09ca8dc7d6 f2fs-for-7.2-rc1 
In this round, the changes primarily focus on filesystem error reporting,
 reducing memory footprint by reverting in-memory data structures used for
 runtime validation, honoring FDP hints, and adding trace and debug logs.
 In addition, there are critical bug fixes resolving out-of-bounds read
 vulnerabilities in inline directory and ACL handling, potential deadlocks
 in balance_fs, use-after-free issues in atomic writes, and false data/node
 type assignments in large sections.
 
 Enhancement:
  - Revert  in-memory sit version and block bitmaps
  - support to report fserror
  - add trace_f2fs_fault_report
  - add iostat latency tracking for direct IO
  - add logs in f2fs_disable_checkpoint()
  - honor per-I/O write streams for direct writes
  - map data writes to FDP streams
  - skip inode folio lookup for cached overwrite
  - skip direct I/O iostat context when disabled
  - revert "check in-memory block bitmap"
  - revert "check in-memory sit version bitmap"
 
 Bug fix:
  - optimize representative type determination in GC
  - fix incorrect FI_NO_EXTENT handling in __destroy_extent_node()
  - fix potential deadlock in f2fs_balance_fs()
  - fix potential deadlock in gc_merge path of f2fs_balance_fs()
  - atomic: fix UAF issue on f2fs_inode_info.atomic_inode
  - fix missing read bio submission on large folio error
  - pass correct iostat type for single node writes
  - fix to do sanity check on f2fs_get_node_folio_ra()
  - validate orphan inode entry count
  - keep atomic write retry from zeroing original data
  - read COW data with the original inode during atomic write
  - validate inline dentry name lengths before conversion
  - validate dentry name length before lookup compares it
  - reject setattr size changes on large folio files
  - revert "remove non-uptodate folio from the page cache in move_data_block"
  - validate ACL entry sizes in f2fs_acl_from_disk()
  - bound i_inline_xattr_size for non-inline-xattr inodes
  - fix listxattr handling of corrupted xattr entries
  - fix to round down start offset of fallocate for pin file

Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
 "The most notable change is the removal of the fscache backend: it has
  been deprecated for almost two years, mainly because EROFS file-backed
  mounts and fanotify pre-content hooks (together with erofs-utils) now
  provide better functionality and simpler codebase. In addition,
  fscache has depended on netfslib for years, which is undesirable for
  EROFS since it is a local filesystem. More details in [1].

  In addition, sparse support has been added to the pcluster layout,
  which is helpful for large sparse AI datasets, and map requests for
  chunk-based inodes have been optimized to be more efficient as well.
  There are also the usual fixes and cleanups.

  Summary:

   - Report more consecutive chunks of the same type for
     each iomap request

   - Add sparse support for the pcluster layout

   - Update the EROFS documentation overview

   - Remove the deprecated fscache backend

   - Various fixes and cleanups"

c37460cd9b erofs: remove fscache backend entirely 
EROFS over fscache was introduced to provide image lazy pulling
functionality. After the feature landed, the fscache subsystem made
netfs a new hard dependency, which is unexpected for a local filesystem
and has an kernel-defined caching hierarchy which could be inflexible
compared to the fanotify pre-content hooks. Therefore, this feature has
been deprecated for almost two years.

As EROFS file-backed mounts and fanotify pre-content hooks both upstream
for a while and already providing equivalent functionality (erofs-utils
has supported fanotify pre-content hooks), let's remove the fscache
backend now.

The main application of this feature is Nydus [1], and they plan to move
to use fanotify pre-content hooks in the near future too.

I hope this patch can be merged into Linux 7.2, which is also motivated
by newly found implementation issues [2][3] that are not worth
investigating given the deprecation and limited development resources.
The associated fscache/cachefiles cleanup patch will follow separately
through the vfs tree (netfs) later: it seems fine since the codebase is
isolated by CONFIG_CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND.

1bc1885835 Asides of the avalanche of LLM-driven fixes, there are a couple of 
big changes this cycle:
 
 - negative dentry and symlink cache
 - a way out of the unkillable "io_wait_event_killable" (because it
   looped around waiting for the request flush to come back from
   server; this has been bugging syzcaller folks since forever):
   I'm still not 100% sure about this patch, but I think it's as
   good as we'll ever get, and will keep testing a bit further in the
   coming weeks
 
 The rest is more noisy than usual, but shouldn't cause any trouble.

