Pull still more SPDX updates from Greg KH:
"Another round of SPDX updates for 5.2-rc6
Here is what I am guessing is going to be the last "big" SPDX update
for 5.2. It contains all of the remaining GPLv2 and GPLv2+ updates
that were "easy" to determine by pattern matching. The ones after this
are going to be a bit more difficult and the people on the spdx list
will be discussing them on a case-by-case basis now.
Another 5000+ files are fixed up, so our overall totals are:
Files checked: 64545
Files with SPDX: 45529
Compared to the 5.1 kernel which was:
Files checked: 63848
Files with SPDX: 22576
This is a huge improvement.
Also, we deleted another 20000 lines of boilerplate license crud,
always nice to see in a diffstat"

Generalize the helper ovl_open_maybe_copy_up() and use it to copy up file
with data before FS_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl.
The FS_IOC_SETFLAGS ioctl is a bit of an odd ball in vfs, which probably
caused the confusion. File may be open O_RDONLY, but ioctl modifies the
file. VFS does not call mnt_want_write_file() nor lock inode mutex, but
fs-specific code for FS_IOC_SETFLAGS does. So ovl_ioctl() calls
mnt_want_write_file() for the overlay file, and fs-specific code calls
mnt_want_write_file() for upper fs file, but there was no call for
ovl_want_write() for copy up duration which prevents overlayfs from copying
up on a frozen upper fs.

If a file has been copied up metadata only, and later data is copied up,
upper loses any security.capability xattr it has (underlying filesystem
clears it as upon file write).
From a user's point of view, this is just a file copy-up and that should
not result in losing security.capability xattr. Hence, before data copy
up, save security.capability xattr (if any) and restore it on upper after
data copy up is complete.

If a file with capability set (and hence security.capability xattr) is
written kernel clears security.capability xattr. For overlay, during file
copy up if xattrs are copied up first and then data is, copied up. This
means data copy up will result in clearing of security.capability xattr
file on lower has. And this can result into surprises. If a lower file has
CAP_SETUID, then it should not be cleared over copy up (if nothing was
actually written to file).
This also creates problems with chown logic where it first copies up file
and then tries to clear setuid bit. But by that time security.capability
xattr is already gone (due to data copy up), and caller gets -ENODATA.
This has been reported by Giuseppe here.

Pull vfs dedup fixes from Dave Chinner:
"This reworks the vfs data cloning infrastructure.
We discovered many issues with these interfaces late in the 4.19 cycle
- the worst of them (data corruption, setuid stripping) were fixed for
XFS in 4.19-rc8, but a larger rework of the infrastructure fixing all
the problems was needed. That rework is the contents of this pull
request.
Rework the vfs_clone_file_range and vfs_dedupe_file_range
infrastructure to use a common .remap_file_range method and supply
generic bounds and sanity checking functions that are shared with the
data write path. The current VFS infrastructure has problems with
rlimit, LFS file sizes, file time stamps, maximum filesystem file
sizes, stripping setuid bits, etc and so they are addressed in these
commits.
We also introduce the ability for the ->remap_file_range methods to
return short clones so that clones for vfs_copy_file_range() don't get
rejected if the entire range can't be cloned. It also allows
filesystems to sliently skip deduplication of partial EOF blocks if
they are not capable of doing so without requiring errors to be thrown
to userspace.
Existing filesystems are converted to user the new remap_file_range
method, and both XFS and ocfs2 are modified to make use of the new
generic checking infrastructure"

Change the remap_file_range functions to take a number of bytes to
operate upon and return the number of bytes they operated on. This is a
requirement for allowing fs implementations to return short clone/dedupe
results to the user, which will enable us to obey resource limits in a
graceful manner.
A subsequent patch will enable copy_file_range to signal to the
->clone_file_range implementation that it can handle a short length,
which will be returned in the function's return value. For now the
short return is not implemented anywhere so the behavior won't change --
either copy_file_range manages to clone the entire range or it tries an
alternative.
Neither clone ioctl can take advantage of this, alas.

In an attempt to dedup ~100 LOC, we ended up creating a tangled call chain,
whose branches merge and diverge in several points according to the
immutable c->tmpfile copy up mode.
This call chain was hard to analyse for locking correctness because the
locking requirements for the c->tmpfile flow were very different from the
locking requirements for the !c->tmpfile flow (i.e. directory vs. regulare
file copy up).
Split the copy up helpers of the c->tmpfile flow from those of the
!c->tmpfile (i.e. workdir) flow and remove the c->tmpfile mode from copy up
context.

Commit 031a072a0b8a ("vfs: call vfs_clone_file_range() under freeze
protection") created a wrapper do_clone_file_range() around
vfs_clone_file_range() moving the freeze protection to former, so
overlayfs could call the latter.
The more common vfs practice is to call do_xxx helpers from vfs_xxx
helpers, where freeze protecction is taken in the vfs_xxx helper, so
this anomality could be a source of confusion.
It seems that commit 8ede205541ff ("ovl: add reflink/copyfile/dedup
support") may have fallen a victim to this confusion -
ovl_clone_file_range() calls the vfs_clone_file_range() helper in the
hope of getting freeze protection on upper fs, but in fact results in
overlayfs allowing to bypass upper fs freeze protection.
Swap the names of the two helpers to conform to common vfs practice
and call the correct helpers from overlayfs and nfsd.

