Subject[GIT PULL] file_remove_privs() fix for v6.0-rc3
Date
Hey Linus,

/* Summary */
As part of Stefan's and Jens' work to add async buffered write support to xfs
we refactored file_remove_privs() and added __file_remove_privs() to avoid
calling __remove_privs() when IOCB_NOWAIT is passed.

While debugging a recent performance regression report I found that during
review we missed that faf99b563558 ("fs: add __remove_file_privs() with flags
parameter") accidently changed behavior when dentry_needs_remove_privs()
returns zero. Before the commit it would still call inode_has_no_xattr()
setting the S_NOSEC bit and thereby avoiding even calling into
dentry_needs_remove_privs() the next time this function is called. After that
commit inode_has_no_xattr() would only be called if __remove_privs() had to be
called. Restore the old behavior. This is likely the cause of the performance
regression.

/* Testing */
All patches are based on v6.0-rc1 and have been sitting in linux-next. No build
failures or warnings were observed and fstests, selftests, and LTP have seen no
regressions.

/* Conflicts */
At the time of creating this PR no merge conflicts were reported from
linux-next and no merge conflicts showed up doing a test-merge with current
mainline.

The following changes since commit 568035b01cfb107af8d2e4bd2fb9aea22cf5b868:
