      Pull vfs super updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the super work for this cycle including the long-awaited
  series by Jan to make it possible to prevent writing to mounted block
  devices:

   - Writing to mounted devices is dangerous and can lead to filesystem
     corruption as well as crashes. Furthermore syzbot comes with more
     and more involved examples how to corrupt block device under a
     mounted filesystem leading to kernel crashes and reports we can do
     nothing about. Add tracking of writers to each block device and a
     kernel cmdline argument which controls whether other writeable
     opens to block devices open with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES flag are
     allowed.

     Note that this effectively only prevents modification of the
     particular block device's page cache by other writers. The actual
     device content can still be modified by other means - e.g. by
     issuing direct scsi commands, by doing writes through devices lower
     in the storage stack (e.g. in case loop devices, DM, or MD are
     involved) etc. But blocking direct modifications of the block
     device page cache is enough to give filesystems a chance to perform
     data validation when loading data from the underlying storage and
     thus prevent kernel crashes.

     Syzbot can use this cmdline argument option to avoid uninteresting
     crashes. Also users whose userspace setup does not need writing to
     mounted block devices can set this option for hardening. We expect
     that this will be interesting to quite a few workloads.

     Btrfs is currently opted out of this because they still haven't
     merged patches we require for this to work from three kernel
     releases ago.

   - Reimplement block device freezing and thawing as holder operations
     on the block device.

     This allows us to extend block device freezing to all devices
     associated with a superblock and not just the main device. It also
     allows us to remove get_active_super() and thus another function
     that scans the global list of superblocks.

     Freezing via additional block devices only works if the filesystem
     chooses to use @fs_holder_ops for these additional devices as well.
     That currently only includes ext4 and xfs.

     Earlier releases switched get_tree_bdev() and mount_bdev() to use
     @fs_holder_ops. The remaining nilfs2 open-coded version of
     mount_bdev() has been converted to rely on @fs_holder_ops as well.
     So block device freezing for the main block device will continue to
     work as before.

     There should be no regressions in functionality. The only special
     case is btrfs where block device freezing for the main block device
     never worked because sb->s_bdev isn't set. Block device freezing
     for btrfs can be fixed once they can switch to @fs_holder_ops but
     that can happen whenever they're ready"

      Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
  for vfs and individual fses.

  Features:

   - Add Jan Kara as VFS reviewer

   - Show correct device and inode numbers in proc/<pid>/maps for vma
     files on stacked filesystems. This is now easily doable thanks to
     the backing file work from the last cycles. This comes with
     selftests

  Cleanups:

   - Remove a redundant might_sleep() from wait_on_inode()

   - Initialize pointer with NULL, not 0

   - Clarify comment on access_override_creds()

   - Rework and simplify eventfd_signal() and eventfd_signal_mask()
     helpers

   - Process aio completions in batches to avoid needless wakeups

   - Completely decouple struct mnt_idmap from namespaces. We now only
     keep the actual idmapping around and don't stash references to
     namespaces

   - Reformat maintainer entries to indicate that a given subsystem
     belongs to fs/

   - Simplify fput() for files that were never opened

   - Get rid of various pointless file helpers

   - Rename various file helpers

   - Rename struct file members after SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU switch from
     last cycle

   - Make relatime_need_update() return bool

   - Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_USER when allocating superblocks

   - Replace deprecated ida_simple_*() calls with their current ida_*()
     counterparts

  Fixes:

   - Fix comments on user namespace id mapping helpers. They aren't
     kernel doc comments so they shouldn't be using /**

   - s/Retuns/Returns/g in various places

   - Add missing parameter documentation on can_move_mount_beneath()

   - Rename i_mapping->private_data to i_mapping->i_private_data

   - Fix a false-positive lockdep warning in pipe_write() for watch
     queues

   - Improve __fget_files_rcu() code generation to improve performance

   - Only notify writer that pipe resizing has finished after setting
     pipe->max_usage otherwise writers are never notified that the pipe
     has been resized and hang

   - Fix some kernel docs in hfsplus

   - s/passs/pass/g in various places

   - Fix kernel docs in ntfs

   - Fix kcalloc() arguments order reported by gcc 14

   - Fix uninitialized value in reiserfs"

      asm-generic: make sparse happy with odd-sized put_unaligned_*() · 1ab33c03
      Dmitry Torokhov authored 
      __put_unaligned_be24() and friends use implicit casts to convert
larger-sized data to bytes, which trips sparse truncation warnings when
the argument is a constant:

    CC [M]  drivers/input/touchscreen/hynitron_cstxxx.o
    CHECK   drivers/input/touchscreen/hynitron_cstxxx.c
  drivers/input/touchscreen/hynitron_cstxxx.c: note: in included file (through arch/x86/include/generated/asm/unaligned.h):
  include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:119:16: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (aa01a0 becomes a0)
  include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:120:20: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (aa01 becomes 1)
  include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:119:16: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (ab00d0 becomes d0)
  include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:120:20: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (ab00 becomes 0)

To avoid this let's mask off upper bits explicitly, the resulting code
should be exactly the same, but it will keep sparse happy.
