Merge tag 'xfs-5.6-merge-6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux
Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong: "In this release we clean out the last of the old 32-bit timestamp code, fix a number of bugs and memory corruptions on 32-bit platforms, and a refactoring of some of the extended attribute code.
I think I'll be back next week with some refactoring of how the XFS buffer code returns error codes, however I prefer to hold onto that for another week to let it soak a while longer
Summary:
- Get rid of compat_time_t
- Convert time_t to time64_t in quota code
- Remove shadow variables
- Prevent ATTR_ flag misuse in the attrmulti ioctls
- Clean out strlen in the attr code
- Remove some bogus asserts
- Fix various file size limit calculation errors with 32-bit kernels
- Pack xfs_dir2_sf_entry_t to fix build errors on arm oabi
- Fix nowait inode locking calls for directio aio reads
- Fix memory corruption bugs when invalidating remote xattr value buffers
- Streamline remote attr value removal
- Make the buffer log format size consistent across platforms
- Strengthen buffer log format size checking
- Fix messed up return types of xfs_inode_need_cow
- Fix some unused variable warnings"

Merge branch 'iomap-write' into linux-gfs2/for-next
Pull in the gfs2 iomap-write changes: Tweak the existing code to properly support iomap write and eliminate an unnecessary special case in gfs2_block_map. Implement iomap write support for buffered and direct I/O. Simplify some of the existing code and eliminate code that is no longer used:
gfs2: Remove gfs2_write_{begin,end} gfs2: iomap direct I/O support gfs2: gfs2_extent_length cleanup gfs2: iomap buffered write support gfs2: Further iomap cleanups
This is based on the following changes on the xfs 'iomap-4.19-merge' branch:
iomap: add private pointer to struct iomap iomap: add a page_done callback iomap: generic inline data handling iomap: complete partial direct I/O writes synchronously iomap: mark newly allocated buffer heads as new fs: factor out a __generic_write_end helper

xfs: convert to SPDX license tags
Remove the verbose license text from XFS files and replace them with SPDX tags. This does not change the license of any of the code, merely refers to the common, up-to-date license files in LICENSES/
This change was mostly scripted. fs/xfs/Makefile and fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_fs.h were modified by hand, the rest were detected and modified by the following command:
for f in `git grep -l "GNU General" fs/xfs/` ; do echo $f cat $f | awk -f hdr.awk > $f.new mv -f $f.new $f done
And the hdr.awk script that did the modification (including detecting the difference between GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0+ licenses) is as follows:
$ cat hdr.awk BEGIN { hdr = 1.0 tag = "GPL-2.0" str = "" }
/^ \* This program is free software/ { hdr = 2.0; next }
/any later version./ { tag = "GPL-2.0+" next }
/^ \*\// { if (hdr > 0.0) { print "// SPDX-License-Identifier: " tag print str print $0 str="" hdr = 0.0 next } print $0 next }
/^ \* / { if (hdr > 1.0) next if (hdr > 0.0) { if (str != "") str = str "\n" str = str $0 next } print $0 next }
/^ \*/ { if (hdr > 0.0) next print $0 next }
// { if (hdr > 0.0) { if (str != "") str = str "\n" str = str $0 next } print $0 }
END { } $

xfs: create a shared header file for format-related information
All of the buffer operations structures are needed to be exported for xfs_db, so move them all to a common location rather than spreading them all over the place. They are verifying the on-disk format, so while xfs_format.h might be a good place, it is not part of the on disk format.
Hence we need to create a new header file that we centralise these related definitions. Start by moving the bffer operations structures, and then also move all the other definitions that have crept into xfs_log_format.h and xfs_format.h as there was no other shared header file to put them in.