5670a84b5c 9p: Add mount option for negative dentry cache retention 
Introduce a new mount option, negtimeout, for v9fs that allows users
to specify how long negative dentries are retained in the cache. The
retention time can be set in milliseconds (e.g. negtimeout=10000 for
a 10secs retention time) or a negative value (e.g. negtimeout=-1) to
keep negative entries until the buffer cache management removes them.

For consistency reasons, this option should only be used in exclusive
or read-only mount scenarios, aligning with the cache=loose usage.

    validation for attributes, attribute lists, index roots and entries,
    EA entries, mapping pairs, and $LogFile restart areas. These changes
    fix several out-of-bounds access, integer overflow, and inconsistent
    metadata handling issues.
  - Preventing a writeback deadlock involving extent MFT records
  - Fixing resource leaks in fill_super() failure paths and the name cache
  - Serializing volume label access and improving its error handling
  - Fixing mapping-pairs decoding bounds and LCN overflow checks
  - Keeping resident index root metadata consistent during resize
  - Fixing the reported size of symbolic links
  - Avoiding an unnecessary allocation for resident inline data
  - Adds support for following and creating Windows native symbolic links.
    Relative links, absolute links, and junctions are handled, with new
    mount options controlling native symlink creation and absolute target
    translation. The existing WSL symlink behavior remains the default.
  - The unsupported quota code is removed, along with several smaller
    cleanups.

 - Revamp fs/filesystems.c

   The file was a mess with a hand-rolled linked list in desperate need
   of a cleanup. The filesystems list is now RCU-ified, /proc files can
   be marked permanent from outside fs/proc/, and the string emitted
   when reading /proc/filesystems is pre-generated and cached instead of
   pointer-chasing and printfing entry by entry on every read.

   The file is read frequently because libselinux reads it and is linked
   into numerous frequently used programs (even ones you would not
   suspect, like sed!). Scalability also improves since reference
   maintenance on open/close is bypassed.

    open+read+close cycle single-threaded (ops/s):
      before: 442732
      after:  1063462 (+140%)

    open+read+close cycle with 20 processes (ops/s):
      before: 606177
      after:  3300576 (+444%)

   A follow-up patch adds missing unlocks in some corner cases and
   tidies things up.

 - Relax the mount visibility check for subset=pid mounts

   When procfs is mounted with subset=pid, all static files become
   unavailable and only the dynamic pid information is accessible. In
   that case there is no point in imposing the full mount visibility
   restrictions on the mounter - everything that can be hidden in procfs
   is already inaccessible. These restrictions prevented procfs from
   being mounted inside rootless containers since almost all container
   implementations overmount parts of procfs to hide certain
   directories.

   As part of this /proc/self/net is only shown in subset=pid mounts for
   CAP_NET_ADMIN, reconfiguring subset=pid is rejected, the
   SB_I_USERNS_VISIBLE superblock flag is replaced with an
   FS_USERNS_MOUNT_RESTRICTED filesystem flag, fully visible mounts are
   recorded in a list, and the mount restrictions are finally
   documented.

 - Protect ptrace_may_access() with exec_update_lock in procfs

   Most uses of ptrace_may_access() in procfs should hold
   exec_update_lock to avoid TOCTOU issues with concurrent privileged
   execve() (like setuid binary execution).

   This fixes the easy cases - the owner and visibility checks and the
   FD link permission checks - with the gnarlier ones to follow later.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the
     lock in anon_pipe_write().

     anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding
     pipe->mutex. The allocation can sleep doing direct reclaim and runs
     memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any
     concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are
     pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled
     into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder
     is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical
     section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB
     writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average
     write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of
     holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves
     21-48% and latency drops 17-33%. The microbenchmark is added to
     selftests.

   - uaccess/sockptr: fix the ignored_trailing logic in
     copy_struct_to_user() to behave as documented and the usize check
     in copy_struct_from_sockptr() for user pointers, and add
     copy_struct_{from,to}_bounce_buffer() and copy_struct_to_sockptr()
     helpers for upcoming users (IPPROTO_SMBDIRECT, IPPROTO_QUIC).

   - bpf: add a sleepable bpf_real_inode() kfunc that resolves the real
     inode backing a dentry via d_real_inode(). On overlayfs the inode
     attached to the dentry doesn't carry the underlying device
     information; this is used by the filesystem restriction BPF program
     that was merged into systemd.

   - docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems, motivated by
     the maintenance burden abandoned and untestable filesystems impose
     on VFS developers, blocking infrastructure work like folio
     conversions and iomap migration.

  Fixes:

   - libfs: set SB_I_NOEXEC and SB_I_NODEV by default in init_pseudo()
     and drop the now-redundant assignments in callers. This began as a
     one-line dma-buf fix for a path_noexec() warning; a pseudo
     filesystem has no reason not to set SB_I_NOEXEC. All init_pseudo()
     callers were audited: the only visible effect is on dma-buf where
     SB_I_NOEXEC silences the warning.

   - Handle set_blocksize() failures in legacy filesystems (bfs, hpfs,
     qnx4, jfs, befs, affs, isofs, minix, ntfs3, omfs). Mounting a
     device with a sector size > PAGE_SIZE crashed roughly half of them;
     the rest had the same missing error handling pattern. Plus a
     follow-up releasing the superblock buffer_head when setting the
     minix v3 block size fails.

   - mount: honour SB_NOUSER in the new mount API.

   - fs/fcntl: fix a SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling by
     switching the process-group paths of send_sigio() and send_sigurg()
     from read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to RCU, matching the single-PID
     path.

   - vfs: add an FS_USERNS_DELEGATABLE flag and set it for NFS, fixing
     delegated NFS mounts (fsopen() in a container with the mount
     performed by a privileged daemon) that broke when non-init
     s_user_ns was tied to FS_USERNS_MOUNT.

   - selftests/namespaces: fix a hang in nsid_test where an unreaped
     grandchild kept the TAP pipe write-end open, a waitpid(-1) race in
     listns_efault_test, and a false FAIL on kernels without listns()
     where the tests should SKIP.

   - filelock: fix the break_lease() stub signature for
     CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING=n.

   - init/initramfs_test: wait for the async initramfs unpacking before
     running; the test and do_populate_rootfs() share the parser state.

   - fs/coredump: reduce redundant log noise in
     validate_coredump_safety().

   - iomap: pass the correct length to fserror_report_io() in
     __iomap_write_begin().

   - backing-file: fix the backing_file_open() kerneldoc.

  Cleanups:

   - initramfs: refactor the cpio hex header parsing to use hex2bin()
     instead of the hand-rolled simple_strntoul() which is reverted, and
     extend the initramfs KUnit tests to cover header fields with 0x
     prefixes.

   - Replace __get_free_pages() and friends with kmalloc()/kzalloc()
     across quota, proc, ocfs2/dlm, nilfs2, nfs, nfsd, libfs, jfs, jbd2,
     isofs, fuse, select, namespace, configfs, binfmt_misc, bfs, and the
     do_mounts init code - part of the larger work of replacing page
     allocator calls with kmalloc().

   - Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in unlock_buffer() and
     journal_end_buffer_io_sync() instead of open-coding the sequence.

   - Drop unused VFS exports: unexport drop_super_exclusive(), remove
     start_removing_user_path_at(), and fold __start_removing_path()
     into start_removing_path().

   - fs/read_write: narrow the __kernel_write() export with
     EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_MODULES().

   - vfs: uapi: retire octal and hex constants in favor of (1 << n) for
     the O_ flags. Finding a free bit for a new flag across the
     architectures was needlessly hard with the mixed bases.

   - dcache: add extra sanity checks of dead dentries in dentry_free()
     via a new DENTRY_WARN_ONCE() that also prints d_flags.

   - iov_iter: use kmemdup_array() in dup_iter() to harden the
     allocation against multiplication overflow.

   - fs/pipe: write to ->poll_usage only once.

   - vfs: remove an always-taken if-branch in find_next_fd().

   - dcache: use kmalloc_flex() for struct external_name in __d_alloc().

   - namei: use QSTR() instead of QSTR_INIT() in path_pts().

   - sync_file_range: delete dead S_ISLNK code.

   - Comment fixes: retire a stale comment in fget_task_next() and fix
     assorted spelling mistakes"

Pull buffer_head updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This removes b_end_io from struct buffer_head.

