f2fs-for-6.17-rc1
In this round, we've mainly updated three parts: 1) folio conversion by Matthew, 2) switch to a new mount API by Hongbo and Eric, and 3) several sysfs entries to tune GCs for ZUFS with finer granularity by Daeho. There are also patches to address bugs and issues in the existing features such as GCs, file pinning, write-while-dio-read, contingous block allocation, and memory access violations. Enhancement: - switch to new mount API and folio conversion - add sysfs nodes to controle F2FS GCs for ZUFS - improve performance on the nat entry cache - drop inode from the donation list when the last file is closed - avoid splitting bio when reading multiple pages Bug fix: - fix to trigger foreground gc during f2fs_map_blocks() in lfs mode - make sure zoned device GC to use FG_GC in shortage of free section - fix to calculate dirty data during has_not_enough_free_secs() - fix to update upper_p in __get_secs_required() correctly - wait for inflight dio completion, excluding pinned files read using dio - don't break allocation when crossing contiguous sections - vm_unmap_ram() may be called from an invalid context - fix to avoid out-of-boundary access in dnode page - fix to avoid panic in f2fs_evict_inode - fix to avoid UAF in f2fs_sync_inode_meta() - fix to use f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr_raw() in do_write_page() - fix UAF of f2fs_inode_info in f2fs_free_dic - fix to avoid invalid wait context issue - fix bio memleak when committing super block - handle nat.blkaddr corruption in f2fs_get_node_info() In addition, there are also clean-ups and minor bug fixes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEE00UqedjCtOrGVvQiQBSofoJIUNIFAmiRJ+oACgkQQBSofoJI UNInMA//ekJJCf/0UyMYiPA9ag4KBb/VA0VaVJbw6BA/DoT5ZII6+lCIfllyELbk 78+ZppTrKq5OyImwiajcNijEwyDbh/asfUu+uNVsC85fjoboiBgDGVHbUEtSQ20Q 5JVXIL5PhDDVGdVNPh57ijYK/PxhzBPaFNuaGECYrqnWhkQEb//HmN20KRfzcOjZ 19QnOyEh0HED/izMjLhtZaCBQP53kfB7VjhTxMdY86l6IZ22gJHPRrnqBQHRTfyb iHcMJj4WRd7SpvbD/6bSdnUfpxOYPIm3GwQHdG46cHBEH1scnyQxx2OULlSLUbz6 yeiG36jcuQQWOev8ikBjNzfAozD0VvUAulPpfIbAoHc5jBYkA1sP3N7JOiao1H4Z FnPgw/FyIQE+d9NkbyeVW+6f9WfmKlJlIJ4zKoURbZvARYCZKmiPiI9vPWWe18qV nchWniQMJ45TYsABUGmGJwTEe/SFaOkgLpLjAlzCy7ZY9/6LKVUlnxR0E1ZDcjSp 5/E5fXQhds0Nn7F1jQXV3afxkECW+MNOLS/31ggL+ym6Pce3HPJCxBeRU4XaKrvA O0wP7n3g5jhVVWce0PBghF0mwTVVBwohTaUhL7lIIJMxKGkr4A8kH1j8tLLBdD3b hqcesDCtqqOZhogbwHXEgUDSikak4/1R1gDXnK0KhL1gg0Z6wR4= =XIPU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'f2fs-for-6.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaegeuk/f2fs Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim: "Three main updates: folio conversion by Matthew, switch to a new mount API by Hongbo and Eric, and several sysfs entries to tune GCs for ZUFS with finer granularity by Daeho.

cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which
doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice.
- The 5 patch series "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON
sysfs functionality tests" from SeongJae Park adds additional drgn- and
python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the
existing selftest suite.

