      Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "Core:
      
         - Exclude managed interrupts in the calculation of interrupts which
           are targeted to a CPU which is about to be offlined to ensure that
           there are enough free vectors on the still online CPUs to migrate
           them over.
      
           Managed interrupts do not need to be accounted because they are
           either shut down on offline or migrated to an already reserved and
           guaranteed slot on a still online CPU in the interrupts affinity
           mask.
      
           Including managed interrupts is overaccounting and can result in
           needlessly aborting hibernation on large server machines.
      
         - The usual set of small improvements
      
        Drivers:
      
         - Make the generic interrupt chip implementation handle interrupt
           domains correctly and initialize the name pointers correctly
      
         - Add interrupt affinity setting support to the Renesas RZG2L chip
           driver.
      
         - Prevent registering syscore operations multiple times in the SiFive
           PLIC chip driver.
      
         - Update device tree handling in the NXP Layerscape MSI chip driver"

      Pull core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
       "Two small updates to ptrace_stop():
      
         - Add a comment to explain that the preempt_disable() before
           unlocking tasklist lock is not a correctness problem and just
           avoids the tracer to preempt the tracee before the tracee schedules
           out.
      
         - Make that preempt_disable() conditional on PREEMPT_RT=n.
      
           RT enabled kernels cannot disable preemption at this point because
           cgroup_enter_frozen() and sched_submit_work() acquire spinlocks or
           rwlocks which are substituted by sleeping locks on RT. Acquiring a
           sleeping lock in a preemption disable region is obviously not
           possible.
      
           This obviously brings back the potential slowdown of ptrace() for
           RT enabled kernels, but that's a price to be paid for latency
           guarantees"

      Pull locking updates from Info Molnar:
       "Futex improvements:
      
         - Add the 'futex2' syscall ABI, which is an attempt to get away from
           the multiplex syscall and adds a little room for extentions, while
           lifting some limitations.
      
         - Fix futex PI recursive rt_mutex waiter state bug
      
         - Fix inter-process shared futexes on no-MMU systems
      
         - Use folios instead of pages
      
        Micro-optimizations of locking primitives:
      
         - Improve arch_spin_value_unlocked() on asm-generic ticket spinlock
           architectures, to improve lockref code generation
      
         - Improve the x86-32 lockref_get_not_zero() main loop by adding
           build-time CMPXCHG8B support detection for the relevant lockref
           code, and by better interfacing the CMPXCHG8B assembly code with
           the compiler
      
         - Introduce arch_sync_try_cmpxchg() on x86 to improve
           sync_try_cmpxchg() code generation. Convert some sync_cmpxchg()
           users to sync_try_cmpxchg().
      
         - Micro-optimize rcuref_put_slowpath()
      
        Locking debuggability improvements:
      
         - Improve CONFIG_DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES=y to have a fast-path as well
      
         - Enforce atomicity of sched_submit_work(), which is de-facto atomic
           but was un-enforced previously.
      
         - Extend <linux/cleanup.h>'s no_free_ptr() with __must_check
           semantics
      
         - Fix ww_mutex self-tests
      
         - Clean up const-propagation in <linux/seqlock.h> and simplify the
           API-instantiation macros a bit
      
        RT locking improvements:
      
         - Provide the rt_mutex_*_schedule() primitives/helpers and use them
           in the rtmutex code to avoid recursion vs. rtlock on the PI state.
      
         - Add nested blocking lockdep asserts to rt_mutex_lock(),
           rtlock_lock() and rwbase_read_lock()
      
        .. plus misc fixes & cleanups"

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
       "New features:
      
         - raid-stripe-tree
      
           New tree for logical file extent mapping where the physical mapping
           may not match on multiple devices. This is now used in zoned mode
           to implement RAID0/RAID1* profiles, but can be used in non-zoned
           mode as well. The support for RAID56 is in development and will
           eventually fix the problems with the current implementation. This
           is a backward incompatible feature and has to be enabled at mkfs
           time.
      
         - simple quota accounting (squota)
      
           A simplified mode of qgroup that accounts all space on the initial
           extent owners (a subvolume), the snapshots are then cheap to create
           and delete. The deletion of snapshots in fully accounting qgroups
           is a known CPU/IO performance bottleneck.
      
           The squota is not suitable for the general use case but works well
           for containers where the original subvolume exists for the whole
           time. This is a backward incompatible feature as it needs extending
           some structures, but can be enabled on an existing filesystem.
      
         - temporary filesystem fsid (temp_fsid)
      
           The fsid identifies a filesystem and is hard coded in the
           structures, which disallows mounting the same fsid found on
           different devices.
      
           For a single device filesystem this is not strictly necessary, a
           new temporary fsid can be generated on mount e.g. after a device is
           cloned. This will be used by Steam Deck for root partition A/B
           testing, or can be used for VM root images.
      
        Other user visible changes:
      
         - filesystems with partially finished metadata_uuid conversion cannot
           be mounted anymore and the uuid fixup has to be done by btrfs-progs
           (btrfstune).
      