  Instead of setting bio->bi_end_io to end_bio_bh_io_sync() which then
  calls bh->b_end_io(), the new bh_submit() and __bh_submit() interfaces
  set bio->bi_end_io to the appropriate completion handler directly,
  replacing two indirect function calls in the completion path with one.
  It is also one fewer function pointer in the middle of a writable data
  structure that can be corrupted, it shrinks struct buffer_head from
  104 to 96 bytes allowing roughly 7% more buffer_heads to be cached in
  the same amount of memory, and it removes some atomic operations as
  the buffer refcount is no longer incremented before calling the end_io
  handler.

0e0e490f5d VFS: use wait_var_event for waiting in d_alloc_parallel() 
Parallel lookup starts with a call of d_alloc_parallel().  That primitive
either returns a matching hashed dentry or allocates a new one in the
in-lookup state and returns it to the caller.  Once the caller is done
with lookup, it indicates so either by call of d_{splice_alias,add}()
or by call of d_done_lookup(); at that point dentry leaves the in-lookup
state.

If d_alloc_parallel() finds a matching in-lookup dentry, it must wait for
that dentry to leave the in-lookup state, one way or another.  Currently
by supplying wait_queue_head to d_alloc_parallel().  If d_alloc_parallel()
creates a new in-lookup dentry, the address of that wait_queue_head is stored
in ->d_wait of new dentry and stays there while it's in the in-lookup;
subsequent d_alloc_parallel() will wait on the queue found in the matching
in-lookup dentry.  Transition out of in-lookup state wakes waiters on that
queue (if any).

That works, but the calling conventions are inconvenient - the caller must
supply wait_queue_head and make sure that it survives at least until the new
in-lookup dentry leaves the in-lookup state.  That amounts to boilerplate
in the d_alloc_parallel() callers that are followed by a call of d_lookup_done()
in the same function; in cases like nfs asynchronous unlink it gets worse than
that.

This patch changes d_alloc_parallel() to use wake_up_var_locked() to
wake up waiters, and wait_var_event_spinlock() to wait.  dentry->d_lock
is used for synchronisation as it is already held and the relevant
times.

That eliminates the need of caller-supplied wait_queue_head, simplifying
the calling conventions.  Better yet, we only need one bit of information
stored in dentry itself: whether there are any waiters to be woken up,
and that can be easily stored in ->d_flags; ->d_wait goes away.

The reason we need that bit (DCACHE_LOOKUP_WAITERS) is that with wait_var
machinery the queues are shared with all kinds of stuff and there's
no way tell if any of the waiters have anything to do with our dentry;
most of the time none of them will be relevant, so we need to avoid the
pointless wakeups.

Another benefit of the new scheme comes from the fact that wakeups
have to be done outside of write-side critical areas of ->i_dir_seq;
with the old scheme we need to carry the value picked from ->d_wait from
__d_lookup_unhash() to the place where we actually wake the waiters up.
Now we can just leave DCACHE_LOOKUP_WAITERS in ->d_flags until we get
to doing wakeups - that's done within the same ->d_lock scope, so we
are fine; new bit is accessed only under ->d_lock and it's seen only
on dentries with DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP in ->d_flags.

__d_lookup_unhash() no longer needs to re-init ->d_lru.  That was
previously shared (in a union) with ->d_wait but ->d_wait is now gone
so it no longer corrupts ->d_lru.

buffer: Remove b_end_io 
This shrinks buffer_head by 8 bytes, letting us pack more buffer heads
per slab.  With a Debian config, it shrinks from 104 bytes to 96 bytes
which is 42 objects per 4KiB page rather than 39, a 7% reduction in the
amount of memory used.

e6c8140bd0 f2fs: map data writes to FDP streams 
From: Wenjie Qi <qiwenjie@xiaomi.com>

F2FS already classifies DATA writes using its existing hot, warm and cold
temperature policy, but it only passes that intent down as a write hint.
That hint alone is not sufficient for NVMe FDP placement, because the
current NVMe command path consumes `bio->bi_write_stream` rather than
`bio->bi_write_hint` when selecting a placement ID.

When the target block device exposes write streams, map the existing F2FS
DATA temperature classes onto stream IDs and set `bio->bi_write_stream`
for both buffered and direct writes. If the device exposes no write
streams, keep the current behavior by leaving the stream unset.

The stream mapping is evaluated against the target block device of each
bio, so the existing per-device fallback behavior stays unchanged for
multi-device filesystems. Existing blkzoned restrictions also remain in
place.

