Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
  xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
  filesystems.

  The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
  and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
  to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
  jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.

  Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
  NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
  can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
  client decide to invalidate the cache.

  Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
  a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
  granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
  (e.g., backup applications).

  If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
  the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
  filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.

  This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
  actively queried.

  This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
  something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
  is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
  fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.

  As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
  must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
  only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.

  Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
  the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
  coarse-grained timestamps.

  Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:

   - Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
     together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
     maintainers provided necessary Acks.

   - Add new accessors for inode-&gt;i_ctime directly and change all
     callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode-&gt;i_ctime are now
     gone and it is accordingly rename to inode-&gt;__i_ctime and commented
     as requiring accessors.

   - Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
     sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
     mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.

   - Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
     parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.

   - Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
     removing a bunch of open-coding"

following detection, and in the process it messed up the
initialization of SuperSpeed (or faster) devices:

The problem was caused by the commit forgetting that in SuperSpeed or
faster devices, the device descriptor uses a logarithmic encoding of
the bMaxPacketSize0 value.  (For some reason I thought the 255 case in
the switch statement was meant for these devices, but it isn't -- it
was meant for Wireless USB and is no longer needed.)

We can fix the oversight by testing for buf-&gt;bMaxPacketSize0 = 9
(meaning 512, the actual maxpacket size for ep0 on all SuperSpeed
devices) and straightening out the logic that checks and adjusts our
initial guesses of the maxpacket value.

Wireless USB has long been defunct, and kernel support for it was
removed in 2020 by commit caa6772db4c1 ("Staging: remove wusbcore and
UWB from the kernel tree.").

Nevertheless, some vestiges of the old implementation still clutter up
the USB subsystem and one or two other places.  Let's get rid of them
once and for all.

The only parts still left are the user-facing APIs in
include/uapi/linux/usb/ch9.h.  (There are also a couple of misleading
instances, such as the Sierra Wireless USB modem, which is a USB modem
made by Sierra Wireless.)

As analyzed by Khazhy Kumykov, the cause of this bug is a race between
read_descriptors() and hub_port_init(): The first routine uses a field
in udev-&gt;descriptor, not expecting it to change, while the second
overwrites it.

Prior to commit 45bf39f8df7f ("USB: core: Don't hold device lock while
reading the "descriptors" sysfs file") this race couldn't occur,
because the routines were mutually exclusive thanks to the device
locking.  Removing that locking from read_descriptors() exposed it to
the race.

The best way to fix the bug is to keep hub_port_init() from changing
udev-&gt;descriptor once udev has been initialized and registered.
Drivers expect the descriptors stored in the kernel to be immutable;
we should not undermine this expectation.  In fact, this change should
have been made long ago.

So now hub_port_init() will take an additional argument, specifying a
buffer in which to store the device descriptor it reads.  (If udev has
not yet been initialized, the buffer pointer will be NULL and then
hub_port_init() will store the device descriptor in udev as before.)
This eliminates the data race responsible for the out-of-bounds read.

The changes to hub_port_init() appear more extensive than they really
are, because of indentation changes resulting from an attempt to avoid
writing to other parts of the usb_device structure after it has been
initialized.  Similar changes should be made to the code that reads
the BOS descriptor, but that can be handled in a separate patch later
on.  This patch is sufficient to fix the bug found by syzbot.

The usb_get_device_descriptor() routine reads the device descriptor
from the udev device and stores it directly in udev-&gt;descriptor.  This
interface is error prone, because the USB subsystem expects in-memory
copies of a device's descriptors to be immutable once the device has
been initialized.

The interface is changed so that the device descriptor is left in a
kmalloc-ed buffer, not copied into the usb_device structure.  A
pointer to the buffer is returned to the caller, who is then
responsible for kfree-ing it.  The corresponding changes needed in the
various callers are fairly small.

<title>USB: core: Unite old scheme and new scheme descriptor reads</title>

<content type='text'>
In preparation for reworking the usb_get_device_descriptor() routine,
it is desirable to unite the two different code paths responsible for
initially determining endpoint 0's maximum packet size in a newly
discovered USB device.  Making this determination presents a
chicken-and-egg sort of problem, in that the only way to learn the
maxpacket value is to get it from the device descriptor retrieved from
the device, but communicating with the device to retrieve a descriptor
requires us to know beforehand the ep0 maxpacket size.

In practice this problem is solved in two different ways, referred to
in hub.c as the "old scheme" and the "new scheme".  The old scheme
(which is the approach recommended by the USB-2 spec) involves asking
the device to send just the first eight bytes of its device
descriptor.  Such a transfer uses packets containing no more than
eight bytes each, and every USB device must have an ep0 maxpacket size
&gt;= 8, so this should succeed.  Since the bMaxPacketSize0 field of the
device descriptor lies within the first eight bytes, this is all we
need.

The new scheme is an imitation of the technique used in an early
Windows USB implementation, giving it the happy advantage of working
with a wide variety of devices (some of them at the time would not
work with the old scheme, although that's probably less true now).  It
involves making an initial guess of the ep0 maxpacket size, asking the
device to send up to 64 bytes worth of its device descriptor (which is
only 18 bytes long), and then resetting the device to clear any error
condition that might have resulted from the guess being wrong.  The
initial guess is determined by the connection speed; it should be
correct in all cases other than full speed, for which the allowed
values are 8, 16, 32, and 64 (in this case the initial guess is 64).

The reason for this patch is that the old- and new-scheme parts of
hub_port_init() use different code paths, one involving
usb_get_device_descriptor() and one not, for their initial reads of
the device descriptor.  Since these reads have essentially the same
purpose and are made under essentially the same circumstances, this is
illogical.  It makes more sense to have both of them use a common
subroutine.

This subroutine does basically what the new scheme's code did, because
that approach is more general than the one used by the old scheme.  It
only needs to know how many bytes to transfer and whether or not it is
being called for the first iteration of a retry loop (in case of
certain time-out errors).  There are two main differences from the
former code:

	We initialize the bDescriptorType field of the transfer buffer
	to 0 before performing the transfer, to avoid possibly
	accessing an uninitialized value afterward.

	We read the device descriptor into a temporary buffer rather
	than storing it directly into udev-&gt;descriptor, which the old
	scheme implementation used to do.

Since the whole point of this first read of the device descriptor is
to determine the bMaxPacketSize0 value, that is what the new routine
returns (or an error code).  The value is stored in a local variable
rather than in udev-&gt;descriptor.  As a side effect, this necessitates
moving a section of code that checks the bcdUSB field for SuperSpeed
devices until after the full device descriptor has been retrieved.

the device descriptor.  Since these reads have essentially the same
purpose and are made under essentially the same circumstances, this is
illogical.  It makes more sense to have both of them use a common
subroutine.

This subroutine does basically what the new scheme's code did, because
that approach is more general than the one used by the old scheme.  It
only needs to know how many bytes to transfer and whether or not it is
being called for the first iteration of a retry loop (in case of
certain time-out errors).  There are two main differences from the
former code:

	We initialize the bDescriptorType field of the transfer buffer
	to 0 before performing the transfer, to avoid possibly
	accessing an uninitialized value afterward.

	We read the device descriptor into a temporary buffer rather
	than storing it directly into udev-&gt;descriptor, which the old
	scheme implementation used to do.

Since the whole point of this first read of the device descriptor is
to determine the bMaxPacketSize0 value, that is what the new routine
returns (or an error code).  The value is stored in a local variable
rather than in udev-&gt;descriptor.  As a side effect, this necessitates
moving a section of code that checks the bcdUSB field for SuperSpeed
devices until after the full device descriptor has been retrieved.
