Pull vfs d_revalidate updates from Al Viro:
"Provide stable parent and name to ->d_revalidate() instances
Most of the filesystem methods where we care about dentry name and
parent have their stability guaranteed by the callers;
->d_revalidate() is the major exception.
It's easy enough for callers to supply stable values for expected name
and expected parent of the dentry being validated. That kills quite a
bit of boilerplate in ->d_revalidate() instances, along with a bunch
of races where they used to access ->d_name without sufficient
precautions"

Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.
Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.
There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at
least one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is
working on tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone
else's linux-next use), it does not seem like a big issue at the
moment.
Here's a short list of the things in here:
- driver core rust bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o
functions.
We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
depending on what you want to do.
- misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
them
- debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing
things in complex ways.
- driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.
- other small fixes and updates
All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
"soon""

9p wants to be able to build a path from given dentry to fs root and keep
it valid over a blocking operation.
->s_vfs_rename_mutex would be a natural candidate, but there are places
where we need that and where we have no way to tell if ->s_vfs_rename_mutex
is already held deeper in callchain. Moreover, it's only held for
cross-directory renames; name changes within the same directory happen
without it.
Solution:
* have d_move() done in ->rename() rather than in its caller
* maintain a 9p-private rwsem (per-filesystem)
* hold it exclusive over the relevant part of ->rename()
* hold it shared over the places where we want the path.
That almost works. FS_RENAME_DOES_D_MOVE is enough to put all d_move()
and d_exchange() calls under filesystem's control. However, there's
also __d_unalias(), which isn't covered by any of that.
If ->lookup() hits a directory inode with preexisting dentry elsewhere
(due to e.g. rename done on server behind our back), d_splice_alias()
called by ->lookup() will move/rename that alias.
Add a couple of optional methods, so that __d_unalias() would do
if alias->d_op->d_unalias_trylock != NULL
if (!alias->d_op->d_unalias_trylock(alias))
fail (resulting in -ESTALE from lookup)
__d_move(...)
if alias->d_op->d_unalias_unlock != NULL
alias->d_unalias_unlock(alias)
where it currently does __d_move(). 9p instances do down_write_trylock()
and up_write() of ->rename_mutex.

->d_revalidate() often needs to access dentry parent and name; that has
to be done carefully, since the locking environment varies from caller
to caller. We are not guaranteed that dentry in question will not be
moved right under us - not unless the filesystem is such that nothing
on it ever gets renamed.
It can be dealt with, but that results in boilerplate code that isn't
even needed - the callers normally have just found the dentry via dcache
lookup and want to verify that it's in the right place; they already
have the values of ->d_parent and ->d_name stable. There is a couple
of exceptions (overlayfs and, to less extent, ecryptfs), but for the
majority of calls that song and dance is not needed at all.
It's easier to make ecryptfs and overlayfs find and pass those values if
there's a ->d_revalidate() instance to be called, rather than doing that
in the instances.
This commit only changes the calling conventions; making use of supplied
values is left to followups.
NOTE: some instances need more than just the parent - things like CIFS
may need to build an entire path from filesystem root, so they need
more precautions than the usual boilerplate. This series doesn't
do anything to that need - these filesystems have to keep their locking
mechanisms (rename_lock loops, use of dentry_path_raw(), private rwsem
a-la v9fs).
One thing to keep in mind when using name is that name->name will normally
point into the pathname being resolved; the filename in question occupies
name->len bytes starting at name->name, and there is NUL somewhere after it,
but it the next byte might very well be '/' rather than '\0'. Do not
ignore name->len.

In /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, add two extra ksm involvement items including
KSM_mergeable and KSM_merge_any. It helps administrators to better know
the system's KSM behavior at process level.
ksm_merge_any: yes/no
whether the process'mm is added by prctl() into the candidate list
of KSM or not, and fully enabled at process level.
ksm_mergeable: yes/no
whether any VMAs of the process'mm are currently applicable to KSM.
Purpose
=======
These two items are just to improve the observability of KSM at process
level, so that users can know if a certain process has enabled KSM.
For example, if without these two items, when we look at
/proc/<pid>/ksm_stat and there's no merging pages found, We are not sure
whether it is because KSM was not enabled or because KSM did not
successfully merge any pages.
Although "mg" in /proc/<pid>/smaps indicate VM_MERGEABLE, it's opaque
and not very obvious for non professionals.

Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:
"Lots of scalability work, another big on-disk format change. On-disk
format version goes from 1.13 to 1.20.
Like 6.11, this is another big and expensive automatic/required on
disk format upgrade. This is planned to be the last big on disk format
upgrade before the experimental label comes off. There will be one
more minor on disk format update for a few things that couldn't make
this release.
Headline improvements:
- Self healing work:
Allocator and reflink now run the exact same check/repair code that
fsck does at runtime, where applicable.
The long term goal here is to remove inconsistent() errors (that
cause us to go emergency read only) by lifting fsck code up to
normal runtime paths; we should only go emergency read-only if we
detect an inconsistency that was due to a runtime bug - or truly
catastrophic damage (corrupted btree roots/interior nodes).
- Reflink repair no longer deletes reflink pointers:
Instead we flip an error bit and log the error, and they can still
be deleted by file deletion. This means a temporary failure to find
an indirect extent (perhaps repaired later by btree node scan)
won't result in unnecessary data loss
- Improvements to rebalance data path option handling:
We can now correctly apply changed filesystem-level io path options
to pending rebalance work, and soon we'll be able to apply
file-level io path option changes to indirect extents
- Fix mount time regression that some users encountered post the 6.11
disk accounting rewrite.
Accounting keys were encoded little endian (typetag in the low
bits) - which didn't anticipate adding accounting keys for every
inode, which aren't stored in memory and we don't want to scan at
mount time.
- fsck time on large filesystems is improved by multiple orders of
magnitude. Previously, 100TB was about the practical max filesystem
size, where users were reporting fsck times of a day+. With the new
changes (which nearly eliminate backpointers fsck overhead), we
fsck'd a filesystem with 10PB of data in 1.5 hours.
The problematic fsck passes were walking every extent and checking
for missing backpointers, and walking every backpointer to check
for dangling backpointers. As we've been adding more and more
runtime self healing there was no reason to keep around the
backpointers -> extents pass; dangling backpointers are just
deleted, and we can do that when using them - thus, backpointers ->
extents is now only run in debug mode.
extents -> backpointers does need to exist, since missing
backpointers would mean we can't find data to move it (for e.g.
copygc, device evacuate, scrub). But the new on disk format version
makes possible a new strategy where we sum up backpointers within a
bucket and check it against the bucket sector counts, and then only
scan for missing backpointers if the counts are off (and then, only
for specific buckets).
Full list of on disk format changes:
- 1.14: backpointer_bucket_gen
Backpointers now have a field for the bucket generation number,
replacing the obsolete bucket_offset field. This is needed for the
new "sum up backpointers within a bucket" code, since backpointers
use the btree write buffer - meaning we will see stale reads, and
this runs online, with the filesystem in full rw mode.
- 1.15: disk_accounting_big_endian
As previously described, fix the endianness of accounting keys so
that accounting keys with the same typetag sort together, and
accounting read can skip types it's not interested in.
- 1.16: reflink_p_may_update_opts:
This version indicates that a new reflink pointer field is
understood and may be used; the field indicates whether the reflink
pointer has permissions to update IO path options (e.g.
compression, replicas) may be updated on the indirect extent it
points to.
This completes the rebalance/reflink data path option handling from
the 6.13 pull request.
- 1.17: inode_depth
Add a new inode field, bi_depth, to accelerate the
check_directory_structure fsck path, which checks for loops in the
filesystem heirarchy.
check_inodes and check_dirents check connectivity, so
check_directory_structure only has to check for loops - by walking
back up to the root from every directory.
But a path can't be a loop if it has a counter that increases
monotonically from root to leaf - adding a depth counter means that
we can check for loops with only local (parent -> child) checks. We
might need to occasionally renumber the depth field in fsck if
directories have been moved around, but then future fsck runs will
be much faster.
- 1.18: persistent_inode_cursors
Previously, the cursor used for inode allocation was only kept in
memory, which meant that users with large filesystems and lots of
files were reporting that the first create after mounting would
take awhile - since it had to scan from the start.
Inode allocation cursors are now persistent, and also include a
generation field (incremented on wraparound, which will only happen
if inode allocation is restricted to 32 bit inodes), so that we
don't have to leave inode_generation keys around after a delete.
The option for 32 bit inode numbers may now also be set on
individual directories, and non-32 bit inode allocations are
disallowed from allocating from the 32 bit part of the inode number
space.
- 1.19: autofix_errors
Runtime self healing is now the default.o
- 1.20: directory size (from Hongbo)
directory i_size is now meaningful, and not 0"

