Hey Linus,
/* Summary */
This contains various fixes for this cycle:
- For some reason we went from zero to three maintainers for HFS/HFS+ in
a matter of days. The lesson to learn from this might just be that we
need to threaten code removal more often!?
- Fix a regression introduced by enabling large folios for lage logical
block sizes. This has caused issues for noref migration with large
folios due to sleeping while in an atomic context.
New sleeping variants of pagecache lookup helpers are introduced.
These helpers take the folio lock instead of the mapping's private
spinlock. The problematic users are converted to the sleeping variants
and serialize against noref migration. Atomic users will bail on
seeing the new BH_Migrate flag.
This also shrinks the critical region of the mapping's private lock
and the new blocking callers reduce contention on the spinlock for
bdev mappings.
- Fix two bugs in do_move_mount() when with MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH.
The first bug is using a mountpoint that is located on a mount we're
not holding a reference to. The second bug is putting the mountpoint
after we've called namespace_unlock() as it's no longer guaranteed
that it does stay a mountpoint.
- Remove a pointless call to vfs_getattr_nosec() in the devtmpfs code
just to query i_mode instead of simply querying the inode directly.
This also avoids lifetime issues for the dm code by an earlier bugfix
this cycle that moved bdev_statx() handling into vfs_getattr_nosec().
- Fix AT_FDCWD handling with getname_maybe_null() in the xattr code.
- Fix a performance regression for files when multiple callers issue a
close when it's not the last reference.
- Remove a duplicate noinline annotation from pipe_clear_nowait().
