Hey Linus,
/* Summary */
This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and
individual fses.
Features
========
* Support idmapped mounts for hugetlbfs.
* Add RWF_NOAPPEND flag for pwritev2(). This allows to fix a bug where
the passed offset is ignored if the file is O_APPEND. The new flag
allows a caller to enforce that the offset is honored to conform to
posix even if the file was opened in append mode.
* Move i_mmap_rwsem in struct address_space to avoid false sharing
between i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem.
* Convert efs, qnx4, and coda to use the new mount api.
* Add a generic is_dot_dotdot() helper that's used by various
filesystems and the VFS code instead of open-coding it mutliple times.
* Recently we've added stable offsets which allows stable ordering
when iterating directories exported through NFS on e.g., tmpfs
filesystems. Originally an xarray was used for the offset map but that
caused slab fragmentation issues over time. Tis switches the offset
map to the maple tree which has a dense mode that handles this
scenario a lot better. Includes tests.
* Finally merge the case-insensitive improvement series Gabriel has been
working on for a long time. This cleanly propagates case insensitive
operations through ->s_d_op which in turn allows us to remove the
quite ugly generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops() operations. It also
improves performance by trying a case-sensitive comparison first and
then fallback to case-insensitive lookup if that fails. This also
fixes a bug where overlayfs would be able to be mounted over a case
insensitive directory which would lead to all sort of odd behaviors.
Cleanups
========
* Make file_dentry() a simple accessor now that ->d_real() is
simplified because of the backing file work we did the last two
cycles.
* Use the dedicated file_mnt_idmap helper in ntfs3.
* Use smp_load_acquire/store_release() in the i_size_read/write helpers
and thus remove the hack to handle i_size reads in the filemap code.
* The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is a nop now. Remove it from various places in fs/
* It's no longer necessary to perform a second built-in initramfs unpack
call because we retain the contents of the previous extraction. Remove it.
* Now that we have removed various allocators kfree_rcu() always works
with kmem caches and kmalloc(). So simplify various places that only
use an rcu callback in order to handle the kmem cache case.
* Convert the pipe code to use a lockdep comparison function instead of
open-coding the nesting making lockdep validation easier.
* Move code into fs-writeback.c that was located in a header but can be
made static as it's only used in that one file.
* Rewrite the alignment checking iterators for iovec and bvec to be
easier to read, and also significantly more compact in terms of
generated code. This saves 270 bytes of text on x86-64 (with clang-18)
and 224 bytes on arm64 (with gcc-13). In profiles it also saves a bit
of time for the same workload.
* Switch various places to use KMEM_CACHE instead of kmem_cache_create().
* Use inode_set_ctime_to_ts() in inode_set_ctime_current()
* Use kzalloc() in name_to_handle_at() to avoid kernel infoleak.
* Various smaller cleanups for eventfds.
Fixes
=====
* Fix various comments and typos, and unneeded initializations.
* Fix stack allocation hack for clang in the select code.
* Improve dump_mapping() debug code on a best-effort basis.
* Fix build errors in various selftests.
* Avoid wrap-around instrumentation in various places.
* Don't allow user namespaces without an an idmapping written to be used
for idmapped mounts.
* Fix sysv sb_read() call.
* Fix fallback implementation of the get_name() export operation.
