Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

In tpm_set_next_event(delta), return -ETIME by wrong cast to int when delta
is larger than INT_MAX.
For example:
tpm_set_next_event(delta = 0xffff_fffe)
{
...
next = tpm_read_counter(); // assume next is 0x10
next += delta; // next will 0xffff_fffe + 0x10 = 0x1_0000_000e
now = tpm_read_counter(); // now is 0x10
...
return (int)(next - now) <= 0 ? -ETIME : 0;
^^^^^^^^^^
0x1_0000_000e - 0x10 = 0xffff_fffe, which is -2 when
cast to int. So return -ETIME.
}
To fix this, introduce a 'prev' variable and check if 'now - prev' is
larger than delta.

This change removes the percpu related code as no drivers is using it.

bcachefs: Fix bch2_extents_match() false positive
bcachefs: Fix failure to return error in data_update_index_update()
Under certain conditions, the range to be cleared by FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE
may only be buffered locally and not yet have been flushed to the server.
For example:
xfs_io -f -t -c "pwrite -S 0x41 0 4k" \
-c "pwrite -S 0x42 4k 4k" \
-c "fzero 0 4k" \
-c "pread -v 0 8k" /xfstest.test/foo
will write two 4KiB blocks of data, which get buffered in the pagecache,
and then fallocate() is used to clear the first 4KiB block on the server -
but we don't flush the data first, which means the EOF position on the
server is wrong, and so the FSCTL_SET_ZERO_DATA RPC fails (and xfs_io
ignores the error), but then when we try to read it, we see the old data.
Fix this by preflushing any part of the target region that above the
server's idea of the EOF position to force the server to update its EOF
position.
Note, however, that we don't want to simply expand the file by moving the
EOF before doing the FSCTL_SET_ZERO_DATA[*] because someone else might see
the zeroed region or if the RPC fails we then have to try to clean it up or
risk getting corruption.
[*] And we have to move the EOF first otherwise FSCTL_SET_ZERO_DATA won't
do what we want.
This fixes the generic/008 xfstest.
[!] Note: A better way to do this might be to split the operation into two
parts: we only do FSCTL_SET_ZERO_DATA for the part of the range below the
server's EOF and then, if that worked, invalidate the buffered pages for the
part above the range.

We had a report of data corruption on nixos when building installer
images.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/321055#issuecomment-2184131334
It seems that writes are being dropped, but only when issued by QEMU,
and possibly only in snapshot mode. It's undetermined if it's write
calls are being dropped or dirty folios.
Further testing, via minimizing the original patch to just the change
that skips the inode lock on non appends/truncates, reveals that it
really is just not taking the inode lock that causes the corruption: it
has nothing to do with the other logic changes for preserving write
atomicity in corner cases.
It's also kernel config dependent: it doesn't reproduce with the minimal
kernel config that ktest uses, but it does reproduce with nixos's distro
config. Bisection the kernel config initially pointer the finger at page
migration or compaction, but it appears that was erroneous; we haven't
yet determined what kernel config option actually triggers it.
Sadly it appears this will have to be reverted since we're getting too
close to release and my plate is full, but we'd _really_ like to fully
debug it.
My suspicion is that this patch is exposing a preexisting bug - the
inode lock actually covers very little in IO paths, and we have a
different lock (the pagecache add lock) that guards against races with
truncate here.

Short DIO reads, particularly in relation to cifs, are not being handled
correctly by cifs and netfslib. This can be tested by doing a DIO read of
a file where the size of read is larger than the size of the file. When it
crosses the EOF, it gets a short read and this gets retried, and in the
case of cifs, the retry read fails, with the failure being translated to
ENODATA.
Fix this by the following means:
(1) Add a flag, NETFS_SREQ_HIT_EOF, for the filesystem to set when it
detects that the read did hit the EOF.
(2) Make the netfslib read assessment stop processing subrequests when it
encounters one with that flag set.
(3) Return rreq->transferred, the accumulated contiguous amount read to
that point, to userspace for a DIO read.
(4) Make cifs set the flag and clear the error if the read RPC returned
ENODATA.
(5) Make cifs set the flag and clear the error if a short read occurred
without error and the read-to file position is now at the remote inode
size.