Existing primitive has several problems:
1) calling conventions are clumsy - it returns a dentry reference
that is either identical to its second argument or is an ERR_PTR(-E...);
in both cases no refcount changes happen. Inconvenient for users and
bug-prone; it would be better to have it return 0 on success and -E... on
failure.
2) it allows cross-directory moves; however, no such caller have
ever materialized and considering the way debugfs is used, it's unlikely
to happen in the future. What's more, any such caller would have fun
issues to deal with wrt interplay with recursive removal. It also makes
the calling conventions clumsier...
3) tautological rename fails; the callers have no race-free way
to deal with that.
4) new name must have been formed by the caller; quite a few
callers have it done by sprintf/kasprintf/etc., ending up with considerable
boilerplate.
Proposed replacement: int debugfs_change_name(dentry, fmt, ...). All callers
convert to that easily, and it's simpler internally.
IMO debugfs_rename() should go; if we ever get a real-world use case for
cross-directory moves in debugfs, we can always look into the right way
to handle that.

Re-enabling NFSv3 LOCALIO is made more complex (than NFSv4) because v3
is stateless. As such, the hueristic used to identify a LOCALIO probe
point is more adhoc by nature: if/when NFSv3 client IO begins to
complete again in terms of normal RPC-based NFSv3 server IO, attempt
nfs_local_probe_async().
Care is taken to throttle the frequency of nfs_local_probe_async(),
otherwise there could be a flood of repeat calls to
nfs_local_probe_async().
The throttle is admin controlled using a new module parameter for
nfsv3, e.g.:
echo 512 > /sys/module/nfsv3/parameters/nfs3_localio_probe_throttle
Probe for NFSv3 LOCALIO every N IO requests (512 in this case). Must
be power-of-2, defaults to 0 (probing disabled).
On systems that expect to use LOCALIO with NFSv3 the admin should
configure the 'nfs3_localio_probe_throttle' module parameter.
This commit backfills module parameter documentation in localio.rst

This commit simply adds the required O_DIRECT plumbing. It doesn't
address the fact that NFS doesn't ensure all writes are page aligned
(nor device logical block size aligned as required by O_DIRECT).
Because NFS will read-modify-write for IO that isn't aligned, LOCALIO
will not use O_DIRECT semantics by default if/when an application
requests the use of O_DIRECT. Allow the use of O_DIRECT semantics by:
1: Adding a flag to the nfs_pgio_header struct to allow the NFS
O_DIRECT layer to signal that O_DIRECT was used by the application
2: Adding a 'localio_O_DIRECT_semantics' NFS module parameter that
when enabled will cause LOCALIO to use O_DIRECT semantics (this may
cause IO to fail if applications do not properly align their IO).
This commit is derived from code developed by Weston Andros Adamson.
