Hey Linus,
/* Summary */
This contains various fixes for this cycle:
- Fix fsnotify FMODE_NONOTIFY* handling.
This also disables fsnotify on all pseudo files by default apart from
very selection exceptions. This carries a regression risk so we need
to watch out and adapt accordingly. However, it is overall a
significant improvement over the current status quo where every rando
file can get fsnotify enabled.
- Cleanup and simplify lockref_init() after recent lockref changes.
- Fix vboxfs build with gcc-15.
- Add an assert into inode_set_cached_link() to catch corrupt links.
- Allow users to also use an empty string check to detect whether a
given mount option string was empty or not.
- Fix how security options were appended to statmount()'s ->mnt_opt field.
- Fix statmount() selftests to always check the returned mask.
- Fix uninitialized value in vfs_statx_path().
- Fix pidfs_ioctl() sanity checks to guard against ioctl() overloading
and preserve extensibility.