The mapping is intentionally small and deterministic:

- 1 stream: hot, warm and cold all use stream 1
- 2 streams: hot/warm use 1, cold uses 2
- 3+ streams: hot uses 1, warm uses 2, cold uses 3

docs: add guidelines for submitting new filesystems 
This document is motivated by the ongoing maintenance burden that
abandoned and untestable filesystems impose on VFS developers, blocking
infrastructure changes such as folio conversions and iomap migration.

This week alone, two new filesystems were proposed on linux-fsdevel
(VMUFAT and FTRFS), highlighting the need for documented guidelines
that new filesystem authors can refer to before submission.

Multiple recent discussions on linux-fsdevel have touched on the
criteria for merging new filesystems and for deprecating old ones,
covering topics such as modern VFS interface adoption, testability,
userspace utilities, maintainer commitment, and user base viability.

Add Documentation/filesystems/adding-new-filesystems.rst describing
the technical requirements and community expectations for merging a
new filesystem into the kernel.  The guidelines cover:
- Alternatives to consider before proposing a new in-kernel filesystem
- Technical requirements: modern VFS interfaces (iomap, folios,
  fs_context mount API), testability, and userspace utilities
- Community expectations: identified maintainers, demonstrated
  commitment, sustained backing, and a clear user base
- Ongoing obligations after merging, including the risk of deprecation
  for unmaintained filesystems

1cfa74c683 fs/resctrl: Document tasks file behaviour for task id 0 and idle tasks 
When 0 is written to the tasks file it is interpreted as the current task in
rdtgroup_move_task(). Each CPU's idle task has task_struct::pid set to 0 and,
on x86, task_struct::closid to RESCTRL_RESERVED_CLOSID and task_struct::rmid
to RESCTRL_RESERVED_RMID.

Equivalently, on MPAM platforms, thread_info::mpam_partid_pmg is encoded with
PARTID and PMG set to RESCTRL_RESERVED_CLOSID and RESCTRL_RESERVED_RMID,
respectively. As there is no interface to change these from the default, the
resctrl configuration for the idle tasks is fixed and they always behave
equivalently to a task in the default tasks file and so take their
configuration from the cpus/cpus_list files.

On read of the tasks file, show_rdt_tasks() filters out any 0 PID. Hence, a
task id of 0 is never shown in the tasks file and the idle tasks are not
represented either.

Document the user visible behaviour.

94a1206522 x86,fs/resctrl: Create 'event_filter' files read only if they're not configurable 
When the counter assignment mode is mbm_event resctrl assumes the MBM
events are configurable and exposes the 'event_filter' files. These files
live at info/L3_MON/event_configs/<event>/event_filter and are used to
display and set the event configuration.

The MPAM architecture has support for configuring the memory bandwidth
utilization (MBWU) counters to only count reads or only count
writes. However, in MPAM, this event filtering support is optional in the
hardware (and not yet implemented in the MPAM driver) but MBM counter
assignment is always possible for MPAM MBWU counters.

In order to support mbm_event mode with MPAM, create the 'event_filter'
files read only if the event configuration can't be changed. A user can
still chmod the file and so also return early with an error from
event_filter_write().

Introduce a new monitor property, mbm_cntr_configurable, to indicate
whether or not assignable MBM counters are configurable. On x86, set this
to true whenever mbm_cntr_assignable is true to keep existing behaviour.

077f097219 Documentation: filesystems: cramfs: correct stale hard-link and endianness claims 
Two paragraphs in cramfs.rst have been misleading for a long time:

 - "Hard links are supported, but hard linked files will still have
   a link count of 1": mkcramfs does not preserve hard links; it
   deduplicates by content (eliminate_doubles()).  Two names for
   the same on-disk inode in the source tree become two separate
   (content-shared) entries in the image, and cramfs always reports
   a link count of 1.

 - "Currently, cramfs must be written and read with architectures of
   the same endianness ... PAGE_SIZE == 4096 ... is a bug, but it
   hasn't been decided what the best fix is": the endianness
   situation has been settled for years -- the kernel checks for
   CRAMFS_MAGIC_WEND in cramfs_fill_super() and refuses the mount,
   and mkcramfs has gained -B / -L for producing images of the
   opposite endianness from the build host (useful for cross-builds,
   but the reader still needs to match).  Restate this accurately.

