In 0ee50b4753 ("namei: change filename_parentat() calling
conventions"), filename_parentat() was made to always call putname() on
the filename before returning, and kern_path_locked() was migrated to
this calling convention. However, kern_path_locked() uses the "last"
parameter to lookup and potentially create a new dentry. The last
parameter contains the last component of the path and points within the
filename, which was recently freed at the end of filename_parentat().
Thus, when kern_path_locked() calls __lookup_hash(), it is using the
filename after it has already been freed.
In other words, these calling conventions had been wrong for the
only remaining caller of filename_parentat(). Everything else
is using __filename_parentat(), which does not drop the reference;
so should kern_path_locked().
Switch kern_path_locked() to use of __filename_parentat() and move
getting/dropping struct filename into wrapper. Remove filename_parentat(),
now that we have no remaining callers.

The tb_test_credit_alloc_all() function had a huge number of
KUNIT_ASSERT() statements, all of which (though the magic of many many
layers of inscrutable macros) ended up allocating and initializing
various test assertion structures on the stack.
Don't do that. The kernel stack isn't infinite, and we have compiler
warnings (now errors) for the case where a stack frame grows too large.
Like it did here, by not an inconsiderable margin:
drivers/thunderbolt/test.c: In function ‘tb_test_credit_alloc_all’:
drivers/thunderbolt/test.c:2367:1: error: the frame size of 4500 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
2367 | }
| ^
Solve this similarly to the lib/test_scanf case: split out the tests
into several smaller functions, each just testing one particular tunnel
credit allocation.
This makes the i386 allyesconfig build work for me again.

It turns out that gcc has real trouble merging all the temporary
on-stack buffer allocation. So despite the fact that their lifetimes do
not overlap, gcc will allocate stack for all of them when they have
different types. Which they do in the number scanning test routines.
This is unfortunate in general, but with lots of test-cases in one
function, it becomes a real problem. gcc will allocate a huge stack
frame for no actual good reason.
We have tried to counteract this tendency of gcc not merging stack slots
(see "-fconserve-stack"), but that has limited effect (and should be on
by default these days, iirc).
So with all the debug options enabled on an i386 allmodconfig build, we
end up with overly big stack frames, and the resulting stack frame size
warnings (now errors):
lib/test_scanf.c: In function ‘numbers_list_field_width_val_width’:
lib/test_scanf.c:530:1: error: the frame size of 2088 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
530 | }
| ^
lib/test_scanf.c: In function ‘numbers_list_field_width_typemax’:
lib/test_scanf.c:488:1: error: the frame size of 2568 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
488 | }
| ^
lib/test_scanf.c: In function ‘numbers_list’:
lib/test_scanf.c:437:1: error: the frame size of 2088 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
437 | }
| ^
In this particular case, the reasonably straightforward solution is to
just split out the test routines into multiple more targeted versions.
That way we don't have one huge stack, but several smaller ones, and
they aren't active all at the same time.

The variable 'package_size' is an unsigned long, and should be printed
out using '%lu', not '%zd' (that would be for a size_t).
Yes, on many architectures (including x86-64), 'size_t' is in fact the
same type as 'long', but that's a fairly random architecture definition,
and on some platforms 'size_t' is in fact 'int' rather than 'long'.
That is the case on traditional 32-bit x86. Yes, both types are the
exact same 32-bit size, and it would all print out perfectly correctly,
but '%zd' ends up still being wrong.
And we can't make 'package_size' be a 'size_t', because we get the
actual value using efivar_entry_get() that takes a pointer to an
'unsigned long'. So '%lu' it is.
This fixes two of the i386 allmodconfig build warnings (that is now an
error due to -Werror).

"As sometimes happens, two reports came in around the merge window open
that led to some fixes. Hence this one is a bit bigger than usual
followup fixes, but most of it will be going towards stable, outside

In detail:
- postgres is a heavy user of signals between tasks, and if we're
unlucky this can interfere with io-wq worker creation. Make sure
we're resilient against unrelated signal handling. This set of
changes also includes hardening against allocation failures, which
could previously had led to stalls.

work would have starvation issues related to that. Split the
pending work lists to handle that better.

