Pull fallocate updates from Christian Brauner:
"fallocate() currently supports creating preallocated files
efficiently. However, on most filesystems fallocate() will preallocate
blocks in an unwriten state even if FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is specified.
The extent state must later be converted to a written state when the
user writes data into this range, which can trigger numerous metadata
changes and journal I/O. This may leads to significant write
amplification and performance degradation in synchronous write mode.
At the moment, the only method to avoid this is to create an empty
file and write zero data into it (for example, using 'dd' with a large
block size). However, this method is slow and consumes a considerable
amount of disk bandwidth.
Now that more and more flash-based storage devices are available it is
possible to efficiently write zeros to SSDs using the unmap write
zeroes command if the devices do not write physical zeroes to the
media.
For example, if SCSI SSDs support the UMMAP bit or NVMe SSDs support
the DEAC bit[1], the write zeroes command does not write actual data
to the device, instead, NVMe converts the zeroed range to a
deallocated state, which works fast and consumes almost no disk write
bandwidth.
This series implements the BLK_FEAT_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP feature and
BLK_FLAG_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP_DISABLED flag for SCSI, NVMe and
device-mapper drivers, and add the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES and
STATX_ATTR_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP support for ext4 and raw bdev devices.
fallocate() is subsequently extended with the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES
flag. FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES zeroes a specified file range in such a
way that subsequent writes to that range do not require further
changes to the file mapping metadata. This flag is beneficial for
subsequent pure overwriting within this range, as it can save on block
allocation and, consequently, significant metadata changes"

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains namespace updates. This time specifically for nsfs:
- Userspace heavily relies on the root inode numbers for namespaces
to identify the initial namespaces. That's already a hard
dependency. So we cannot change that anymore. Move the initial
inode numbers to a public header and align the only two namespaces
that currently don't do that with all the other namespaces.
- The root inode of /proc having a fixed inode number has been part
of the core kernel ABI since its inception, and recently some
userspace programs (mainly container runtimes) have started to
explicitly depend on this behaviour.
The main reason this is useful to userspace is that by checking
that a suspect /proc handle has fstype PROC_SUPER_MAGIC and is
PROCFS_ROOT_INO, they can then use openat2() together with
RESOLVE_{NO_{XDEV,MAGICLINK},BENEATH} to ensure that there isn't a
bind-mount that replaces some procfs file with a different one.
This kind of attack has lead to security issues in container
runtimes in the past (such as CVE-2019-19921) and libraries like
libpathrs[1] use this feature of procfs to provide safe procfs
handling functions"

Pull overlayfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains overlayfs updates for this cycle.
The changes for overlayfs in here are primarily focussed on preparing
for some proposed changes to directory locking.
Overlayfs currently will sometimes lock a directory on the upper
filesystem and do a few different things while holding the lock. This
is incompatible with the new potential scheme.
This series narrows the region of code protected by the directory
lock, taking it multiple times when necessary. This theoretically
opens up the possibilty of other changes happening on the upper
filesytem between the unlock and the lock. To some extent the patches
guard against that by checking the dentries still have the expect
parent after retaking the lock. In general, concurrent changes to the
upper and lower filesystems aren't supported properly anyway"

Pull coredump updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains an extension to the coredump socket and a proper rework
of the coredump code.
- This extends the coredump socket to allow the coredump server to
tell the kernel how to process individual coredumps. This allows
for fine-grained coredump management. Userspace can decide to just
let the kernel write out the coredump, or generate the coredump
itself, or just reject it.
* COREDUMP_KERNEL
The kernel will write the coredump data to the socket.
* COREDUMP_USERSPACE
The kernel will not write coredump data but will indicate to the
parent that a coredump has been generated. This is used when
userspace generates its own coredumps.
* COREDUMP_REJECT
The kernel will skip generating a coredump for this task.
* COREDUMP_WAIT
The kernel will prevent the task from exiting until the coredump
server has shutdown the socket connection.
The flexible coredump socket can be enabled by using the "@@"
prefix instead of the single "@" prefix for the regular coredump
socket:

Pull misc VFS updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support
This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and
write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate
to the filesystem's buffered I/O path.
Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag
and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.
Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to
bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of
directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb.
Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with
kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.

