Pull more misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Optimize close_range() from O(range size) to O(active FDs) by using
find_next_bit() on the open_fds bitmap instead of linearly scanning
the entire requested range. This is a significant improvement for
large-range close operations on sparse file descriptor tables.
- Add FS_XFLAG_VERITY file attribute for fs-verity files, retrievable
via FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and file_getattr(). The flag is read-only.
Add tracepoints for fs-verity enable and verify operations,
replacing the previously removed debug printk's.
- Prevent nfsd from exporting special kernel filesystems like pidfs
and nsfs. These filesystems have custom ->open() and ->permission()
export methods that are designed for open_by_handle_at(2) only and
are incompatible with nfsd. Update the exportfs documentation
accordingly.
Fixes:
- Fix KMSAN uninit-value in ovl_fill_real() where strcmp() was used
on a non-null-terminated decrypted directory entry name from
fscrypt. This triggered on encrypted lower layers when the
decrypted name buffer contained uninitialized tail data.
The fix also adds VFS-level name_is_dot(), name_is_dotdot(), and
name_is_dot_dotdot() helpers, replacing various open-coded "." and
".." checks across the tree.
- Fix read-only fsflags not being reset together with xflags in
vfs_fileattr_set(). Currently harmless since no read-only xflags
overlap with flags, but this would cause inconsistencies for any
future shared read-only flag
- Return -EREMOTE instead of -ESRCH from PIDFD_GET_INFO when the
target process is in a different pid namespace. This lets userspace
distinguish "process exited" from "process in another namespace",
matching glibc's pidfd_getpid() behavior
Cleanups:
- Use C-string literals in the Rust seq_file bindings, replacing the
kernel::c_str!() macro (available since Rust 1.77)
- Fix typo in d_walk_ret enum comment, add porting notes for the
readlink_copy() calling convention change"

Pull pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:
- pid: introduce task_ppid_vnr() helper
- pidfs: convert rb-tree to rhashtable
Mateusz reported performance penalties during task creation because
pidfs uses pidmap_lock to add elements into the rbtree. Switch to an
rhashtable to have separate fine-grained locking and to decouple from
pidmap_lock moving all heavy manipulations outside of it
Also move inode allocation outside of pidmap_lock. With this there's
nothing happening for pidfs under pidmap_lock

This patch implements delayed allocation (delalloc) in ntfs3 driver.
It introduces an in-memory delayed-runlist (run_da) and the helpers to
track, reserve and later convert those delayed reservations into real
clusters at writeback time. The change keeps on-disk formats untouched and
focuses on pagecache integration, correctness and safe interaction with
fallocate, truncate, and dio/iomap paths.
Key points:
- add run_da (delay-allocated run tree) and bookkeeping for delayed clusters.
- mark ranges as delalloc (DELALLOC_LCN) instead of immediately allocating.
Actual allocation performed later (writeback / attr_set_size_ex / explicit
flush paths).
- direct i/o / iomap paths updated to avoid dio collisions with
delalloc: dio falls back or forces allocation of delayed blocks before
proceeding.
- punch/collapse/truncate/fallocate check and cancel delay-alloc reservations.
Sparse/compressed files handled specially.
- free-space checks updated (ntfs_check_free_space) to account for reserved
delalloc clusters and MFT record budgeting.
- delayed allocations are committed on last writer (file release) and on
explicit allocation flush paths.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this development cycle, we focused on several key performance
optimizations:
- introducing large folio support to enhance read speeds for
immutable files
- reducing checkpoint=enable latency by flushing only committed dirty
pages
- implementing tracepoints to diagnose and resolve lock priority
inversion.
Additionally, we introduced the packed_ssa feature to optimize the SSA
footprint when utilizing large block sizes.

Enhancements:
- support large folio for immutable non-compressed case
- support non-4KB block size without packed_ssa feature
- optimize f2fs_enable_checkpoint() to avoid long delay
- optimize f2fs_overwrite_io() for f2fs_iomap_begin
- optimize NAT block loading during checkpoint write
- add write latency stats for NAT and SIT blocks in

- pin files do not require sbi->writepages lock for ordering
- avoid f2fs_map_blocks() for consecutive holes in readpages
- flush plug periodically during GC to maximize readahead effect
- add tracepoints to catch lock overheads
- add several sysfs entries to tune internal lock priorities
Fixes:
- fix lock priority inversion issue
- fix incomplete block usage in compact SSA summaries
- fix to show simulate_lock_timeout correctly

Customer reported data corruption in some of their files. It turned
out the client would end up calling cacheless IO functions while
having RHW lease, bypassing the pagecache and then leaving gaps in the
file while writing to it. It was related to concurrent opens changing
the lease state while having writes in flight. Lease breaks and
re-opens due to reconnect could also cause same issue.
Fix this by serialising the lease updates with
cifsInodeInfo::open_file_lock. When handling oplock break, make sure
to use the downgraded oplock value rather than one in cifsInodeinfo as
it could be changed concurrently.

