Hey Linus, /* Summary */ This contains the usual miscellaneous fixes and cleanups for vfs and individual fses: Fixes ===== * Revert ki_pos on error from buffered writes for direct io fallback * Add missing documentation for block device and superblock handling for changes merged this cycle. * Fix reiserfs flexible array usage * Ensure that overlayfs sets ctime when setting mtime and atime. * Disable deferred caller completions with overlayfs writes until proper support exists. Cleanups ======== * Remove duplicate initialization in pipe code. * Annotate aio kioctx_table with __counted_by. /* Testing */ clang: Ubuntu clang version 15.0.7 gcc: (Ubuntu 12.2.0-3ubuntu1) 12.2.0 All patches are based on v6.5-rc1 and have been sitting in linux-next. No build failures or warnings were observed. xfstests pass without 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.