- mnt_slave_list/mnt_slave is an hlist now
- overmounts are kept track of by explicit pointer in mount
- a bunch of flags moved out of mnt_flags to a new field, with

overloading it for absolute roots
- all mnt_list uses are transient now - it's used only to
represent temporary sets during umount_tree()
- mount refcounting change: children no longer pin parents for any
mounts, whether they'd passed through umount_tree() or not
- 'struct mountpoint' changes:
- refcount is no more; what matters is ->m_list emptiness
- instead of temporary bumping the refcount, we insert a new
object (pinned_mountpoint) into ->m_list
- new calling conventions for lock_mount() and friends
- do_move_mount()/attach_recursive_mnt() seriously cleaned up
- globals in fs/pnode.c are gone
- propagate_mnt(), change_mnt_propagation() and propagate_umount()
cleaned up (in the last case - pretty much completely rewritten).
- freeing of emptied mnt_namespace is done in namespace_unlock(). For
one thing, there are subtle ordering requirements there; for another
it simplifies cleanups.

- we need to have the filesystem pinned to prevent the contents

Pull dentry d_flags updates from Al Viro:
"The current exclusion rules for dentry->d_flags stores are rather
unpleasant. The basic rules are simple:
- stores to dentry->d_flags are OK under dentry->d_lock
- stores to dentry->d_flags are OK in the dentry constructor, before
becomes potentially visible to other threads
Unfortunately, there's a couple of exceptions to that, and that's
where the headache comes from.
The main PITA comes from d_set_d_op(); that primitive sets ->d_op of
dentry and adjusts the flags that correspond to presence of individual
methods. It's very easy to misuse; existing uses _are_ safe, but proof
of correctness is brittle.
Use in __d_alloc() is safe (we are within a constructor), but we might
as well precalculate the initial value of 'd_flags' when we set the
default ->d_op for given superblock and set 'd_flags' directly instead
of messing with that helper.
The reasons why other uses are safe are bloody convoluted; I'm not
going to reproduce it here. See [1] for gory details, if you care. The
critical part is using d_set_d_op() only just prior to
d_splice_alias(), which makes a combination of d_splice_alias() with
setting ->d_op, etc a natural replacement primitive.
Better yet, if we go that way, it's easy to take setting ->d_op and
modifying 'd_flags' under ->d_lock, which eliminates the headache as
far as 'd_flags' exclusion rules are concerned. Other exceptions are
minor and easy to deal with.
What this series does:
- d_set_d_op() is no longer available; instead a new primitive
(d_splice_alias_ops()) is provided, equivalent to combination of
d_set_d_op() and d_splice_alias().
- new field of struct super_block - 's_d_flags'. This sets the
default value of 'd_flags' to be used when allocating dentries on
this filesystem.
- new primitive for setting 's_d_op': set_default_d_op(). This
replaces stores to 's_d_op' at mount time.
All in-tree filesystems converted; out-of-tree ones will get caught
by the compiler ('s_d_op' is renamed, so stores to it will be
caught). 's_d_flags' is set by the same primitive to match the
's_d_op'.
- a lot of filesystems had sb->s_d_op->d_delete equal to
always_delete_dentry; that is equivalent to setting
DCACHE_DONTCACHE in 'd_flags', so such filesystems can bloody well
set that bit in 's_d_flags' and drop 'd_delete()' from
dentry_operations.
In quite a few cases that results in empty dentry_operations, which
means that we can get rid of those.
- kill simple_dentry_operations - not needed anymore
- massage d_alloc_parallel() to get rid of the other exception wrt
'd_flags' stores - we can set DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP as soon as we
allocate the new dentry; no need to delay that until we commit to
using the sucker.
As the result, 'd_flags' stores are all either under ->d_lock or done
before the dentry becomes visible in any shared data structures"

"We now support metadata compression. It can be useful for embedded use
cases or archiving a large number of small files.
Additionally, readdir performance has been improved by enabling
readahead (note that it was already common practice for ext3/4 non-dx
and f2fs directories). We may consider further improvements later to
align with ext4's s_inode_readahead_blks behavior for slow devices
too.
The remaining commits are minor.