292a2bcd17 Fixing livelocks in shrink_dcache_tree() 
If shrink_dcache_tree() finds a dentry in the middle of being killed
 by another thread, it has to wait until the victim finishes dying,
 gets detached from the tree and ceases to pin its parent.
 
 The way we used to deal with that amounted to busy-wait; unfortunately,
 it's not just inefficient but can lead to reliably reproducible hard
 livelocks.
 
 Solved by having shrink_dentry_tree() attach a completion to such dentry,
 with dentry_unlist() calling complete() on all objects attached to it.
 With a bit of care it can be done without growing struct dentry or adding
 overhead in normal case.

36d179fd6b NFSD 7.1 Release Notes 
Benjamin Coddington contributed filehandle signing to defend against
 filehandle-guessing attacks. The server now appends a SipHash-2-4
 MAC to each filehandle when the new "sign_fh" export option is
 enabled. NFSD then verifies filehandles received from clients
 against the expected MAC; mismatches return NFS error STALE.
 
 Chuck Lever converted the entire NLMv4 server-side XDR layer from
 hand-written C to xdrgen-generated code, spanning roughly thirty
 patches. XDR functions are generally boilerplate code and are easy
 to get wrong. The goals of this conversion are improved memory
 safety, lower maintenance burden, and groundwork for eventual Rust
 code generation for these functions.
 
 Dai Ngo improved pNFS block/SCSI layout robustness with two related
 changes. SCSI persistent reservation fencing is now tracked per
 client and per device via an xarray, to avoid both redundant preempt
 operations on devices already fenced and a potential NFSD deadlock
 when all nfsd threads are waiting for a layout return.
 
 The remaining patches deliver scalability and infrastructure
 improvements. Sincere thanks to all contributors, reviewers,
 testers, and bug reporters who participated in the v7.1 NFSD
 development cycle.

9a8ea3c1cb docs: proc: document ProtectionKey in smaps 
The ProtectionKey entry was added in v4.9; back then it was x86-specific,
but it now lives in generic code and applies to all architectures
supporting pkeys (currently x86, power, arm64).

Time to document it: add a paragraph to proc.rst about the ProtectionKey
entry.

cdd4dc3aeb Major changes: 
- Write support:
   Implemented full write support based on the classic read-only NTFS
   driver. Added delayed allocation to improve write performance through
   multi-cluster allocation and reduced fragmentation of the cluster
   bitmap.
 
 - iomap conversion:
   Switched buffered IO (reads/writes), direct IO, file extent mapping,
   readpages, and writepages to use iomap.
 
 - Remove buffer_head:
   Completely removed buffer_head usage by converting to folios.
   As a result, the dependency on CONFIG_BUFFER_HEAD has been removed
   from Kconfig.
 
 - Stability improvements:
   The new ntfs driver passes 326 xfstests, compared to 273 for ntfs3.
   All tests passed by ntfs3 are a complete subset of the tests passed
   by this implementation. Added support for fallocate, idmapped mounts,

Pull ntfs resurrection from Namjae Jeon:
 "Ever since Kari Argillander’s 2022 report [1] regarding the state of
  the ntfs3 driver, I have spent the last 4 years working to provide
  full write support and current trends (iomap, no buffer head, folio),
  enhanced performance, stable maintenance, utility support including
  fsck for NTFS in Linux.

  This new implementation is built upon the clean foundation of the
  original read-only NTFS driver, adding:

   - Write support:

     Implemented full write support based on the classic read-only NTFS

2232ba9c79 mm: add gpu active/reclaim per-node stat counters (v2) 
While discussing memcg intergration with gpu memory allocations,
it was pointed out that there was no numa/system counters for
GPU memory allocations.

With more integrated memory GPU server systems turning up, and
more requirements for memory tracking it seems we should start
closing the gap.

Add two counters to track GPU per-node system memory allocations.

The first is currently allocated to GPU objects, and the second
is for memory that is stored in GPU page pools that can be reclaimed,
by the shrinker.

62c65fd740 mm: add mmap_action_map_kernel_pages[_full]() 
A user can invoke mmap_action_map_kernel_pages() to specify that the
mapping should map kernel pages starting from desc->start of a specified
number of pages specified in an array.