xfs: rework remote attr CRCs
Note: this changes the on-disk remote attribute format. I assert that this is OK to do as CRCs are marked experimental and the first kernel it is included in has not yet reached release yet. Further, the userspace utilities are still evolving and so anyone using this stuff right now is a developer or tester using volatile filesystems for testing this feature. Hence changing the format right now to save longer term pain is the right thing to do.
The fundamental change is to move from a header per extent in the attribute to a header per filesytem block in the attribute. This means there are more header blocks and the parsing of the attribute data is slightly more complex, but it has the advantage that we always know the size of the attribute on disk based on the length of the data it contains.
This is where the header-per-extent method has problems. We don't know the size of the attribute on disk without first knowing how many extents are used to hold it. And we can't tell from a mapping lookup, either, because remote attributes can be allocated contiguously with other attribute blocks and so there is no obvious way of determining the actual size of the atribute on disk short of walking and mapping buffers.
The problem with this approach is that if we map a buffer incorrectly (e.g. we make the last buffer for the attribute data too long), we then get buffer cache lookup failure when we map it correctly. i.e. we get a size mismatch on lookup. This is not necessarily fatal, but it's a cache coherency problem that can lead to returning the wrong data to userspace or writing the wrong data to disk. And debug kernels will assert fail if this occurs.
I found lots of niggly little problems trying to fix this issue on a 4k block size filesystem, finally getting it to pass with lots of fixes. The thing is, 1024 byte filesystems still failed, and it was getting really complex handling all the corner cases that were showing up. And there were clearly more that I hadn't found yet.
It is complex, fragile code, and if we don't fix it now, it will be complex, fragile code forever more.
Hence the simple fix is to add a header to each filesystem block. This gives us the same relationship between the attribute data length and the number of blocks on disk as we have without CRCs - it's a linear mapping and doesn't require us to guess anything. It is simple to implement, too - the remote block count calculated at lookup time can be used by the remote attribute set/get/remove code without modification for both CRC and non-CRC filesystems. The world becomes sane again.
Because the copy-in and copy-out now need to iterate over each filesystem block, I moved them into helper functions so we separate the block mapping and buffer manupulations from the attribute data and CRC header manipulations. The code becomes much clearer as a result, and it is a lot easier to understand and debug. It also appears to be much more robust - once it worked on 4k block size filesystems, it has worked without failure on 1k block size filesystems, too.

There are two ways of doing this - the first is to add a CRC to the remote attribute entry in the attribute block. The second is to treat them similar to the remote symlink, where each fragment has it's own header and identifies fragment location in the attribute.
The problem with the CRC in the remote attr entry is that we cannot identify the owner of the metadata from the metadata blocks themselves, or where the blocks fit into the remote attribute. The down side to this approach is that we never know when the attribute has been read from disk or not and so we have to verify it every time it is read, and we must calculate it during the create transaction and log it. We do not log CRCs for any other metadata, and so this creates a unique set of coherency problems that, in general, are best avoided.
Adding an identifying header to each allocated block allows us to identify each fragment and where in the attribute it is located. It enables us to rebuild the remote attribute from just the raw blocks containing the attribute. It also provides us to do per-block CRCs verification at IO time rather than during the transaction context that creates it or every time it is read into a user buffer. Hence it avoids all the problems that an external, logged CRC has, and provides all the benefits of self identifying metadata.
The only complexity is that we have to add a header per fragment, and we don't know how many fragments will be needed prior to allocations. If we take the symlink example, the header is 56 bytes and hence for a 4k block size filesystem, in the worst case 16 headers requires 1 extra block for the 64k attribute data. For 512 byte filesystems the worst case is an extra block for every 9 fragments (i.e. 16 extra blocks in the worse case). This will be very rare and so it's not really a major concern.
Because allocation is done in two steps - the first finds a hole large enough in the attribute file, the second does the allocation - we only need to find a hole big enough for a worst case allocation. We only need to allocate enough extra blocks for number of headers required by the fragments, and we can calculate that as we go....
Hence it really only makes sense to use the same model as for symlinks - it doesn't add that much complexity, does not require an attribute tree format change, and does not require logging calculated CRC values.

xfs: split remote attribute code out
Adding CRC support to remote attributes adds a significant amount of remote attribute specific code. Split the existing remote attribute code out into it's own file so that all the relevant remote attribute code is in a single, easy to find place.