migrate_{hot,cold} actions" from SeongJae Park facilitates dynamic
alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy.
- The 3 patch series "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" from Vishal Moola
provides a couple of page->folio conversions.
- The 4 patch series "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" from Davidlohr
Bueso implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the
current memcg-based implementation.
- The 14 patch series "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" from SeongJae
Park replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and
powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface.
- The 10 patch series "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs"
from Lorenzo Stoakes implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course)

stats update" from SeongJae Park augments the present
userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic
update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update
interval.
- The 4 patch series "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" from
Kemeng Shi does what is claims.
- The 4 patch series "mm: introduce snapshot_page" from Luiz Capitulino
and David Hildenbrand provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style
functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly
without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live
pageframe directly.
- The 6 patch series "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" from
Suren Baghdasaryan addresses the large contention issues which can be

selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.
- The 6 patch series "__folio_split() clean up" from Zi Yan cleans up
__folio_split()!

Stoakes extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding
more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of
multiple VMAs" feature.
- The 22 patch series "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters"
from SeongJae Park extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it
tests all possible user-requested parameters. Rather than the present

It has been a relatively busy cycle for docs, especially the build system:
- The Perl kernel-doc script was added to 2.3.52pre1 just after the turn of
the millennium. Over the following 25 years, it accumulated a vast
amount of cruft, all in a language few people want to deal with anymore.
Mauro's Python replacement in 6.16 faithfully reproduced all of the cruft
in the hope of avoiding regressions. Now that we have a more reasonable
code base, though, we can work on cleaning it up; many of the changes
this time around are toward that end.
- A reorganization of the ext4 docs into the usual TOC format.
- Various Chinese translations and updates.
- A new script from Mauro to help with docs-build testing.
- A new document for linked lists
- A sweep through MAINTAINERS fixing broken GitHub git:// repository links.
...and lots of fixes and updates.

fscrypt updates for 6.17
Simplify how fscrypt uses the crypto API, resulting in some
significant performance improvements:
- Drop the incomplete and problematic support for asynchronous
algorithms. These drivers are bug-prone, and it turns out they are
actually much slower than the CPU-based code as well.
- Allocate crypto requests on the stack instead of the heap. This
improves encryption and decryption performance, especially for
filenames. It also eliminates a point of failure during I/O.

algorithms. These drivers are bug-prone, and it turns out they are
actually much slower than the CPU-based code as well.
- Allocate crypto requests on the stack instead of the heap. This
improves encryption and decryption performance, especially for
filenames. This also eliminates a point of failure during I/O"

Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related operations. These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects. XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent directory. The project is created from userspace by opening and calling FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but in the case when special files are created in the directory with already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn, prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing files. In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the legacy ioctls anymore" * tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.fileattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: tighten a sanity check in file_attr_to_fileattr() tree-wide: s/struct fileattr/struct file_kattr/g fs: introduce file_getattr and file_setattr syscalls fs: prepare for extending file_get/setattr() fs: make vfs_fileattr_[get|set] return -EOPNOTSUPP selinux: implement inode_file_[g|s]etattr hooks lsm: introduce new hooks for setting/getting inode fsxattr fs: split fileattr related helpers into separate file |

Pull misc VFS updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support
This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and
write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate
to the filesystem's buffered I/O path.
Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag
and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.
Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to
bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of
directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb.
Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with
kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.
Cleanups:
- don't duplicate vfs_open() in kernel_file_open()
- proc_fd_getattr(): don't bother with S_ISDIR() check
- fs/ecryptfs: replace snprintf with sysfs_emit in show function
- vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() from
evict_inodes()
- filelock: add new locks_wake_up_waiter() helper
- fs: Remove three arguments from block_write_end()
- VFS: change old_dir and new_dir in struct renamedata to dentrys
- netfs: Remove unused declaration netfs_queue_write_request()
Fixes:
- eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion
- eventpoll: fix sphinx documentation build warning
- fs/read_write: Fix spelling typo
- fs: annotate data race between poll_schedule_timeout() and
pollwake()
- fs/pipe: set FMODE_NOWAIT in create_pipe_files()
- docs/vfs: update references to i_mutex to i_rwsem
- fs/buffer: remove comment about hard sectorsize
- fs/buffer: remove the min and max limit checks in __getblk_slow()

no more overloading it for absolute roots;

represent temporary sets during umount_tree().
* mount refcounting change
children no longer pin parents for any mounts, whether they'd
passed through umount_tree() or not.
* struct mountpoint changes
refcount is no more; what matters is ->m_list emptiness;
instead of temporary bumping the refcount, we insert a new object

new calling conventions for lock_mount() and friends.
* do_move_mount()/attach_recursive_mnt() seriously cleaned up.
* globals in fs/pnode.c are gone.
* propagate_mnt(), change_mnt_propagation() and propagate_umount() cleaned up