In order to implement this, adjust mmap_action_prepare() to be able to
return an error code, as it makes sense to assert that the specified
parameters are valid as quickly as possible as well as updating the VMA
flags to include VMA_MIXEDMAP_BIT as necessary.

This provides an mmap_prepare equivalent of vm_insert_pages().  We
additionally update the existing vm_insert_pages() code to use
range_in_vma() and add a new range_in_vma_desc() helper function for the
mmap_prepare case, sharing the code between the two in range_is_subset().

We add both mmap_action_map_kernel_pages() and
mmap_action_map_kernel_pages_full() to allow for both partial and full VMA
mappings.

We update the documentation to reflect the new features.

Finally, we update the VMA tests accordingly to reflect the changes.

a1b7fb40cb mm: add mmap_action_simple_ioremap() 
Currently drivers use vm_iomap_memory() as a simple helper function for
I/O remapping memory over a range starting at a specified physical address
over a specified length.

In order to utilise this from mmap_prepare, separate out the core logic
into __simple_ioremap_prep(), update vm_iomap_memory() to use it, and add
simple_ioremap_prepare() to do the same with a VMA descriptor object.

We also add MMAP_SIMPLE_IO_REMAP and relevant fields to the struct
mmap_action type to permit this operation also.

We use mmap_action_ioremap() to set up the actual I/O remap operation once
we have checked and figured out the parameters, which makes
simple_ioremap_prepare() easy to implement.

We then add mmap_action_simple_ioremap() to allow drivers to make use of
this mode.

We update the mmap_prepare documentation to describe this mode.  Finally,
we update the VMA tests to reflect this change.

c50ca15dd4 mm: add vm_ops->mapped hook 
Previously, when a driver needed to do something like establish a
reference count, it could do so in the mmap hook in the knowledge that the
mapping would succeed.

With the introduction of f_op->mmap_prepare this is no longer the case, as
it is invoked prior to actually establishing the mapping.

mmap_prepare is not appropriate for this kind of thing as it is called
before any merge might take place, and after which an error might occur
meaning resources could be leaked.

To take this into account, introduce a new vm_ops->mapped callback which
is invoked when the VMA is first mapped (though notably - not when it is
merged - which is correct and mirrors existing mmap/open/close behaviour).

We do better that vm_ops->open() here, as this callback can return an
error, at which point the VMA will be unmapped.

Note that vm_ops->mapped() is invoked after any mmap action is complete
(such as I/O remapping).

We intentionally do not expose the VMA at this point, exposing only the
fields that could be used, and an output parameter in case the operation
needs to update the vma->vm_private_data field.

In order to deal with stacked filesystems which invoke inner filesystem's
mmap() invocations, add __compat_vma_mapped() and invoke it on vfs_mmap()
(via compat_vma_mmap()) to ensure that the mapped callback is handled when
an mmap() caller invokes a nested filesystem's mmap_prepare() callback.

Update the mmap_prepare documentation to describe the mapped hook and make
it clear what its intended use is.

The vm_ops->mapped() call is handled by the mmap complete logic to ensure
the same code paths are handled by both the compatibility and VMA layers.

Additionally, update VMA userland test headers to reflect the change.

fdd2478413 mm: add documentation for the mmap_prepare file operation callback 
This documentation makes it easier for a driver/file system implementer to
correctly use this callback.

It covers the fundamentals, whilst intentionally leaving the less lovely
possible actions one might take undocumented (for instance - the
success_hook, error_hook fields in mmap_action).

The document also covers the new VMA flags implementation which is the
only one which will work correctly with mmap_prepare.

408d8af01f for_each_alias(): helper macro for iterating through dentries of given inode 
Most of the places using d_alias are loops iterating through all aliases for
given inode; introduce a helper macro (for_each_alias(dentry, inode))
and convert open-coded instances of such loop to it.

They are easier to read that way and it reduces the noise on the next steps.

You _must_ hold inode->i_lock over that thing.

d2bf45d067 fs/resctrl: Add "*" shorthand to set io_alloc CBM for all domains 
Configuring the io_alloc_cbm interface requires an explicit domain ID for each
cache domain. On systems with high core counts and numerous cache clusters,
this requirement becomes cumbersome for automation and management tasks that
aim to apply a uniform policy.

Introduce a wildcard domain ID selector "*" for the io_alloc_cbm interface.
This enables users to set the same Capacity Bitmask (CBM) across all cache
domains in a single operation.
