Pull overlayfs cred guard conversion from Christian Brauner:
"This converts all of overlayfs to use credential guards, eliminating
manual credential management throughout the filesystem.
Credential guard conversion:
- Convert all of overlayfs to use credential guards, replacing the
manual ovl_override_creds()/ovl_revert_creds() pattern with scoped
guards.
This makes credential handling visually explicit and eliminates a
class of potential bugs from mismatched override/revert calls.
(1) Basic credential guard (with_ovl_creds)
(2) Creator credential guard (ovl_override_creator_creds):
Introduced a specialized guard for file creation operations
that handles the two-phase credential override (mounter
credentials, then fs{g,u}id override). The new pattern is much
clearer:
with_ovl_creds(dentry->d_sb) {
scoped_class(prepare_creds_ovl, cred, dentry, inode, mode) {
if (IS_ERR(cred))
return PTR_ERR(cred);
/* creation operations */
}
}
(3) Copy-up credential guard (ovl_cu_creds):
Introduced a specialized guard for copy-up operations,
simplifying the previous struct ovl_cu_creds helper and
associated functions.
Ported ovl_copy_up_workdir() and ovl_copy_up_tmpfile() to this
pattern.
Cleanups:
- Remove ovl_revert_creds() after all callers converted to guards
- Remove struct ovl_cu_creds and associated functions
- Drop ovl_setup_cred_for_create() after conversion
- Refactor ovl_fill_super(), ovl_lookup(), ovl_iterate(),
ovl_rename() for cleaner credential guard scope
- Introduce struct ovl_renamedata to simplify rename handling
- Don't override credentials for ovl_check_whiteouts() (unnecessary)
- Remove unneeded semicolon"

Pull directory locking updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to add centralized APIs for directory locking
operations.
This series is part of a larger effort to change directory operation
locking to allow multiple concurrent operations in a directory. The
ultimate goal is to lock the target dentry(s) rather than the whole
parent directory.
To help with changing the locking protocol, this series centralizes
locking and lookup in new helper functions. The helpers establish a
pattern where it is the dentry that is being locked and unlocked
(currently the lock is held on dentry->d_parent->d_inode, but that can
change in the future).
This also changes vfs_mkdir() to unlock the parent on failure, as well
as dput()ing the dentry. This allows end_creating() to only require
the target dentry (which may be IS_ERR() after vfs_mkdir()), not the
parent"

Pull directory delegations update from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work for recall-only directory delegations for
knfsd.
Add support for simple, recallable-only directory delegations. This
was decided at the fall NFS Bakeathon where the NFS client and server
maintainers discussed how to merge directory delegation support.
The approach starts with recallable-only delegations for several reasons:
1. RFC8881 has gaps that are being addressed in RFC8881bis. In
particular, it requires directory position information for
CB_NOTIFY callbacks, which is difficult to implement properly
under Linux. The spec is being extended to allow that information
to be omitted.
2. Client-side support for CB_NOTIFY still lags. The client side
involves heuristics about when to request a delegation.
3. Early indication shows simple, recallable-only delegations can
help performance. Anna Schumaker mentioned seeing a multi-minute
speedup in xfstests runs with them enabled.
With these changes, userspace can also request a read lease on a
directory that will be recalled on conflicting accesses. This may be
useful for applications like Samba. Users can disable leases
altogether via the fs.leases-enable sysctl if needed.
VFS changes:
- Dedicated Type for Delegations
Introduce struct delegated_inode to track inodes that may have
delegations that need to be broken. This replaces the previous
approach of passing raw inode pointers through the delegation
breaking code paths, providing better type safety and clearer
semantics for the delegation machinery.
- Break parent directory delegations in open(..., O_CREAT) codepath
- Allow mkdir to wait for delegation break on parent
- Allow rmdir to wait for delegation break on parent
- Add try_break_deleg calls for parents to vfs_link(), vfs_rename(),
and vfs_unlink()
- Make vfs_create(), vfs_mknod(), and vfs_symlink() break delegations
on parent directory
- Clean up argument list for vfs_create()
- Expose delegation support to userland
Filelock changes:
- Make lease_alloc() take a flags argument
- Rework the __break_lease API to use flags
- Add struct delegated_inode
- Push the S_ISREG check down to ->setlease handlers
- Lift the ban on directory leases in generic_setlease
NFSD changes:
- Allow filecache to hold S_IFDIR files
- Allow DELEGRETURN on directories
- Wire up GET_DIR_DELEGATION handling
Fixes:
- Fix kernel-doc warnings in __fcntl_getlease

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Hide inode->i_state behind accessors. Open-coded accesses prevent
asserting they are done correctly. One obvious aspect is locking,
but significantly more can be checked. For example it can be
detected when the code is clearing flags which are already missing,
or is setting flags when it is illegal (e.g., I_FREEING when
->i_count > 0)
- Provide accessors for ->i_state, converts all filesystems using
coccinelle and manual conversions (btrfs, ceph, smb, f2fs, gfs2,
overlayfs, nilfs2, xfs), and makes plain ->i_state access fail to
compile
- Rework I_NEW handling to operate without fences, simplifying the
code after the accessor infrastructure is in place
Cleanups:
- Move wait_on_inode() from writeback.h to fs.h
- Spell out fenced ->i_state accesses with explicit smp_wmb/smp_rmb
for clarity
- Cosmetic fixes to LRU handling
- Push list presence check into inode_io_list_del()
- Touch up predicts in __d_lookup_rcu()
- ocfs2: retire ocfs2_drop_inode() and I_WILL_FREE usage
- Assert on ->i_count in iput_final()
- Assert ->i_lock held in __iget()
Fixes:
- Add missing fences to I_NEW handling"

The current code to override credentials for creation operations is
pretty difficult to understand. We effectively override the credentials
twice:
(1) override with the mounter's credentials
(2) copy the mounts credentials and override the fs{g,u}id with the inode {u,g}id
And then we elide the revert because it would be an idempotent revert.
That elision doesn't buy us anything anymore though because I've made it
all work without any reference counting anyway. All it does is mix the
two credential overrides together.
We can use a cleanup guard to clarify the creation codepaths and make
them easier to understand.
This just introduces the cleanup guard keeping the patch reviewable.
We'll convert the caller in follow-up patches and then drop the
duplicated code.
