same description, but different target
domains to be held in the same keyring.
keyctl_capabilities() shows KEYCTL_CAPS1_NS_KEY_TAG for this.
- Make it so that keys are implicitly invalidated by removal of a
domain tag, causing them to be garbage collected.
- Institute a network namespace domain tag that allows keys to be
differentiated by the network namespace in which they operate. New
keys that are of a type marked 'KEY_TYPE_NET_DOMAIN' are assigned
the network domain in force when they are created.
- Make it so that the desired network namespace can be handed down
into the request_key() mechanism. This allows AFS, NFS, etc. to
request keys specific to the network namespace of the superblock.
This also means that the keys in the DNS record cache are
thenceforth namespaced, provided network filesystems pass the
appropriate network namespace down into dns_query().
For DNS, AFS and NFS are good, whilst CIFS and Ceph are not. Other
cache keyrings, such as idmapper keyrings, also need to set the
domain tag - for which they need access to the network namespace of
the superblock"

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle are:
- rwsem scalability improvements, phase #2, by Waiman Long, which are
rather impressive:
"On a 2-socket 40-core 80-thread Skylake system with 40 reader
and writer locking threads, the min/mean/max locking operations
done in a 5-second testing window before the patchset were:
40 readers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/1,808/1,810
40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 1,807/50,344/151,255
After the patchset, they became:

40 writers, Iterations Min/Mean/Max = 94,466/95,845/97,098"

it similar to qrwlock, including owner handoff for more fair
locking.