... but make it a config option so that broken environments can disable
it when required.
We really should always have a clean build, and will disable specific
over-eager warnings as required, if we can't fix them. But while I
fairly religiously enforce that in my own tree, it doesn't get enforced
by various build robots that don't necessarily report warnings.
So this just makes '-Werror' a default compiler flag, but allows people
to disable it for their configuration if they have some particular
issues.
Occasionally, new compiler versions end up enabling new warnings, and it
can take a while before we have them fixed (or the warnings disabled if
that is what it takes), so the config option allows for that situation.
Hopefully this will mean that I get fewer pull requests that have new
warnings that were not noticed by various automation we have in place.
Knock wood.

denied until the link is effectivel gone (exec, termination,

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this cycle, we've addressed some performance issues such as lock
contention, misbehaving compress_cache, allowing extent_cache for
compressed files, and new sysfs to adjust ra_size for fadvise.
In order to diagnose the performance issues quickly, we also added an
iostat which shows the IO latencies periodically.
On the stability side, we've found two memory leakage cases in the
error path in compression flow. And, we've also fixed various corner
cases in fiemap, quota, checkpoint=disable, zstd, and so on.
Enhancements:
- avoid long checkpoint latency by releasing nat_tree_lock
- collect and show iostats periodically
- support extent_cache for compressed files
- add a sysfs entry to manage ra_size given fadvise(POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL)
- report f2fs GC status via sysfs
- add discard_unit=%s in mount option to handle zoned device
Bug fixes:
- fix two memory leakages when an error happens in the compressed IO flow
- fix commpress_cache to get the right LBA
- fix fiemap to deal with compressed case correctly
- fix wrong EIO returns due to SBI_NEED_FSCK
- fix missing writes when enabling checkpoint back
- fix quota deadlock
- fix zstd level mount option
In addition to the above major updates, we've cleaned up several code
paths such as dio, unnecessary operations, debugfs/f2fs/status, sanity
check, and typos"

syzbot is reporting circular locking problem at __loop_clr_fd() [1], for
commit a160c6159d ("block: add an optional probe callback to
major_names") is calling the module's probe function with major_names_lock
held.
Fortunately, since commit 990e78116d ("block: loop: fix deadlock
between open and remove") stopped holding loop_ctl_mutex in lo_open(),
current role of loop_ctl_mutex is to serialize access to loop_index_idr
and loop_add()/loop_remove(); in other words, management of id for IDR.
To avoid holding loop_ctl_mutex during whole add/remove operation, use
a bool flag to indicate whether the loop device is ready for use.
loop_unregister_transfer() which is called from cleanup_cryptoloop()
currently has possibility of use-after-free problem due to lack of
serialization between kfree() from loop_remove() from loop_control_remove()
and mutex_lock() from unregister_transfer_cb(). But since lo->lo_encryption
should be already NULL when this function is called due to module unload,
and commit 222013f9ac ("cryptoloop: add a deprecation warning")
indicates that we will remove this function shortly, this patch updates
this function to emit warning instead of checking lo->lo_encryption.
Holding loop_ctl_mutex in loop_exit() is pointless, for all users must
close /dev/loop-control and /dev/loop$num (in order to drop module's
refcount to 0) before loop_exit() starts, and nobody can open
/dev/loop-control or /dev/loop$num afterwards.

It currently takes a long, and while that's normally OK, the io_uring
limit is an int. Internally in io_uring it's an int, but sometimes it's
passed as a long. That can yield confusing results where a completions
seems to generate a huge result:
ou-sqp-1297-1298 [001] ...1 788.056371: io_uring_complete: ring 000000000e98e046, user_data 0x0, result 4294967171, cflags 0
which is due to -ECANCELED being stored in an unsigned, and then passed
in as a long. Using the right int type, the trace looks correct:
iou-sqp-338-339 [002] ...1 15.633098: io_uring_complete: ring 00000000e0ac60cf, user_data 0x0, result -125, cflags 0

There is a usecase in Android that an app process's memory is swapped out
by process_madvise() with MADV_PAGEOUT, such as the memory is swapped to
zram or a backing device. When the process is scheduled to running, like
switch to foreground, multiple page faults may cause the app dropped
frames.
To reduce the problem, System Management Software can read-ahead memory
of the process immediately when the app switches to forground. Calling
process_madvise() with MADV_WILLNEED can meet this need.

Since merged pages are copied every time they need to be modified, the
write access time is different between shared and non-shared pages. Add
ksm_cow_time() function which evaluates latency of these COW breaks.
First, 4000 pages are allocated and the time, required to modify 1 byte in
every other page, is measured. After this, the pages are merged into 2000
pairs and in each pair, 1 page is modified (i.e. they are decoupled) to
detect COW breaks. The time needed to break COW of merged pages is then
compared with performance of non-shared pages.
The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -C
The output:
Total size: 15 MiB
Not merged pages:
Total time: 0.002185489 s
Average speed: 3202.945 MiB/s
Merged pages:
Total time: 0.004386872 s
Average speed: 1595.670 MiB/s
