[PATCH v8 00/20] vfs: Add support for timestamp limits

From: Deepa Dinamani
Date: Sun Aug 18 2019 - 12:59:24 EST


The series is an update and a more complete version of the
previously posted series at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20180122020426.2988-1-deepa.kernel@xxxxxxxxx/

Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for doing a few preliminary reviews.
They helped me fix a few issues I had overlooked.

The limits (sometimes granularity also) for the filesystems updated here are according to the
following table:

File system Time type Start year Expiration year Granularity
cramfs fixed 0 0
romfs fixed 0 0
pstore ascii seconds (27 digit ascii) S64_MIN S64_MAX 1
coda INT64 S64_MIN S64_MAX 1
omfs 64-bit milliseconds 0 U64_MAX/ 1000 NSEC_PER_MSEC
befs unsigned 48-bit seconds 0 0xffffffffffff alloc_super
bfs unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super
efs unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super
ext2 signed 32-bit seconds S32_MIN S32_MAX alloc_super
ext3 signed 32-bit seconds S32_MIN S32_MAX alloc_super
ext4 (old) signed 32-bit seconds S32_MIN S32_MAX alloc_super
ext4 (extra) 34-bit seconds, 30-bit ns S32_MIN 0x37fffffff 1
freevxfs u32 secs/usecs 0 U32_MAX alloc_super
jffs2 unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super
jfs unsigned 32-bit seconds/ns 0 U32_MAX 1
minix unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super
orangefs u64 seconds 0 U64_MAX alloc_super
qnx4 unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super
qnx6 unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super
reiserfs unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super
squashfs unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super
ufs1 signed 32-bit seconds S32_MIN S32_MAX NSEC_PER_SEC
ufs2 signed 64-bit seconds/u32 ns S64_MIN S64_MAX 1
xfs signed 32-bit seconds/ns S32_MIN S32_MAX 1
ceph unsigned 32-bit second/ns 0 U32_MAX 1000
sysv unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super
affs u32 day, min, ticks 1978 u32_max days NSEC_PER_SEC
nfsv2 unsigned 32-bit seconds/ns 0 U32_MAX 1
nfsv3 unsigned 32-bit seconds/ns 0 U32_MAX 1000
nfsv4 u64 seconds/u32 ns S64_MIN S64_MAX 1000
isofs u8 year since 1900 (fixable) 1900 2155 alloc_super
hpfs unsigned 32-bit seconds 1970 2106 alloc_super
fat 7-bit years, 2s resolution 1980 2107
cifs (smb) 7-bit years 1980 2107
cifs (modern) 64-bit 100ns since 1601 1601 30828
adfs 40-bit cs since 1900 1900 2248
9p (9P2000) unsigned 32-bit seconds 1970 2106
9p (9P2000.L) signed 64-bit seconds, ns 1970 S64_MAX

Granularity column filled in by the alloc_super() in the above table indicates that
the granularity is NSEC_PER_SEC.
Note that anything not mentioned above still has the default limits
S64_MIN..S64_MAX.

The patches in the series are as structured below:
1. Add vfs support to maintain the limits per filesystem.
2. Add a new timestamp_truncate() api for clamping timestamps
according to the filesystem limits.
3. Add a warning for mount syscall to indicate the impending
expiry of timestamps.
4. Modify utimes to clamp the timestamps.
5. Fill in limits for filesystems.

A test for checking file system timestamp limits has been posted
at https://www.spinics.net/lists/fstests/msg12262.html

Changes since v7:
* Dropped fat modifications from timespec_truncate patch
* Leverage timestamp_truncate function in utimes
* Added a fix for pstore ramoops timestamps
* Added ext4 warning for inodes without room for extended timestamps.
* Made mount warning more human readable
Changes since v6:
* No change in mount behavior because of expiry of timestamps.
* Included limits for more filesystems.
Changes since v5:
* Dropped y2038-specific changes
Changes since v4:
* Added documentation for boot param
Changes since v3:
* Remove redundant initializations in libfs.c
* Change early_param to __setup similar to other root mount options.
* Fix documentation warning
Changes since v2:
* Introduce early boot param override for checks.
* Drop afs patch for timestamp limits.
Changes since v1:
* return EROFS on mount errors
* fix mtime copy/paste error in utimes
