<title>fs: efs: remove unneeded debug prints</title>

[ Upstream commit 89009392c80da5da00876c8334ff20028e6e3eb6 ]

The current code uses debug prints conditionally compiled with #ifdef
DEBUG.  However, that code, when compiled, causes compiler errors due to
incompatible formatters and undefined variables, notably:

fs/efs/file.c: In function `efs_get_block':
fs/efs/file.c:26:35: error: `block' undeclared (first use in this
function); did you mean `iblock'?
  26 |                         __func__, block, inode-&gt;i_blocks, inode-&gt;i_size);
     |                                   ^~~~~

and:

fs/efs/file.c: In function `efs_bmap':
./include/linux/kern_levels.h:5:25: error: format `%ld' expects
argument of type `long int', but argument 4 has type `blkcnt_t' {aka
`long long unsigned int'} [-Werror=format=]
   5 | #define KERN_SOH        "\001"          /* ASCII Start Of Header */
     |                         ^~~~~~

which also extends to the other formatters.  As this part of the code has
been dead for just about 14 years now, it has not been modernized to stay
compatible with the most recent gcc compilers.  Fix these issues by
removing the debug prints.

Remove the conversion back into a page and use the folio APIs throughout.
Remove the setting of PG_error instead of converting it; it is unused
by core code or by the rest of EFS, so it serves no purpose here.

<title>efs: remove SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag usage</title>

<content type='text'>
The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag used to be implemented in SLAB, which was
removed as of v6.8-rc1 (see [1]), so it became a dead flag since the
commit 16a1d968358a ("mm/slab: remove mm/slab.c and slab_def.h"). And
the series[1] went on to mark it obsolete explicitly to avoid confusion
for users. Here we can just remove all its users, which has no any
functional change.

Pull vfs fanotify fsid updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This work is part of the plan to enable fanotify to serve as a drop-in
  replacement for inotify. While inotify is availabe on all filesystems,
  fanotify currently isn't.

  In order to support fanotify on all filesystems two things are needed:

   (1) all filesystems need to support AT_HANDLE_FID

   (2) all filesystems need to report a non-zero f_fsid

  This contains (1) and allows filesystems to encode non-decodable file
  handlers for fanotify without implementing any exportfs operations by
  encoding a file id of type FILEID_INO64_GEN from i_ino and
  i_generation.

  Filesystems that want to opt out of encoding non-decodable file ids
  for fanotify that don't support NFS export can do so by providing an
  empty export_operations struct.

  This also partially addresses (2) by generating f_fsid for simple
  filesystems as well as freevxfs. Remaining filesystems will be dealt
  with by separate patches.

  Finally, this contains the patch from the current exportfs maintainers
  which moves exportfs under vfs with Chuck, Jeff, and Amir as
  maintainers and vfs.git as tree"

Rename the default helper for encoding FILEID_INO32_GEN* file handles to
generic_encode_ino32_fh() and convert the filesystems that used the
default implementation to use the generic helper explicitly.

After this change, exportfs_encode_inode_fh() no longer has a default
implementation to encode FILEID_INO32_GEN* file handles.

This is a step towards allowing filesystems to encode non-decodeable
file handles for fanotify without having to implement any
export_operations.