* freeing of emptied mnt_namespace is done in namespace_unlock()
for one thing, there are subtle ordering requirements there;
for another it simplifies cleanups.
* assorted cleanups.
* restore the machinery for long-term mounts from accumulated bitrot.
This is going to get a followup come next cycle, when #work.fs_context

Current exclusion rules for ->d_flags stores are rather unpleasant.
The basic rules are simple: * stores to dentry->d_flags are OK under dentry->d_lock. * stores to dentry->d_flags are OK in the dentry constructor, before becomes potentially visible to other threads. Unfortunately, there's a couple of exceptions to that, and that's where the headache comes from. Main PITA comes from d_set_d_op(); that primitive sets ->d_op of dentry and adjusts the flags that correspond to presence of individual methods. It's very easy to misuse; existing uses _are_ safe, but proof of correctness is brittle. Use in __d_alloc() is safe (we are within a constructor), but we might as well precalculate the initial value of ->d_flags when we set the default ->d_op for given superblock and set ->d_flags directly instead of messing with that helper. The reasons why other uses are safe are bloody convoluted; I'm not going to reproduce it here. See https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250224010624.GT1977892@ZenIV/ for gory details, if you care. The critical part is using d_set_d_op() only just prior to d_splice_alias(), which makes a combination of d_splice_alias() with setting ->d_op, etc. a natural replacement primitive. Better yet, if we go that way, it's easy to take setting ->d_op and modifying ->d_flags under ->d_lock, which eliminates the headache as far as ->d_flags exclusion rules are concerned. Other exceptions are minor and easy to deal with. What this series does: * d_set_d_op() is no longer available; new primitive (d_splice_alias_ops()) is provided, equivalent to combination of d_set_d_op() and d_splice_alias(). * new field of struct super_block - ->s_d_flags. Default value of ->d_flags to be used when allocating dentries on this filesystem. * new primitive for setting ->s_d_op: set_default_d_op(). Replaces stores to ->s_d_op at mount time. All in-tree filesystems converted; out-of-tree ones will get caught by compiler (->s_d_op is renamed, so stores to it will be caught). ->s_d_flags is set by the same primitive to match the ->s_d_op. * a lot of filesystems had ->s_d_op->d_delete equal to always_delete_dentry; that is equivalent to setting DCACHE_DONTCACHE in ->d_flags, so such filesystems can bloody well set that bit in ->s_d_flags and drop ->d_delete() from dentry_operations. In quite a few cases that results in empty dentry_operations, which means that we can get rid of those. * kill simple_dentry_operations - not needed anymore. * massage d_alloc_parallel() to get rid of the other exception wrt ->d_flags stores - we can set DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP as soon as we allocate the new dentry; no need to delay that until we commit to using the sucker.

Even with multiple algorithms, the library-based code still ends up being quite a bit simpler, due to how clumsy the old-school crypto API is. The library-based code is also more efficient, since it avoids overheads such as indirect calls.

iomap: refactor the writeback interface
Replace ->map_blocks with a new ->writeback_range, which differs in the following ways: - it must also queue up the I/O for writeback, that is called into the slightly refactored and extended in scope iomap_add_to_ioend for each region - can handle only a part of the requested region, that is the retry loop for partial mappings moves to the caller - handles cleanup on failures as well, and thus also replaces the discard_folio method only implemented by XFS.

