Currently a device is only really released once the umount returns to
userspace due to how file closing works. That ultimately could cause
an old umount assumption to be violated that concurrent umount and mount
don't fail. So an exclusively held device with a temporary holder should
be yielded before the filesystem is gone. Add a helper that allows
callers to do that. This also allows us to remove the two holder ops
that Linus wasn't excited about.

Yes, yes, I know the slab people were planning on going slow and letting
every subsystem fight this thing on their own.  But let's just rip off
the band-aid and get it over and done with.  I don't want to see a
number of unnecessary pull requests just to get rid of a flag that no
longer has any meaning.

This was mainly done with a couple of 'sed' scripts and then some manual
cleanup of the end result.

Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
  device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
  support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
  devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
  operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.

  That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
  to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
  that return a bdev_handle.

  Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
  equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
  devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
  introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
  bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
  file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
  opening and closing a file.

  This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
  block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
  places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
  kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
  Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
  file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
  closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.

  The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
  is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
  We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
  are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
  removable completely.

  A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
  possible to remove bdev-&gt;bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
  buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
  now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
  block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Misc features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual filesystems.

  Features:

   - Support idmapped mounts for hugetlbfs.

   - Add RWF_NOAPPEND flag for pwritev2(). This allows us to fix a bug
     where the passed offset is ignored if the file is O_APPEND. The new
     flag allows a caller to enforce that the offset is honored to
     conform to posix even if the file was opened in append mode.

   - Move i_mmap_rwsem in struct address_space to avoid false sharing
     between i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem.

   - Convert efs, qnx4, and coda to use the new mount api.

   - Add a generic is_dot_dotdot() helper that's used by various
     filesystems and the VFS code instead of open-coding it multiple
     times.

   - Recently we've added stable offsets which allows stable ordering
     when iterating directories exported through NFS on e.g., tmpfs
     filesystems. Originally an xarray was used for the offset map but
     that caused slab fragmentation issues over time. This switches the
     offset map to the maple tree which has a dense mode that handles
     this scenario a lot better. Includes tests.

   - Finally merge the case-insensitive improvement series Gabriel has
     been working on for a long time. This cleanly propagates case
     insensitive operations through -&gt;s_d_op which in turn allows us to
     remove the quite ugly generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops() operations.
     It also improves performance by trying a case-sensitive comparison
     first and then fallback to case-insensitive lookup if that fails.
     This also fixes a bug where overlayfs would be able to be mounted
     over a case insensitive directory which would lead to all sort of
     odd behaviors.

  Cleanups:

   - Make file_dentry() a simple accessor now that -&gt;d_real() is
     simplified because of the backing file work we did the last two
     cycles.

   - Use the dedicated file_mnt_idmap helper in ntfs3.

   - Use smp_load_acquire/store_release() in the i_size_read/write
     helpers and thus remove the hack to handle i_size reads in the
     filemap code.

   - The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is a nop now. Remove it from various places in
     fs/

   - It's no longer necessary to perform a second built-in initramfs
     unpack call because we retain the contents of the previous
     extraction. Remove it.

   - Now that we have removed various allocators kfree_rcu() always
     works with kmem caches and kmalloc(). So simplify various places
     that only use an rcu callback in order to handle the kmem cache
     case.

   - Convert the pipe code to use a lockdep comparison function instead
     of open-coding the nesting making lockdep validation easier.

   - Move code into fs-writeback.c that was located in a header but can
     be made static as it's only used in that one file.

   - Rewrite the alignment checking iterators for iovec and bvec to be
     easier to read, and also significantly more compact in terms of
     generated code. This saves 270 bytes of text on x86-64 (with
     clang-18) and 224 bytes on arm64 (with gcc-13). In profiles it also
     saves a bit of time for the same workload.

   - Switch various places to use KMEM_CACHE instead of
     kmem_cache_create().

   - Use inode_set_ctime_to_ts() in inode_set_ctime_current()

   - Use kzalloc() in name_to_handle_at() to avoid kernel infoleak.

   - Various smaller cleanups for eventfds.

