Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:

 - netfs:

    - fix the decision when to disallow write-streaming with fscache in
      use, handling of asynchronous cache object creation, a double fput
      in cachefiles, clearing S_KERNEL_FILE without the inode lock held,
      page extraction bugs in the iov_iter helpers (a potential
      underflow, a missing allocation failure check, a memory leak, and
      a folio offset miscalculation), writeback error and ENOMEM
      handling, DIO write retry for filesystems without a
      ->prepare_write() method, and the replacement of the wb_lock mutex
      with a bit lock plus writethrough collection offload so that
      multiple asynchronous writebacks don't interfere with each other.

    - Fix the barriering when walking the netfs subrequest list during
      retries as it was possible to see a subrequest that was just added
      by the application thread.

 - iomap:

    - Change iomap to submit read bios after each extent instead of
      building them up across extents. The old behavior was considered
      problematic for a while and now caused an actual erofs bug.

    - Guard the ioend io_size EOF trim in iomap against underflow when a
      concurrent truncate moves EOF below the start of the ioend,
      wrapping io_size to a huge value.

 - overlayfs

    - Fix a stale overlayfs comment about the locking order.

    - Store the linked-in upper dentry instead of the disconnected
      O_TMPFILE dentry during overlayfs tmpfile copy-up. With a FUSE or
      virtiofs upper layer ->d_revalidate() would try to look up "/" in
      the workdir and fail, causing persistent ESTALE errors that broke
      dpkg and apt.

 - vfs-bpf:

   Have the bpf_real_data_inode() kfunc take a struct file instead of a
   dentry so it is usable from the bprm_check_security, mmap_file, and
   file_mprotect hooks, and rename it from bpf_real_inode() to make the
   data-inode semantics explicit. The kfunc landed this cycle so the
   change is safe.

 - afs:

   NULL pointer dereferences in the callback service and in
   afs_get_tree(), several memory and refcount leaks, missing locking
   around the dynamic root inode numbers and premature cell exposure
   through /afs, a netns destruction hang caused by a misplaced
   increment of net->cells_outstanding, a bulk lookup malfunction caused
   by the dir_emit() API change, inode (re)initialisation issues, and
   assorted smaller fixes to error codes, seqlock handling, and debug
   output.

 - vfs:

   Refuse O_TMPFILE creation with an unmapped fsuid or fsgid and add a
   selftest for it.

 - vboxsf:

   Add Jori Koolstra as vboxsf maintainer, taking over from Hans de
   Goede.

 - dio:

   Release the pages attached to a short atomic dio bio; the REQ_ATOMIC
   size check error path leaked them.

 - procfs:

   Only bump the parent directory link count when registering
   directories in procfs. Registering regular files inflated the count
   and leaked a link on every create and remove cycle.

 - minix:

   Avoid an unsigned overflow in the minix bitmap block count
   calculation that let crafted images with huge inode or zone counts
   pass superblock validation and crash the kernel during mount.

 - cachefiles:

   Fix a double unlock in the cachefiles nomem_d_alloc error path left
   over from the start_creating() conversion.

 - fat:

   Stop fat from reading directory entries past the 0x00
   end-of-directory marker. If the trailing on-disk slots aren't
   zero-filled the driver surfaced arbitrary garbage as directory
   entries.

 - freexvfs:

   Don't BUG() on unknown typed-extent types in freevxfs, reachable via
   ioctl(FIBMAP) on a crafted image; fail with an I/O error instead.

 - orangefs:

   Keep the readdir entry size 64-bit in orangefs fill_from_part().
   Truncating it to __u32 bypassed the bounds check and led to
   out-of-bounds reads triggerable by the userspace client.

 - xfs:

   Fix the error unwind in xfs_open_devices() which released the rt
   device file twice and left dangling buftarg pointers behind that were
   freed again when the failed mount was torn down.

 - exec:

   Fix an off-by-one in the comment documenting the maximum binfmt
   rewrite depth in exec_binprm(). The code allows five rewrites, not
   four; restricting the code would break userspace so the comment is
   fixed instead.

 - file handles:

   Reject detached mounts in capable_wrt_mount(). A detached mount can
   be dissolved concurrently, leaving a NULL mount namespace that
   open_by_handle_at() would dereference.
