Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro:
"Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to
pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing
those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually
_stored_ anywhere.
That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we
have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an
unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the
reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that
removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).
Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag
(DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set
claims responsibility for +1 in refcount.
The end result this series is aiming for:
- get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives
that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear
persistency flag.
- instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the
remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't
been removed prior to umount), have the regular
shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries,
dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that
kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super().
Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many
places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.
This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary
pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting
to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
to it.
Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
that stuff is here"

The types around kmsg_bytes were inconsistent. The global was unsigned
long, the argument to pstore_set_kmsg_bytes() was int, and the filesystem
option was u32. Given other internal limits, there's not much sense
in making a single pstore record larger than INT_MAX and it can't be
negative, so use u32 everywhere. Additionally, use READ/WRITE_ONCE and a
local variable in pstore_dump() to avoid kmsg_bytes changing during a
dump.

The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping. Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:
/*
* .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
* New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
* converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
*/
This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.
I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.
Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result. No more unnecessary conversion noise.

addr of zone2 = BASE + zone_size*2

The address of zone1/3/5/7 will be mapped to non-alignment va.
Eventually crashes will occur when accessing these va.

pstore: Base compression input buffer size on estimated compressed size
Commit 1756ddea69 ("pstore: Remove worst-case compression size logic")
removed some clunky per-algorithm worst case size estimation routines on
the basis that we can always store pstore records uncompressed, and
these worst case estimations are about how much the size might
inadvertently *increase* due to encapsulation overhead when the input
cannot be compressed at all. So if compression results in a size
increase, we just store the original data instead.
However, it seems that the original code was misinterpreting these
calculations as an estimation of how much uncompressed data might fit
into a compressed buffer of a given size, and it was using the results
to consume the input data in larger chunks than the pstore record size,
relying on the compression to ensure that what ultimately gets stored
fits into the available space.
One result of this, as observed and reported by Linus, is that upgrading
to a newer kernel that includes the given commit may result in pstore
decompression errors reported in the kernel log. This is due to the fact
that the existing records may unexpectedly decompress to a size that is
larger than the pstore record size.
Another potential problem caused by this change is that we may
underutilize the fixed sized records on pstore backends such as ramoops.
And on pstore backends with variable sized records such as EFI, we will
end up creating many more entries than before to store the same amount
of compressed data.
So let's fix both issues, by bringing back the typical case estimation of
how much ASCII text captured from the dmesg log might fit into a pstore
record of a given size after compression. The original implementation
used the computation given below for zlib:
switch (size) {
/* buffer range for efivars */
case 1000 ... 2000:
cmpr = 56;
break;
case 2001 ... 3000:
cmpr = 54;
break;
case 3001 ... 3999:
cmpr = 52;
break;
/* buffer range for nvram, erst */
case 4000 ... 10000:
cmpr = 45;
break;
default:
cmpr = 60;
break;
}
return (size * 100) / cmpr;
We will use the previous worst-case of 60% for compression. For
decompression go extra large (3x) so we make sure there's enough space
for anything.
While at it, rate limit the error message so we don't flood the log
unnecessarily on systems that have accumulated a lot of pstore history.

Currently pstore record buffers are allocated using kmalloc() which has
a maximum size based on page size. If a large "pmsg-size" module
parameter is specified, pmsg will fail to copy the contents since
memdup_user() is limited to kmalloc() allocation sizes.
Since we don't need physically contiguous memory for any of the pstore
record buffers, use kvzalloc() to avoid such limitations in the core of
pstore and in the ram backend, and explicitly read from userspace using
vmemdup_user(). This also means that any other backends that want to
(or do already) support larger record sizes will Just Work now.

After commit 30696378f6 ("pstore/ram: Do not treat empty buffers as
valid"), initialization would assume a prz was valid after seeing that
the buffer_size is zero (regardless of the buffer start position). This
unchecked start value means it could be outside the bounds of the buffer,
leading to future access panics when written to:
sysdump_panic_event+0x3b4/0x5b8
atomic_notifier_call_chain+0x54/0x90
panic+0x1c8/0x42c
die+0x29c/0x2a8
die_kernel_fault+0x68/0x78
__do_kernel_fault+0x1c4/0x1e0
do_bad_area+0x40/0x100
do_translation_fault+0x68/0x80
do_mem_abort+0x68/0xf8
el1_da+0x1c/0xc0
__raw_writeb+0x38/0x174
__memcpy_toio+0x40/0xac
persistent_ram_update+0x44/0x12c
persistent_ram_write+0x1a8/0x1b8
ramoops_pstore_write+0x198/0x1e8
pstore_console_write+0x94/0xe0
...
To avoid this, also check if the prz start is 0 during the initialization
phase. If not, the next prz sanity check case will discover it (start >
size) and zap the buffer back to a sane state.

[kees: update commit log with backtrace and clarifications]

Pstore supports compression using a variety of algorithms exposed by the
crypto API. This uses the deprecated comp (as opposed to scomp/acomp)
API, and so we should stop using that, and either move to the new API,
or switch to a different approach entirely.
Given that we only compress ASCII text in pstore, and considering that
this happens when the system is likely to be in an unstable state, the
flexibility that the complex crypto API provides does not outweigh its
impact on the risk that we might encounter additional problems when
trying to commit the kernel log contents to the pstore backend.
So let's switch [back] to the zlib deflate library API, and remove all
the complexity that really has no place in a low-level diagnostic
facility. Note that, while more modern compression algorithms have been
added to the kernel in recent years, the code size of zlib deflate is
substantially smaller than, e.g., zstd, while its performance in terms
of compression ratio is comparable for ASCII text, and speed is deemed
irrelevant in this context.
Note that this means that compressed pstore records may no longer be
accessible after a kernel upgrade, but this has never been part of the
contract. (The choice of compression algorithm is not stored in the
pstore records either)

The worst case compression size used by pstore gives an upper bound for
how much the data might inadvertently *grow* due to encapsulation
overhead if the input is not compressible at all.
Given that pstore records have individual 'compressed' flags, we can
simply store the uncompressed data if compressing it would end up using
more space, making the worst case identical to the uncompressed case.
This means we can just drop all the elaborate logic that reasons about
upper bounds for each individual compression algorithm, and just store
the uncompressed data directly if compression fails for any reason.

name_to_dev_t has a very misleading name, that doesn't make clear
it should only be used by the early init code, and also has a bad
calling convention that doesn't allow returning different kinds of
errors. Rename it to early_lookup_bdev to make the use case clear,
and return an errno, where -EINVAL means the string could not be
parsed, and -ENODEV means it the string was valid, but there was
no device found for it.
Also stub out the whole call for !CONFIG_BLOCK as all the non-block
root cases are always covered in the caller.

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored
and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a
quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this
quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns
void.
Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.
