Add the 'k' prefix to id 21000. And id `u1000` in the third
idmapping should be mapped to `k31000`, not `u31000`.

Add an (initial?) patch submission checklist, focusing mainly on
testing.

Yes, all patches must be tested, and that starts (but does not end) with
the patch author.

 "Provide stable parent and name to -&gt;d_revalidate() instances

  Most of the filesystem methods where we care about dentry name and

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

<title>9p: fix -&gt;rename_sem exclusion</title>
<updated>2025-01-28T00:25:24+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Al Viro</name>
<email>viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk</email>
</author>
<published>2025-01-06T02:33:17+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=30d61efe118cad1a73ad2ad66a3298e4abdf9f41'/>
<id>30d61efe118cad1a73ad2ad66a3298e4abdf9f41</id>
<content type='text'>
9p wants to be able to build a path from given dentry to fs root and keep
it valid over a blocking operation.

-&gt;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 -&gt;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 -&gt;rename() rather than in its caller
	* maintain a 9p-private rwsem (per-filesystem)
	* hold it exclusive over the relevant part of -&gt;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 -&gt;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 -&gt;lookup() will move/rename that alias.

Add a couple of optional methods, so that __d_unalias() would do
	if alias-&gt;d_op-&gt;d_unalias_trylock != NULL
		if (!alias-&gt;d_op-&gt;d_unalias_trylock(alias))
			fail (resulting in -ESTALE from lookup)
	__d_move(...)
	if alias-&gt;d_op-&gt;d_unalias_unlock != NULL
		alias-&gt;d_unalias_unlock(alias)
where it currently does __d_move().  9p instances do down_write_trylock()
and up_write() of -&gt;rename_mutex.

9p wants to be able to build a path from given dentry to fs root and keep
it valid over a blocking operation.

-&gt;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 -&gt;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 -&gt;rename() rather than in its caller
	* maintain a 9p-private rwsem (per-filesystem)
	* hold it exclusive over the relevant part of -&gt;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 -&gt;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 -&gt;lookup() will move/rename that alias.

Add a couple of optional methods, so that __d_unalias() would do
	if alias-&gt;d_op-&gt;d_unalias_trylock != NULL
		if (!alias-&gt;d_op-&gt;d_unalias_trylock(alias))
			fail (resulting in -ESTALE from lookup)
	__d_move(...)
	if alias-&gt;d_op-&gt;d_unalias_unlock != NULL
		alias-&gt;d_unalias_unlock(alias)
where it currently does __d_move().  9p instances do down_write_trylock()
and up_write() of -&gt;rename_mutex.

<title>Pass parent directory inode and expected name to -&gt;d_revalidate()</title>

-&gt;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 -&gt;d_parent and -&gt;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 -&gt;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-&gt;name will normally
point into the pathname being resolved; the filename in question occupies
name-&gt;len bytes starting at name-&gt;name, and there is NUL somewhere after it,
but it the next byte might very well be '/' rather than '\0'.  Do not
ignore name-&gt;len.

 "The various patchsets are summarized below. Plus of course many
  indivudual patches which are described in their changelogs.

   - "Allocate and free frozen pages" from Matthew Wilcox reorganizes

     Brodsky cleans up the pagetable destructor implementations. A rare
     use-after-free race is fixed

   - "mm/debug: introduce and use VM_WARN_ON_VMG()" from Lorenzo Stoakes
     simplifies and cleans up the debugging code in the VMA merging
     logic

   - "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up
     and regularizes the pagetable ctor/dtor handling. This results in
     improvements in accounting accuracy

     overlaps with struct page for now. This is part of the effort to
     reduce the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of
     memory descriptors

   - "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes
     and simplifies the swap allocator locking. A speedup of 400% was