- Add support for metadata compression
- Enable readahead for directories to improve readdir performance
- Minor fixes and cleanups"

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"A number of usability and feature updates, scattered performance
improvements and fixes. Highlight of the core changes is getting
closer to enabling large folios (now behind a config option).
User visible changes:
- update defrag ioctl, add new flag to request no compression on
existing extents
- restrict writes to block devices after mount
- in experimental config, enable large folios for data, almost
complete but not widely tested
- add stats tracking duration of critical section in transaction
commit to /sys/fs/btrfs/FSID/commit_stats
Performance improvements:
- caching of lookup results of free space bitmap (20% runtime
improvement on an empty file creation benchmark)
- accessors to metadata (b-tree items) simplified and optimized,
minor improvement in metadata-heavy workloads
- readahead on compressed data improves sequential read
- the xarray for extent buffers is indexed by denser keys, leading to
better packing of the nodes (50-70% reduction of leaf nodes)
Notable fixes:
- stricter compression mount option parsing
- send properly emits fallocate command for file holes when protocol
v2 is used
- fix overallocation of chunks with mount option 'ssd_spread', due to
interaction with size classes not finding the right chunk
(workaround: manual reclaim by 'usage' balance filter)
- various quota enable/disable races with rescan, more verbose
notifications about inconsistent state
- populate otime in tree-log during log replay
- handle ENOSPC when NOCOW file is used with mmap()
Core:
- large data folios enabled in experimental config
- improved error handling, transaction abort call sites
- in zoned mode, allocate reloc block group on mount to make sure
there's always one available for zone reclaim under heavy load
- rework device opening, they're always open as read-only and delayed
until the super block is created, allowing the restricted writes
after mount
- preparatory work for adding blk_holder_ops, allowing device
freeze/thaw in the future
Cleanups, refactoring:
- type and naming unifications (int/bool, return variables)
- rb-tree helper refactoring and simplifications
- reorder memory allocations to less critical places
- RCU string (used for device name) refactoring and API removal
- replace all remaining use of strcpy()"

Pull timer fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"A single fix for the PTP systemcounter mechanism:
The rework of this mechanism added a 'use_nsec' member to struct
system_counterval. get_device_system_crosststamp() instantiates that
struct on the stack and hands a pointer to the driver callback.
Only the drivers which set use_nsec to true, initialize that field,
but all others ignore it. As get_device_system_crosststamp() does not
initialize the struct, the use_nsec field contains random stack
content in those cases. That causes a miscalulation usually resulting
in a failing range check in the best case.
Initialize the structure before handing it to the drivers to cure
that"

After commit d5c8d6e0fa ("kbuild: Update assembler calls to use proper
flags and language target"), which updated as-instr to use the
'assembler-with-cpp' language option, the Kbuild version of as-instr
always fails internally for arch/arm with
<command-line>: fatal error: asm/unified.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
because '-include' flags are now taken into account by the compiler
driver and as-instr does not have '$(LINUXINCLUDE)', so unified.h is not
found.
This went unnoticed at the time of the Kbuild change because the last
use of as-instr in Kbuild that arch/arm could reach was removed in 5.7
by commit 541ad0150c ("arm: Remove 32bit KVM host support") but a
stable backport of the Kbuild change to before that point exposed this
potential issue if one were to be reintroduced.
Follow the general pattern of '-include' paths throughout the tree and
make unified.h absolute using '$(srctree)' to ensure KBUILD_AFLAGS can
be used independently.

When flushing the btree write buffer, we pull write buffer keys directly
from the journal instead of letting the journal write path copy them to
the write buffer.
When flushing from the currently open journal buffer, we have to block
new reservations and wait for outstanding reservations to complete.
Recheck the reservation state after blocking new reservations:
previously, we were checking the reservation count from before calling
__journal_block().

A warning is raised when __request_region() detects a conflict with a
resource whose resource.desc is IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY.
But this warning is only valid for iomem_resources.
The hmem device resource uses resource.desc as the numa node id, which can
cause spurious warnings.
This warning appeared on a machine with multiple cxl memory expanders.
One of the NUMA node id is 6, which is the same as the value of
IORES_DESC_DEVICE_PRIVATE_MEMORY.
In this environment it was just a spurious warning, but when I saw the
warning I suspected a real problem so it's better to fix it.
This change fixes this by restricting the warning to only iomem_resource.
This also adds a missing new line to the warning message.