So far lower could not be a meta inode. So whenever it was time to copy up
data of a meta inode, we could copy it up from top most lower dentry.
But now lower itself can be a metacopy inode. That means data copy up
needs to take place from a data inode in metacopy inode chain. Find lower
data inode in the chain and use that for data copy up.
Introduced a helper called ovl_path_lowerdata() to find the lower data
inode chain.

Now we will have the capability to have upper inodes which might be only
metadata copy up and data is still on lower inode. So add a new xattr
OVL_XATTR_METACOPY to distinguish between two cases.
Presence of OVL_XATTR_METACOPY reflects that file has been copied up
metadata only and and data will be copied up later from lower origin. So
this xattr is set when a metadata copy takes place and cleared when data
copy takes place.
We also use a bit in ovl_inode->flags to cache OVL_UPPERDATA which reflects
whether ovl inode has data or not (as opposed to metadata only copy up).
If a file is copied up metadata only and later when same file is opened for
WRITE, then data copy up takes place. We copy up data, remove METACOPY
xattr and then set the UPPERDATA flag in ovl_inode->flags. While all these
operations happen with oi->lock held, read side of oi->flags can be
lockless. That is another thread on another cpu can check if UPPERDATA
flag is set or not.
So this gives us an ordering requirement w.r.t UPPERDATA flag. That is, if
another cpu sees UPPERDATA flag set, then it should be guaranteed that
effects of data copy up and remove xattr operations are also visible.
For example.
CPU1 CPU2
ovl_open() acquire(oi->lock)
ovl_open_maybe_copy_up() ovl_copy_up_data()
open_open_need_copy_up() vfs_removexattr()
ovl_already_copied_up()
ovl_dentry_needs_data_copy_up() ovl_set_flag(OVL_UPPERDATA)
ovl_test_flag(OVL_UPPERDATA) release(oi->lock)
Say CPU2 is copying up data and in the end sets UPPERDATA flag. But if
CPU1 perceives the effects of setting UPPERDATA flag but not the effects of
preceding operations (ex. upper that is not fully copied up), it will be a
problem.
Hence this patch introduces smp_wmb() on setting UPPERDATA flag operation
and smp_rmb() on UPPERDATA flag test operation.
May be some other lock or barrier is already covering it. But I am not sure
what that is and is it obvious enough that we will not break it in future.
So hence trying to be safe here and introducing barriers explicitly for
UPPERDATA flag/bit.

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

With inodes index enabled, an overlay inode nlink counts the union of upper
and non-covered lower hardlinks. During the lifetime of a non-pure upper
inode, the following nlink modifying operations can happen:
1. Lower hardlink copy up
2. Upper hardlink created, unlinked or renamed over
3. Lower hardlink whiteout or renamed over
For the first, copy up case, the union nlink does not change, whether the
operation succeeds or fails, but the upper inode nlink may change.
Therefore, before copy up, we store the union nlink value relative to the
lower inode nlink in the index inode xattr trusted.overlay.nlink.
For the second, upper hardlink case, the union nlink should be incremented
or decremented IFF the operation succeeds, aligned with nlink change of the
upper inode. Therefore, before link/unlink/rename, we store the union nlink
value relative to the upper inode nlink in the index inode.
For the last, lower cover up case, we simplify things by preceding the
whiteout or cover up with copy up. This makes sure that there is an index
upper inode where the nlink xattr can be stored before the copied up upper
entry is unlink.
Return the overlay inode nlinks for indexed upper inodes on stat(2).

Implement a copy up method for non-dir objects using index dir to
prevent breaking lower hardlinks on copy up.
This method requires that the inodes index dir feature was enabled and
that all underlying fs support file handle encoding/decoding.
On the first lower hardlink copy up, upper file is created in index dir,
named after the hex representation of the lower origin inode file handle.
On the second lower hardlink copy up, upper file is found in index dir,
by the same lower handle key.
On either case, the upper indexed inode is then linked to the copy up
upper path.
The index entry remains linked for future lower hardlink copy up and for
lower to upper inode map, that is needed for exporting overlayfs to NFS.

Move ovl_copy_up_start()/ovl_copy_up_end() out so that it's used for both
tempfile and workdir copy ups.

For rename, we need to ensure that an upper alias exists for hard links
before attempting the operation. Introduce a flag in ovl_entry to track
the state of the upper alias.

An index dir contains persistent hardlinks to files in upper dir.
Therefore, we must never mount an existing index dir with a differnt
upper dir.
Store the upper root dir file handle in index dir inode when index
dir is created and verify the file handle before using an existing
index dir on mount.
Add an 'is_upper' flag to the overlay file handle encoding and set it
when encoding the upper root file handle. This is not critical for index
dir verification, but it is good practice towards a standard overlayfs
file handle format for NFS export.

When inodes index feature is enabled, verify that the file handle stored
in upper root dir matches the lower root dir or fail to mount.
If upper root dir has no stored file handle, encode and store the lower
root dir file handle in overlay.origin xattr.
