/* Summary */ This contains fixes for this merge window: VFS: - Ensure that backing files uses file->f_ops->splice_write() for splice. netfs: - Revert the removal of PG_private_2 from netfs_release_folio() as cephfs still relies on this. - When AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set on a mapping the folio needs to always be invalidated during truncation. - Fix losing untruncated data in a folio by making letting netfs_release_folio() return false if the folio is dirty. - Fix trimming of streaming-write folios in netfs_inval_folio() . - Reset iterator before retrying a short read. - Fix interaction of streaming writes with zero-point tracker afs: - During truncation afs currently calls truncate_setsize() which sets i_size, expands the pagecache and truncates it. The first two operations aren't needed because they will have already been done. So call truncate_pagecache() instead and skip the redundant parts. overlayfs: - Fix checking of the number of allowed lower layers so 500 layers can actually be used instead of just 499 - Add missing '\n' to pr_err() output. - Pass string to ovl_parse_layer() and thus allow it to be used for Opt_lowerdir as well. pidfd: - Revert blocking the creation of pidfds for kthread as apparently userspace relies on this. Specifically, it breaks systemd during shutdown. romfs: - Fix romfs_read_folio() to use the correct offset with folio_zero_tail(). /* Testing */ Debian clang version 16.0.6 (27+b1) gcc (Debian 14.2.0-1) 14.2.0 /* Conflicts */ No known conflicts.