After commit 1ef15fbe67 ("cifs: client: enforce consistent handling

be ignored, allowing cifs.ko to proceed with the mount instead of
baling out.
The problem was related to smb3_handle_conflicting_options() being
called even when an invalid parameter had been parsed, overwriting the
return value of vfs_parse_fs_string() in
smb3_fs_context_parse_monolithic().
Fix this by calling smb3_handle_conflicting_options() only when a
valid mount option has been passed.

- Add a sysfs parameter, err_report_sec, to control how frequently to
log a warning message that file system inconsistency has been
detected (Previously we logged the warning message every 24 hours)
- Avoid unnecessary forced ordered writes when appending to a file
when delayed allocation is enabled
- Defer splitting unwritten extents to I/O completion to improve
write performance of concurrent direct I/O writes to multiple files
- Refactor and add kunit tests to the extent splitting and conversion
code paths
Various Bug Fixes:
- Fix a panic when the debugging DOUBLE_CHECK macro is defined
- Avoid using fast commit for rare and complex file system operations
to make fast commit easier to reason about. This can also avoid
some corner cases that could result in file system inconsistency if
there is a crash between the fast commit before a subsequent full

- Fix memory leaks in error paths
- Fix a false positive reports caused when running stress tests using
mixed huge-page workloads caused by a race between page migration
and bitmap updates
- Fix a potential recursion into file system reclaim when evicting an
inode when fast commit is enabled

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
"Neil Brown and Jeff Layton contributed a dynamic thread pool sizing
mechanism for NFSD. The sunrpc layer now tracks minimum and maximum
thread counts per pool, and NFSD adjusts running thread counts based
on workload: idle threads exit after a timeout when the pool exceeds
its minimum, and new threads spawn automatically when all threads are
busy. Administrators control this behavior via the nfsdctl netlink
interface.
Rick Macklem, FreeBSD NFS maintainer, generously contributed server-
side support for the POSIX ACL extension to NFSv4, as specified in
draft-ietf-nfsv4-posix-acls. This extension allows NFSv4 clients to
get and set POSIX access and default ACLs using native NFSv4
operations, eliminating the need for sideband protocols. The feature
is gated by a Kconfig option since the IETF draft has not yet been
ratified.
Chuck Lever delivered numerous improvements to the xdrgen tool. Error
reporting now covers parsing, AST transformation, and invalid
declarations. Generated enum decoders validate incoming values against
valid enumerator lists. New features include pass-through line support
for embedding C directives in XDR specifications, 16-bit integer
types, and program number definitions. Several code generation issues
were also addressed.
When an administrator revokes NFSv4 state for a filesystem via the
unlock_fs interface, ongoing async COPY operations referencing that
filesystem are now cancelled, with CB_OFFLOAD callbacks notifying
affected clients.
The remaining patches in this pull request are clean-ups and minor
optimizations. Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers, testers,
and bug reporters who participated in the v7.0 NFSD development cycle"

This patch introduces a count parameter to exfat_get_cluster, which
serves as an input parameter for the caller to specify the desired
number of clusters, and as an output parameter to store the length
of consecutive clusters.
This patch can improve read performance by reducing the number of
get_block calls in sequential read scenarios. speacially in small
cluster size.
According to my test data, the performance improvement is
approximately 10% when read FAT_CHAIN file with 512 bytes of
cluster size.

Change exfat_cache_lookup to return the cluster number of the last
cluster before the next cache (i.e., the end of the current cache range)
or the given 'end' if there is no next cache. This allows the caller to
know whether the next cluster after the current cache is cached.
The function signature is changed to accept an 'end' parameter, which
is the upper bound of the search range. The function now stops early
if it finds a cache that starts within the current cache's tail, meaning
caches are contiguous. The return value is the cluster number at which
the next cache starts (minus one) or the original 'end' if no next cache
is found.
The new behavior is illustrated as follows:
cache: [ccccccc-------ccccccccc]
search: [..................]
return: ^

This patch introduces a parameter 'count' to support fetching multiple
clusters in exfat_map_cluster. The returned 'count' indicates the number
of consecutive clusters, or 0 when the input cluster offset is past EOF.
And the 'count' is also an input parameter for the caller to specify the
required number of clusters.
Only NO_FAT_CHAIN files enable multi-cluster fetching in this patch.
