Merge tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.directory.delegations' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull directory delegations update from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work for recall-only directory delegations for
knfsd.
Add support for simple, recallable-only directory delegations. This
was decided at the fall NFS Bakeathon where the NFS client and server
maintainers discussed how to merge directory delegation support.
The approach starts with recallable-only delegations for several reasons:
1. RFC8881 has gaps that are being addressed in RFC8881bis. In
particular, it requires directory position information for
CB_NOTIFY callbacks, which is difficult to implement properly
under Linux. The spec is being extended to allow that information
to be omitted.
2. Client-side support for CB_NOTIFY still lags. The client side
involves heuristics about when to request a delegation.
3. Early indication shows simple, recallable-only delegations can
help performance. Anna Schumaker mentioned seeing a multi-minute
speedup in xfstests runs with them enabled.
With these changes, userspace can also request a read lease on a
directory that will be recalled on conflicting accesses. This may be
useful for applications like Samba. Users can disable leases
altogether via the fs.leases-enable sysctl if needed.
VFS changes:
- Dedicated Type for Delegations
Introduce struct delegated_inode to track inodes that may have
delegations that need to be broken. This replaces the previous
approach of passing raw inode pointers through the delegation
breaking code paths, providing better type safety and clearer
semantics for the delegation machinery.
- Break parent directory delegations in open(..., O_CREAT) codepath
- Allow mkdir to wait for delegation break on parent
- Allow rmdir to wait for delegation break on parent
- Add try_break_deleg calls for parents to vfs_link(), vfs_rename(),
and vfs_unlink()
- Make vfs_create(), vfs_mknod(), and vfs_symlink() break delegations
on parent directory
- Clean up argument list for vfs_create()
- Expose delegation support to userland
Filelock changes:
- Make lease_alloc() take a flags argument
- Rework the __break_lease API to use flags
- Add struct delegated_inode
- Push the S_ISREG check down to ->setlease handlers
- Lift the ban on directory leases in generic_setlease
NFSD changes:
- Allow filecache to hold S_IFDIR files
- Allow DELEGRETURN on directories
- Wire up GET_DIR_DELEGATION handling
Fixes:
- Fix kernel-doc warnings in __fcntl_getlease
- Add needed headers for new struct delegation definition"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
