When truncating a file to a size within the last allowed logical block, block_to_path() is called with the *next* block. This exceeds the limit, causing the "block %ld too big" error message to be printed. This case isn't actually an error; there are just no more blocks past that point. So, remove this error message.

The minix filesystem reads its maximum file size from its on-disk superblock. This value isn't necessarily a multiple of the block size. When it's not, the V1 block mapping code doesn't allow mapping the last possible block. Commit 6ed6a722 ("minixfs: fix block limit check") fixed this in the V2 mapping code. Fix it in the V1 mapping code too.

The minix filesystem leaves super_block::s_maxbytes at MAX_NON_LFS rather than setting it to the actual filesystem-specific limit. This is broken because it means userspace doesn't see the standard behavior like getting EFBIG and SIGXFSZ when exceeding the maximum file size. Fix this by setting s_maxbytes correctly.

If the minix filesystem tries to map a very large logical block number to its on-disk location, block_to_path() can return offsets that are too large, causing out-of-bounds memory accesses when accessing indirect index blocks. This should be prevented by the check against the maximum file size, but this doesn't work because the maximum file size is read directly from the on-disk superblock and isn't validated itself. Fix this by validating the maximum file size at mount time.

Patch series "fs/minix: fix syzbot bugs and set s_maxbytes". This series fixes all syzbot bugs in the minix filesystem: KASAN: null-ptr-deref Write in get_block KASAN: use-after-free Write in get_block KASAN: use-after-free Read in get_block WARNING in inc_nlink KMSAN: uninit-value in get_block WARNING in drop_nlink It also fixes the minix filesystem to set s_maxbytes correctly, so that userspace sees the correct behavior when exceeding the max file size. This patch (of 6): sb_getblk() can fail, so check its return value. This fixes a NULL pointer dereference. Originally from Qiujun Huang.

Checkpatch reports warnings when some specific structs are not declared as const in the code. The list of structs to consider was initially defined in the checkpatch.pl script itself, but it was later moved to an external file (scripts/const_structs.checkpatch), in commit bf1fa1da ("checkpatch: externalize the structs that should be const"). This introduced two minor issues: - When file scripts/const_structs.checkpatch is not present (for example, if checkpatch is run outside of the kernel directory with the "--no-tree" option), a warning is printed to stderr to tell the user that "No structs that should be const will be found". This is fair, but the warning is printed unconditionally, even if the option "--ignore CONST_STRUCT" is passed. In the latter case, we explicitly ask checkpatch to skip this check, so no warning should be printed. - When scripts/const_structs.checkpatch is missing, or even when trying to silence the warning by adding an empty file, $const_structs is set to "", and the regex used for finding structs that should be const, "$line =~ /struct\s+($const_structs)(?!\s*\{)/)", matches all structs found in the code, thus reporting a number of false positives. Let's fix the first item by skipping scripts/const_structs.checkpatch processing if "CONST_STRUCT" checks are ignored, and the second one by skipping the test if $const_structs is not defined. Since we modify the read_words() function a little bit, update the checks for $typedefsfile/$typeOtherTypedefs as well.

The documentation of the kstrto*() functions describes kstrto*() as "replacements" of the "obsolete" simple_strto*() functions. Both of these terms are inaccurate: they're not replacements because they have different behaviour, and the simple_strto*() are not obsolete because there are cases where they have benefits over kstrto*(). Remove usage of the terms "replacement" and "obsolete" in reference to simple_strto*(), and instead use the term "preferred over".

The documentation of the kstrto*() functions reference the simple_strtoull function by "used as a replacement for [the obsolete] simple_strtoull". All these functions describes themselves as replacements for the function simple_strtoull, even though a function like kstrtol() would be more aptly described as a replacement of simple_strtol(). Fix these references by making the documentation of kstrto*() reference the closest simple_strto*() equivalent available. The functions kstrto[u]int() do not have direct simple_strto[u]int() equivalences, so these are made to refer to simple_strto[u]l() instead. Furthermore, add parentheses after function names, as is standard in kernel documentation.

Patch series "lib: Fix bitmap_cut() for overlaps, add test" This patch (of 2): Yury Norov reports that bitmap_cut() will not produce the right outcome if src and dst partially overlap, with src pointing at some location after dst, because the memmove() affects src before we store the bits that we need to keep, that is, the bits preceding the cut -- as long as we the beginning of the cut is not aligned to a long. Fix this by storing those bits before the memmove(). Note that this is just a theoretical concern so far, as the only user of this function, pipapo_drop() from the nftables set back-end implemented in net/netfilter/nft_set_pipapo.c, always supplies entirely overlapping src and dst.

Recently 0day reported many strange performance changes (regression or improvement), in which there was no obvious relation between the culprit commit and the benchmark at the first look, and it causes people to doubt the test itself is wrong. Upon further check, many of these cases are caused by the change to the alignment of kernel text or data, as whole text/data of kernel are linked together, change in one domain may affect alignments of other domains. gcc has an option '-falign-functions=n' to force text aligned, and with that option enabled, some of those performance changes will be gone, like [1][2][3]. Add this option so that developers and 0day can easily find performance bump caused by text alignment change, as tracking these strange bump is quite time consuming. Though it can't help in other cases like data alignment changes like [4].

Add a helper that waits for a pid and stores the status in the passed in kernel pointer. Use it to fix the usage of kernel_wait4 in call_usermodehelper_exec_sync that only happens to work due to the implicit set_fs(KERNEL_DS) for kernel threads.

These accessors must be used to read/write a big-endian bus. The value returned or written is native-endian. However, these accessors are defined using be{16,32}_to_cpu() or cpu_to_be{16,32}() to make the endian conversion but these expect a __be{16,32} when none is present. Keeping them would need a force cast that would solve nothing at all. So, do the conversion using swab{16,32}, like done in asm-generic for similar situations.

Add helpers to wrap the get_fs/set_fs magic for undoing any damange done by set_fs(KERNEL_DS). There is no real functional benefit, but this documents the intent of these calls better, and will allow stubbing the functions out easily for kernels builds that do not allow address space overrides in the future.

Patch series "clean up address limit helpers", v2. In preparation for eventually phasing out direct use of set_fs(), this series removes the segment_eq() arch helper that is only used to implement or duplicate the uaccess_kernel() API, and then adds descriptive helpers to force the kernel address limit. This patch (of 6): Use the uaccess_kernel helper instead of duplicating it.
