Merge tag 'vfs-6.17-rc6.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "fuse:

   - Prevent opening of non-regular backing files.

     Fuse doesn't support non-regular files anyway.

   - Check whether copy_file_range() returns a larger size than
     requested.

   - Prevent overflow in copy_file_range() as fuse currently only
     supports 32-bit sized copies.

   - Cache the blocksize value if the server returned a new value as
     inode->i_blkbits isn't modified directly anymore.

   - Fix i_blkbits handling for iomap partial writes.

     By default i_blkbits is set to PAGE_SIZE which causes iomap to mark
     the whole folio as uptodate even on a partial write. But fuseblk
     filesystems support choosing a blocksize smaller than PAGE_SIZE
     risking data corruption. Simply enforce PAGE_SIZE as blocksize for
     fuseblk's internal inode for now.

   - Prevent out-of-bounds acces in fuse_dev_write() when the number of
     bytes to be retrieved is truncated to the fc->max_pages limit.

  virtiofs:

   - Fix page faults for DAX page addresses.

  Misc:

   - Tighten file handle decoding from userns.

     Check that the decoded dentry itself has a valid idmapping in the
     user namespace.

   - Fix mount-notify selftests.

   - Fix some indentation errors.

   - Add an FMODE_ flag to indicate IOCB_HAS_METADATA availability.

     This will be moved to an FOP_* flag with a bit more rework needed
     for that to happen not suitable for a fix.

   - Don't silently ignore metadata for sync read/write.

   - Don't pointlessly log warning when reading coredump sysctls"

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.