  Fixes:

   - Fix various comments and typos, and unneeded initializations.

   - Fix stack allocation hack for clang in the select code.

   - Improve dump_mapping() debug code on a best-effort basis.

   - Fix build errors in various selftests.

   - Avoid wrap-around instrumentation in various places.

   - Don't allow user namespaces without an idmapping to be used for
     idmapped mounts.

   - Fix sysv sb_read() call.

   - Fix fallback implementation of the get_name() export operation"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Misc features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual filesystems.

  Features:

   - Support idmapped mounts for hugetlbfs.

   - Add RWF_NOAPPEND flag for pwritev2(). This allows us to fix a bug
     where the passed offset is ignored if the file is O_APPEND. The new
     flag allows a caller to enforce that the offset is honored to
     conform to posix even if the file was opened in append mode.

   - Move i_mmap_rwsem in struct address_space to avoid false sharing
     between i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem.

   - Convert efs, qnx4, and coda to use the new mount api.

   - Add a generic is_dot_dotdot() helper that's used by various
     filesystems and the VFS code instead of open-coding it multiple
     times.

   - Recently we've added stable offsets which allows stable ordering
     when iterating directories exported through NFS on e.g., tmpfs
     filesystems. Originally an xarray was used for the offset map but
     that caused slab fragmentation issues over time. This switches the
     offset map to the maple tree which has a dense mode that handles
     this scenario a lot better. Includes tests.

   - Finally merge the case-insensitive improvement series Gabriel has
     been working on for a long time. This cleanly propagates case
     insensitive operations through -&gt;s_d_op which in turn allows us to
     remove the quite ugly generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops() operations.
     It also improves performance by trying a case-sensitive comparison
     first and then fallback to case-insensitive lookup if that fails.
     This also fixes a bug where overlayfs would be able to be mounted
     over a case insensitive directory which would lead to all sort of
     odd behaviors.

  Cleanups:

   - Make file_dentry() a simple accessor now that -&gt;d_real() is
     simplified because of the backing file work we did the last two
     cycles.

   - Use the dedicated file_mnt_idmap helper in ntfs3.

   - Use smp_load_acquire/store_release() in the i_size_read/write
     helpers and thus remove the hack to handle i_size reads in the
     filemap code.

   - The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is a nop now. Remove it from various places in
     fs/

   - It's no longer necessary to perform a second built-in initramfs
     unpack call because we retain the contents of the previous
     extraction. Remove it.

   - Now that we have removed various allocators kfree_rcu() always
     works with kmem caches and kmalloc(). So simplify various places
     that only use an rcu callback in order to handle the kmem cache
     case.

   - Convert the pipe code to use a lockdep comparison function instead
     of open-coding the nesting making lockdep validation easier.

   - Move code into fs-writeback.c that was located in a header but can
     be made static as it's only used in that one file.

   - Rewrite the alignment checking iterators for iovec and bvec to be
     easier to read, and also significantly more compact in terms of
     generated code. This saves 270 bytes of text on x86-64 (with
     clang-18) and 224 bytes on arm64 (with gcc-13). In profiles it also
     saves a bit of time for the same workload.

   - Switch various places to use KMEM_CACHE instead of
     kmem_cache_create().

   - Use inode_set_ctime_to_ts() in inode_set_ctime_current()

   - Use kzalloc() in name_to_handle_at() to avoid kernel infoleak.

   - Various smaller cleanups for eventfds.

  Fixes:

   - Fix various comments and typos, and unneeded initializations.

   - Fix stack allocation hack for clang in the select code.

   - Improve dump_mapping() debug code on a best-effort basis.

   - Fix build errors in various selftests.

   - Avoid wrap-around instrumentation in various places.

   - Don't allow user namespaces without an idmapping to be used for
     idmapped mounts.

   - Fix sysv sb_read() call.

   - Fix fallback implementation of the get_name() export operation"

Although there is no concurrent block allocation/free in unit test,
internal functions mb_mark_used and mb_free_blocks assert group
lock is always held. Acquire group before calling mb_mark_used and
mb_free_blocks in unit test to avoid the assertion.