        Performance improvements:
      
         - reduce reservations for checksum deletions (with enabled free space
           tree by factor of 4), on a sample workload on file with many
           extents the deletion time decreased by 12%
      
         - make extent state merges more efficient during insertions, reduce
           rb-tree iterations (run time of critical functions reduced by 5%)
      
        Core changes:
      
         - the integrity check functionality has been removed, this was a
           debugging feature and removal does not affect other integrity
           checks like checksums or tree-checker
      
         - space reservation changes:
      
            - more efficient delayed ref reservations, this avoids building up
              too much work or overusing or exhausting the global block
              reserve in some situations
      
            - move delayed refs reservation to the transaction start time,
              this prevents some ENOSPC corner cases related to exhaustion of
              global reserve
      
            - improvements in reducing excessive reservations for block group
              items
      
            - adjust overcommit logic in near full situations, account for one
              more chunk to eventually allocate metadata chunk, this is mostly
              relevant for small filesystems (<10GiB)
      
         - single device filesystems are scanned but not registered (except
           seed devices), this allows temp_fsid to work
      
         - qgroup iterations do not need GFP_ATOMIC allocations anymore
      
         - cleanups, refactoring, reduced data structure size, function
           parameter simplifications, error handling fixes"

        Lorenzo Bianconi contributed infrastructure for a netlink-based NFSD
        control plane. The long-term plan is to provide the same functionality
        as found in /proc/fs/nfsd, plus some interesting additions, and then
        migrate the NFSD user space utilities to netlink.
      
        A long series to overhaul NFSD's NFSv4 operation encoding was applied
        in this release. The goals are to bring this family of encoding
        functions in line with the matching NFSv4 decoding functions and with
        the NFSv2 and NFSv3 XDR functions, preparing the way for better memory
        safety and maintainability.
      
        A further improvement to NFSD's write delegation support was
        contributed by Dai Ngo. This adds a CB_GETATTR callback, enabling the
        server to retrieve cached size and mtime data from clients holding
        write delegations. If the server can retrieve this information, it
        does not have to recall the delegation in some cases.
      
        The usual panoply of bug fixes and minor improvements round out this
        release. As always I am grateful to all contributors, reviewers, and
        testers"

      Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
       "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
        for vfs and individual fses.
      
        Features:
      
         - Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They
           are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount.
      
         - Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This
           helps in scenarios where we would usually only print
           "unknown-block(1,2)".
      
         - Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the
           endless POSIX ACL saga in a way.
      
           When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip
           the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might
           take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX
           ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end
           up with:
      
            (1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs
            (2) SB_POSIXACL    -> strip umask in filesystem
      
           The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems
           that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL
           purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and
           Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server
           and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the
           upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer.
      
           This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that
           don't even have POSIX ACL support at all.
      
           Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal
           superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask
           handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's
           not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all
           umask handling always in the vfs.
      
         - Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too.
      
         - Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in
           IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a
           very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider
           cleanup that was done.
      
         - Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly
           from Amir:
      
           When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files
           and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a
           "fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is
           the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem.
      
           In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the
           backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change
           allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an
           overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make
           fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem
           objects that were accessed via overlayfs.
      
           This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to
           new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent
           example is commit db1d1e8b ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get
           the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in
           IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to
           reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring.
      
           This contains work to switch things around: instead of having
           filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code
           opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed.
      
           Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use
           the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing
           crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path
           exposed by default.
      
           This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did
           not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to
           catch if we have made any wrong assumptions.
      
           After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a
           plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real().
      
         - Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small
           change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on
           their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work.
      
           Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for
           files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions
           between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So
           extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There
           are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly
           and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under
           rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always
           dodgy.
      
           I forgot to put in the link tag for this change and the discussion
           in the commit so adding it into the merge message:

        Cleanups:
      
         - Various smaller pipe cleanups including the removal of a spin lock
           that was only used to protect against writes without pipe_lock()
           from O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE aka watch queues. As that was never
           implemented remove the additional locking from pipe_write().
      
         - Annotate struct watch_filter with the new __counted_by attribute.
      
         - Clarify do_unlinkat() cleanup so that it doesn't look like an extra
           iput() is done that would cause issues.
      
         - Simplify file cleanup when the file has never been opened.
      
         - Use module helper instead of open-coding it.
      
         - Predict error unlikely for stale retry.
      
         - Use WRITE_ONCE() for mount expiry field instead of just commenting
           that one hopes the compiler doesn't get smart.
      
        Fixes:
      
         - Fix readahead on block devices.
      
         - Fix writeback when layztime is enabled and inodes whose timestamp
           is the only thing that changed reside on wb->b_dirty_time. This
           caused excessively large zombie memory cgroup when lazytime was
           enabled as such inodes weren't handled fast enough.
      
         - Convert BUG_ON() to WARN_ON_ONCE() in open_last_lookups()"

        changes to btrfs that have been quietly dropped somehow.
      
        Originally the series contained a patch that removed the old
        blkdev_*() helpers. But since this would've caused needles churn in
        -next for bcachefs we ended up delaying it.
      
        The second piece of work addresses one of the major annoyances about
        the work last cycle, namely that we required dropping s_umount
        whenever we used the superblock and fs_holder_ops for a block device.
      
        The reason for that requirement had been that in some codepaths
        s_umount could've been taken under disk->open_mutex (that's always
        been the case, at least theoretically). For example, on surprise block
        device removal or media change. And opening and closing block devices
        required grabbing disk->open_mutex as well.
      
        So we did the work and went through the block layer and fixed all
        those places so that s_umount is never taken under disk->open_mutex.
        This means no more brittle games where we yield and reacquire s_umount
        during block device opening and closing and no more requirements where
        block devices need to be closed. Filesystems don't need to care about
        this.
      
        There's a bunch of other follow-up work such as moving block device
        freezing and thawing to holder operations which makes it work for all
        block devices and not just the main block device just as we did for
        surprise removal. But that is for next cycle.
