Linus Torvalds 559e608c46 Merge tag 'ntfs3_for_6.19' of https://github.com/Paragon-Software-Group/linux-ntfs3
Pull ntfs3 updates from Konstantin Komarov:
 "New code:
   - support timestamps prior to epoch
   - do not overwrite uptodate pages
   - disable readahead for compressed files
   - setting of dummy blocksize to read boot_block when mounting
   - the run_lock initialization when loading $Extend
   - initialization of allocated memory before use
   - support for the NTFS3_IOC_SHUTDOWN ioctl
   - check for minimum alignment when performing direct I/O reads
   - check for shutdown in fsync

  Fixes:
   - mount failure for sparse runs in run_unpack()
   - use-after-free of sbi->options in cmp_fnames
   - KMSAN uninit bug after failed mi_read in mi_format_new
   - uninit error after buffer allocation by __getname()
   - KMSAN uninit-value in ni_create_attr_list
   - double free of sbi->options->nls and ownership of fc->fs_private
   - incorrect vcn adjustments in attr_collapse_range()
   - mode update when ACL can be reduced to mode
   - memory leaks in add sub record

  Changes:
   - refactor code, updated terminology, spelling
   - do not kmap pages in (de)compression code
   - after ntfs_look_free_mft(), code that fails must put mft_inode
   - default mount options for "acl" and "prealloc"

  Replaced:
   - use unsafe_memcpy() to avoid memcpy size warning
   - ntfs_bio_pages with page cache for compressed files"

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
