Use uoff_t instead of unsigned long long and loff_t for file positions that can't be negative.

cachefiles: Fix potential UAF/KASAN warning

2026-08-31T07:54:38+00:00

Currently, trace_cachefiles_coherency() is being passed a pointer to a __be64 lain over the coherency data in struct cachefiles_xattr so that it can display the first 8 bytes. However, the data is of variable length and could even be 0 bytes. This could lead to a UAF or KASAN warning. Fix this by making sure the buffer has room for at least 8 bytes and that those 8 bytes are pre-cleared. Further, those bytes are not 8-byte aligned, so fix the tracepoint to extract the data as four 2-byte words (they are 2-byte aligned) and reassemble the __be64. The compiler will convert this into a single 8-byte load where the CPU supports it.

cachefiles,netfs: sunset ondemand mode

2026-08-12T14:24:26+00:00

It was an effort to enhance fscache as a kernel cache for lazy pulling (at least according to previous Incremental FS discussion [1]) and EROFS over fscache was the in-tree user of this mode. fscache has since evolved to be netfslib-oriented, serving network filesystem inodes via the netfs library, but EROFS never acts as a network filesystem and we need to cache golden filesystem images rather than individual EROFS inodes. Since EROFS over fscache is now removed, clean up netfs/fscache/ cachefiles upstream too.

Add a display of the first 8 bytes of the downloaded auxiliary data and of the on-disk stored auxiliary data as these are used in coherency management. In the case of afs, this holds the data version number.

fscache,cachefiles: add prepare_ondemand_read() callback

2022-12-07T02:56:29+00:00

Add prepare_ondemand_read() callback dedicated for the on-demand read scenario, so that callers from this scenario can be decoupled from netfs_io_subrequest. The original cachefiles_prepare_read() is now refactored to a generic routine accepting a parameter list instead of netfs_io_subrequest. There's no logic change, except that the debug id of subrequest and request is removed from trace_cachefiles_prep_read().
