Commit f76d4c28a46a ("fs/jbd2: use sleeping version of
__find_get_block()") changed jbd2_journal_cancel_revoke() to use
__find_get_block_nonatomic() which holds the folio lock instead of
i_private_lock. This breaks the lock ordering (folio -> buffer) and
causes an ABBA deadlock when the filesystem blocksize < pagesize:
T1 T2
ext4_mkdir()
ext4_init_new_dir()
ext4_append()
ext4_getblk()
lock_buffer() <- A
sync_blockdev()
blkdev_writepages()
writeback_iter()
writeback_get_folio()
folio_lock() <- B
ext4_journal_get_create_access()
jbd2_journal_cancel_revoke()
__find_get_block_nonatomic()
folio_lock() <- B
block_write_full_folio()
lock_buffer() <- A
This can occasionally cause generic/013 to hang.
Fix by only calling __find_get_block_nonatomic() when the passed
buffer_head doesn't belong to the bdev, which is the only case that we
need to look up its bdev alias. Otherwise, the lookup is redundant since
the found buffer_head is equal to the one we passed in.

Pull ntfs resurrection from Namjae Jeon:
"Ever since Kari Argillander’s 2022 report [1] regarding the state of
the ntfs3 driver, I have spent the last 4 years working to provide
full write support and current trends (iomap, no buffer head, folio),
enhanced performance, stable maintenance, utility support including
fsck for NTFS in Linux.
This new implementation is built upon the clean foundation of the
original read-only NTFS driver, adding:
- Write support:
Implemented full write support based on the classic read-only NTFS
driver. Added delayed allocation to improve write performance
through multi-cluster allocation and reduced fragmentation of the
cluster bitmap.
- iomap conversion:
Switched buffered IO (reads/writes), direct IO, file extent
mapping, readpages, and writepages to use iomap.
- Remove buffer_head:
Completely removed buffer_head usage by converting to folios. As a
result, the dependency on CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD has been removed from
Kconfig.
- Stability improvements:
The new ntfs driver passes 326 xfstests, compared to 273 for ntfs3.
All tests passed by ntfs3 are a complete subset of the tests passed
by this implementation. Added support for fallocate, idmapped
mounts, permissions, and more.
xfstests Results report:
Total tests run: 787
Passed : 326
Failed : 38
Skipped : 423
Failed tests breakdown:
- 34 tests require metadata journaling
- 4 other tests:
094: No unwritten extent concept in NTFS on-disk format
563: cgroup v2 aware writeback accounting not supported
631: RENAME_WHITEOUT support required
787: NFS delegation test"

Thanks for the feedback from Dan Carpenter and Arnd Bergmann.
Dan suggested to make the rollback loop in orangefs_bufmap_map
more robust.
Arnd caught a %ld format for a size_t in
orangefs_bufmap_copy_to_iovec. He suggested %zd, I
used %zu which I think is OK too.
Orangefs userspace allocates 40 megabytes on an address that's page
aligned.
With this folio modification the allocation is aligned on a multiple of
2 megabytes:
posix_memalign(&ptr, 2097152, 41943040);
Then userspace tries to enable Huge Pages for the range:
madvise(ptr, 41943040, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
Userspace provides the address of the 40 megabyte allocation to
the Orangefs kernel module with an ioctl.
The kernel module initializes the memory as a "bufmap" with ten
4 megabyte "slots".
Traditionally, the slots are manipulated a page at a time.
This folio/bufmap modification manages the slots as folios, with
two 2 megabyte folios per slot and data can be read into
and out of each slot a folio at a time.
This modification works fine with orangefs userspace lacking
the THP focused posix_memalign and madvise settings listed above,
each slot can end up being made of page sized folios. It also works
if there are some, but less than 20, hugepages available. A message
is printed in the kernel ring buffer (dmesg) at userspace start
time that describes the folio/page ratio. As an example, I started
orangefs and saw "Grouped 2575 folios from 10240 pages" in the ring
buffer.
To get the optimum ratio, 20/10240, I use these settings before
I start the orangefs userspace:
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
echo 30 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/mm/hugetlbpage.html discusses
hugepages and manipulating the /proc/sys/vm settings.
Comparing the performance between the page/bufmap and the folio/bufmap
is a mixed bag.
- The folio/bufmap version is about 8% faster at running through the
xfstest suite on my VMs.
- It is easy to construct an fio test that brings the page/bufmap
version to its knees on my dinky VM test system, with all bufmap
slots used and I/O timeouts cascading.
- Some smaller tests I did with fio that didn't overwhelm the
page/bufmap version showed no performance gain with the
folio/bufmap version on my VM.
I suspect this change will improve performance only in some use-cases.
I think it will be a gain when there are many concurrent IOs that
mostly fill the bufmap. I'm working up a gcloud test for that.

The ARM32 BPF JIT does not support BPF-to-BPF function calls
(BPF_PSEUDO_CALL) or callbacks (BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC), but it does
not reject them either.
When a program with subprograms is loaded (e.g. libxdp's XDP
dispatcher uses __noinline__ subprograms, or any program using
callbacks like bpf_loop or bpf_for_each_map_elem), the verifier
invokes bpf_jit_subprogs() which calls bpf_int_jit_compile()
for each subprogram.
For BPF_PSEUDO_CALL, since ARM32 does not reject it, the JIT
silently emits code using the wrong address computation:
func = __bpf_call_base + imm
where imm is a pc-relative subprogram offset, producing a bogus
function pointer.
For BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC, the ldimm64 handler ignores src_reg and
loads the immediate as a normal 64-bit value without error.
In both cases, build_body() reports success and a JIT image is
allocated. ARM32 lacks the jit_data/extra_pass mechanism needed
for the second JIT pass in bpf_jit_subprogs(). On the second
pass, bpf_int_jit_compile() performs a full fresh compilation,
allocating a new JIT binary and overwriting prog->bpf_func. The
first allocation is never freed. bpf_jit_subprogs() then detects
the function pointer changed and aborts with -ENOTSUPP, but the
original JIT binary has already been leaked. Each program
load/unload cycle leaks one JIT binary allocation, as reported
by kmemleak:
unreferenced object 0xbf0a1000 (size 4096):
backtrace:
bpf_jit_binary_alloc+0x64/0xfc
bpf_int_jit_compile+0x14c/0x348
bpf_jit_subprogs+0x4fc/0xa60
Fix this by rejecting both BPF_PSEUDO_CALL in the BPF_CALL
handler and BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC in the BPF_LD_IMM64 handler, falling
through to the existing 'notyet' path. This causes build_body()
to fail before any JIT binary is allocated, so
bpf_int_jit_compile() returns the original program unjitted.
bpf_jit_subprogs() then sees !prog->jited and cleanly falls
back to the interpreter with no leak.
