Now that we expose struct file_attr as our uapi struct rename all the internal struct to struct file_kattr to clearly communicate that it is a kernel internal struct. This is similar to struct mount_{k}attr and others. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20250703-restlaufzeit-baurecht-9ed44552b481@brauner Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
2025-07-02fs: prepare for extending file_get/setattr()Amir Goldstein
We intend to add support for more xflags to selective filesystems and We cannot rely on copy_struct_from_user() to detect this extension. In preparation of extending the API, do not allow setting xflags unknown by this kernel version. Also do not pass the read-only flags and read-only field fsx_nextents to filesystem. These changes should not affect existing chattr programs that use the ioctl to get fsxattr before setting the new values.

2023-01-19fs: port ->fileattr_set() to pass mnt_idmapChristian Brauner
Convert to struct mnt_idmap. Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap. Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for bugs. Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

2021-04-12vfs: add fileattr opsMiklos Szeredi
There's a substantial amount of boilerplate in filesystems handling FS_IOC_[GS]ETFLAGS/ FS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctls. Also due to userspace buffers being involved in the ioctl API this is difficult to stack, as shown by overlayfs issues related to these ioctls. Introduce a new internal API named "fileattr" (fsxattr can be confused with xattr, xflags is inappropriate, since this is more than just flags). There's significant overlap between flags and xflags and this API handles the conversions automatically, so filesystems may choose which one to use. In ->fileattr_get() a hint is provided to the filesystem whether flags or xattr are being requested by userspace, but in this series this hint is ignored by all filesystems, since generating all the attributes is cheap. If a filesystem doesn't implemement the fileattr API, just fall back to f_op->ioctl(). When all filesystems are converted, the fallback can be removed. 32bit compat ioctls are now handled by the generic code as well. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