fscrypt: Don't use problematic non-inline crypto engines
Make fscrypt no longer use Crypto API drivers for non-inline crypto
engines, even when the Crypto API prioritizes them over CPU-based code
(which unfortunately it often does). These drivers tend to be really
problematic, especially for fscrypt's workload. This commit has no
effect on inline crypto engines, which are different and do work well.
Specifically, exclude drivers that have CRYPTO_ALG_KERN_DRIVER_ONLY or
CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY set. (Later, CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC should be
excluded too. That's omitted for now to keep this commit backportable,
since until recently some CPU-based code had CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC set.)
There are two major issues with these drivers: bugs and performance.
First, these drivers tend to be buggy. They're fundamentally much more
error-prone and harder to test than the CPU-based code. They often
don't get tested before kernel releases, and even if they do, the crypto
self-tests don't properly test these drivers. Released drivers have
en/decrypted or hashed data incorrectly. These bugs cause issues for
fscrypt users who often didn't even want to use these drivers, e.g.:
- https://github.com/google/fscryptctl/issues/32
- https://github.com/google/fscryptctl/issues/9
- https://lore.kernel.org/r/PH0PR02MB731916ECDB6C613665863B6CFFAA2@PH0PR02MB7319.namprd02.prod.outlook.com
These drivers have also similarly caused issues for dm-crypt users,
including data corruption and deadlocks. Since Linux v5.10, dm-crypt
has disabled most of them by excluding CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY.
Second, these drivers tend to be *much* slower than the CPU-based code.
This may seem counterintuitive, but benchmarks clearly show it. There's
a *lot* of overhead associated with going to a hardware driver, off the
CPU, and back again. To prove this, I gathered as many systems with
this type of crypto engine as I could, and I measured synchronous
encryption of 4096-byte messages (which matches fscrypt's workload):
Intel Emerald Rapids server:
AES-256-XTS:
xts-aes-vaes-avx512 16171 MB/s [CPU-based, Vector AES]
qat_aes_xts 289 MB/s [Offload, Intel QuickAssist]
Qualcomm SM8650 HDK:
AES-256-XTS:
xts-aes-ce 4301 MB/s [CPU-based, ARMv8 Crypto Extensions]
xts-aes-qce 73 MB/s [Offload, Qualcomm Crypto Engine]
i.MX 8M Nano LPDDR4 EVK:
AES-256-XTS:
xts-aes-ce 647 MB/s [CPU-based, ARMv8 Crypto Extensions]
xts(ecb-aes-caam) 20 MB/s [Offload, CAAM]
AES-128-CBC-ESSIV:
essiv(cbc-aes-caam,sha256-lib) 23 MB/s [Offload, CAAM]
STM32MP157F-DK2:
AES-256-XTS:
xts-aes-neonbs 13.2 MB/s [CPU-based, ARM NEON]
xts(stm32-ecb-aes) 3.1 MB/s [Offload, STM32 crypto engine]
AES-128-CBC-ESSIV:
essiv(cbc-aes-neonbs,sha256-lib)
14.7 MB/s [CPU-based, ARM NEON]
essiv(stm32-cbc-aes,sha256-lib)
3.2 MB/s [Offload, STM32 crypto engine]
Adiantum:
adiantum(xchacha12-arm,aes-arm,nhpoly1305-neon)
52.8 MB/s [CPU-based, ARM scalar + NEON]
So, there was no case in which the crypto engine was even *close* to
being faster. On the first three, which have AES instructions in the
CPU, the CPU was 30 to 55 times faster (!). Even on STM32MP157F-DK2
which has a Cortex-A7 CPU that doesn't have AES instructions, AES was
over 4 times faster on the CPU. And Adiantum encryption, which is what
actually should be used on CPUs like that, was over 17 times faster.
Other justifications that have been given for these non-inline crypto
engines (almost always coming from the hardware vendors, not actual
users) don't seem very plausible either:
- The crypto engine throughput could be improved by processing
multiple requests concurrently. Currently irrelevant to fscrypt,
since it doesn't do that. This would also be complex, and unhelpful
in many cases. 2 of the 4 engines I tested even had only one queue.
- Some of the engines, e.g. STM32, support hardware keys. Also
currently irrelevant to fscrypt, since it doesn't support these.
Interestingly, the STM32 driver itself doesn't support this either.
- Free up CPU for other tasks and/or reduce energy usage. Not very
plausible considering the "short" message length, driver overhead,
and scheduling overhead. There's just very little time for the CPU
to do something else like run another task or enter low-power state,
before the message finishes and it's time to process the next one.
- Some of these engines resist power analysis and electromagnetic
attacks, while the CPU-based crypto generally does not. In theory,
this sounds great. In practice, if this benefit requires the use of
an off-CPU offload that massively regresses performance and has a
low-quality, buggy driver, the price for this hardening (which is
not relevant to most fscrypt users, and tends to be incomplete) is
just too high. Inline crypto engines are much more promising here,
as are on-CPU solutions like RISC-V High Assurance Cryptography.

mount: separate the flags accessed only under namespace_sem
Several flags are updated and checked only under namespace_sem; we are already making use of that when we are checking them without mount_lock, but we have to hold mount_lock for all updates, which makes things clumsier than they have to be. Take MNT_SHARED, MNT_UNBINDABLE, MNT_MARKED and MNT_UMOUNT_CANDIDATE into a separate field (->mnt_t_flags), renaming them to T_SHARED, etc. to avoid confusion. All accesses must be under namespace_sem. That changes locking requirements for mnt_change_propagation() and set_mnt_shared() - only namespace_sem is needed now. The same goes for SET_MNT_MARKED et.al. There might be more flags moved from ->mnt_flags to that field; this is just the initial set. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |

Rewrite of propagate_umount()
The variant currently in the tree has problems; trying to prove correctness has caught at least one class of bugs (reparenting that ends up moving the visible location of reparented mount, due to not excluding some of the counterparts on propagation that should've been included). I tried to prove that it's the only bug there; I'm still not sure whether it is. If anyone can reconstruct and write down an analysis of the mainline implementation, I'll gladly review it; as it is, I ended up doing a different implementation. Candidate collection phase is similar, but trimming the set down until it satisfies the constraints turned out pretty different. I hoped to do transformation as a massage series, but that turns out to be too convoluted. So it's a single patch replacing propagate_umount() and friends in one go, with notes and analysis in D/f/propagate_umount.txt (in addition to inline comments). As far I can tell, it is provably correct and provably linear by the number of mounts we need to look at in order to decide what should be unmounted. It even builds and seems to survive testing... Another nice thing that fell out of that is that ->mnt_umounting is no longer needed. Compared to the first version: * explicit MNT_UMOUNT_CANDIDATE flag for is_candidate() * trim_ancestors() only clears that flag, leaving the suckers on list * trim_one() and handle_locked() take the stuff with flag cleared off the list. That allows to iterate with list_for_each_entry_safe() when calling trim_one() - it removes at most one element from the list now. * no globals - I didn't bother with any kind of context, not worth it. * Notes updated accordingly; I have not touch the terms yet.

replace collect_mounts()/drop_collected_mounts() with a safer variant
collect_mounts() has several problems - one can't iterate over the results
directly, so it has to be done with callback passed to iterate_mounts();
it has an oopsable race with d_invalidate(); it creates temporary clones
of mounts invisibly for sync umount (IOW, you can have non-lazy umount
succeed leaving filesystem not mounted anywhere and yet still busy).
A saner approach is to give caller an array of struct path that would pin
every mount in a subtree, without cloning any mounts.
* collect_mounts()/drop_collected_mounts()/iterate_mounts() is gone
* collect_paths(where, preallocated, size) gives either ERR_PTR(-E...) or
a pointer to array of struct path, one for each chunk of tree visible under
'where' (i.e. the first element is a copy of where, followed by (mount,root)
for everything mounted under it - the same set collect_mounts() would give).
Unlike collect_mounts(), the mounts are *not* cloned - we just get pinning
references to the roots of subtrees in the caller's namespace.
Array is terminated by {NULL, NULL} struct path. If it fits into
preallocated array (on-stack, normally), that's where it goes; otherwise
it's allocated by kmalloc_array(). Passing 0 as size means that 'preallocated'
is ignored (and expected to be NULL).
* drop_collected_paths(paths, preallocated) is given the array returned
by an earlier call of collect_paths() and the preallocated array passed to that
call. All mount/dentry references are dropped and array is kfree'd if it's not
equal to 'preallocated'.
* instead of iterate_mounts(), users should just iterate over array
of struct path - nothing exotic is needed for that. Existing users (all in
audit_tree.c) are converted.

This removes ~300 lines and with that a lot of complexity related to avoiding reclaim related deadlock. The old mechanism is replaced with a mapping flag that tells the MM not to block reclaim waiting for writeback to complete. The MM parts have been reviewed/acked by respective maintainers. - Convert more code to handle large folios (Joanne). This still just adds the code to deal with large folios and does not enable them yet. - Allow invalidating all cached lookups atomically (Luis Henriques). This feature is useful for CernVMFS, which currently does this iteratively. - Align write prefaulting in fuse with generic one (Dave Hansen) - Fix race causing invalid data to be cached when setting attributes on different nodes of a distributed fs (Guang Yuan Wu) - Update documentation for passthrough (Chen Linxuan) - Add fdinfo about the device number associated with an opened /dev/fuse instance (Chen Linxuan) - Increase readdir buffer size (Miklos). This depends on a patch to VFS readdir code that was already merged through Christians tree. - Optimize io-uring request expiration (Joanne) - Misc cleanups * tag 'fuse-update-6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse: (25 commits) fuse: increase readdir buffer size readdir: supply dir_context.count as readdir buffer size hint fuse: don't allow signals to interrupt getdents copying fuse: support large folios for writeback fuse: support large folios for readahead fuse: support large folios for queued writes fuse: support large folios for stores fuse: support large folios for symlinks fuse: support large folios for folio reads fuse: support large folios for writethrough writes fuse: refactor fuse_fill_write_pages() fuse: support large folios for retrieves fuse: support copying large folios fs: fuse: add dev id to /dev/fuse fdinfo docs: filesystems: add fuse-passthrough.rst MAINTAINERS: update filter of FUSE documentation fuse: fix race between concurrent setattrs from multiple nodes fuse: remove tmp folio for writebacks and internal rb tree mm: skip folio reclaim in legacy memcg contexts for deadlockable mappings fuse: optimize over-io-uring request expiration check ... |

- The 3 patch series "hung_task: extend blocking task stacktrace dump to
semaphore" from Lance Yang enhances the hung task detector. The
detector presently dumps the blocking tasks's stack when it is blocked
on a mutex. Lance's series extends this to semaphores.
- The 2 patch series "nilfs2: improve sanity checks in dirty state
propagation" from Wentao Liang addresses a couple of minor flaws in
nilfs2.
- The 2 patch series "scripts/gdb: Fixes related to lx_per_cpu()" from
Illia Ostapyshyn fixes a couple of issues in the gdb scripts.
- The 9 patch series "Support kdump with LUKS encryption by reusing LUKS
volume keys" from Coiby Xu addresses a usability problem with kdump.
When the dump device is LUKS-encrypted, the kdump kernel may not have
the keys to the encrypted filesystem. A full writeup of this is in the
series [0/N] cover letter.
- The 2 patch series "sysfs: add counters for lockups and stalls" from
Max Kellermann adds /sys/kernel/hardlockup_count and
/sys/kernel/hardlockup_count and /sys/kernel/rcu_stall_count.
- The 3 patch series "fork: Page operation cleanups in the fork code"
from Pasha Tatashin implements a number of code cleanups in fork.c.
- The 3 patch series "scripts/gdb/symbols: determine KASLR offset on
s390 during early boot" from Ilya Leoshkevich fixes some s390 issues in
the gdb scripts.

But that's easy to detect and take care of in mark_mounts_for_expiry() itself; no need to have every instance simulate mount being busy by grabbing an extra reference to it, with finish_automount() undoing that once it attaches that mount.
