Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "Three main updates: folio conversion by Matthew, switch to a new mount
  API by Hongbo and Eric, and several sysfs entries to tune GCs for ZUFS
  with finer granularity by Daeho.

  There are also patches to address bugs and issues in the existing
  features such as GCs, file pinning, write-while-dio-read, contingous
  block allocation, and memory access violations.

  Enhancements:
   - switch to new mount API and folio conversion
   - add sysfs nodes to controle F2FS GCs for ZUFS
   - improve performance on the nat entry cache
   - drop inode from the donation list when the last file is closed
   - avoid splitting bio when reading multiple pages

  Bug fixes:
   - fix to trigger foreground gc during f2fs_map_blocks() in lfs mode
   - make sure zoned device GC to use FG_GC in shortage of free section
   - fix to calculate dirty data during has_not_enough_free_secs()
   - fix to update upper_p in __get_secs_required() correctly
   - wait for inflight dio completion, excluding pinned files read using dio
   - don't break allocation when crossing contiguous sections
   - vm_unmap_ram() may be called from an invalid context
   - fix to avoid out-of-boundary access in dnode page
   - fix to avoid panic in f2fs_evict_inode
   - fix to avoid UAF in f2fs_sync_inode_meta()
   - fix to use f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr_raw() in do_write_page()
   - fix UAF of f2fs_inode_info in f2fs_free_dic
   - fix to avoid invalid wait context issue
   - fix bio memleak when committing super block
   - handle nat.blkaddr corruption in f2fs_get_node_info()

  In addition, there are also clean-ups and minor bug fixes"

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
  after lengthy discussions.

  Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
  the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
  started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
  makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
  operations.

  These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
  special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.

  XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
  inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
  directory.

  The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
  FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
  files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
  with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
  accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
  in the case when special files are created in the directory with
  already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
  attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
  attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
  possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
  prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
  files.

  In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
  additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
  legacy ioctls anymore"

Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Last cycle we introduce f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm:
  introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback").

  This is preferred to the existing f_op-&gt;mmap() hook as it does require
  a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke
  this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual
  address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations.

  This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a
  single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly
  reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state.

  Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of
  incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been
  the cause of bugs and complexity in the past.

  The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op-&gt;mmap, and in that vein this
  series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare.

  Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap
  capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than
  directly checking for f_op-&gt;mmap (which is now not a valid check) and
  secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA
  parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted.

  Commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for
  nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file
  systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow
  f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op-&gt;mmap() callback.

  This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly
  with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we
  finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed.

  As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they
  can nest all other file systems.

  We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to
  remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later
  series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping
  insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs,
  syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.
  We shall return to all of these later"

Pull misc VFS updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.

  Features:

   - Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support

     This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and
     write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
     argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate
     to the filesystem's buffered I/O path.

     Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag
     and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.

     Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to
     bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of
     directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb.
     Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with
     kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.

  Cleanups:

   - don't duplicate vfs_open() in kernel_file_open()

   - proc_fd_getattr(): don't bother with S_ISDIR() check

   - fs/ecryptfs: replace snprintf with sysfs_emit in show function

   - vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() from
     evict_inodes()

   - filelock: add new locks_wake_up_waiter() helper

   - fs: Remove three arguments from block_write_end()

   - VFS: change old_dir and new_dir in struct renamedata to dentrys

   - netfs: Remove unused declaration netfs_queue_write_request()

  Fixes:

   - eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion

   - eventpoll: fix sphinx documentation build warning

   - fs/read_write: Fix spelling typo

   - fs: annotate data race between poll_schedule_timeout() and
     pollwake()

Pull misc VFS updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.

  Features:

   - Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support

     This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and
     write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
     argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate
     to the filesystem's buffered I/O path.

     Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag
     and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.

     Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to
     bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of
     directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb.
     Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with
     kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.

  Cleanups:

   - don't duplicate vfs_open() in kernel_file_open()

   - proc_fd_getattr(): don't bother with S_ISDIR() check

   - fs/ecryptfs: replace snprintf with sysfs_emit in show function

   - vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() from
     evict_inodes()

   - filelock: add new locks_wake_up_waiter() helper

   - fs: Remove three arguments from block_write_end()

   - VFS: change old_dir and new_dir in struct renamedata to dentrys

   - netfs: Remove unused declaration netfs_queue_write_request()

  Fixes:

   - eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion

   - eventpoll: fix sphinx documentation build warning

   - fs/read_write: Fix spelling typo

   - fs: annotate data race between poll_schedule_timeout() and
     pollwake()

   - fs/pipe: set FMODE_NOWAIT in create_pipe_files()

   - docs/vfs: update references to i_mutex to i_rwsem

   - fs/buffer: remove comment about hard sectorsize

   - fs/buffer: remove the min and max limit checks in __getblk_slow()

   - fs/libfs: don't assume blocksize &lt;= PAGE_SIZE in

<title>f2fs: fix to trigger foreground gc during f2fs_map_blocks() in lfs mode</title>

w/ "mode=lfs" mount option, generic/299 will cause system panic as below:

RIP: 0010:new_curseg+0x70f/0x720

The root cause of we run out-of-space is: in f2fs_map_blocks(), f2fs may
trigger foreground gc only if it allocates any physical block, it will be
a little bit later when there is multiple threads writing data w/
aio/dio/bufio method in parallel, since we always use OPU in lfs mode, so
f2fs_map_blocks() does block allocations aggressively.

In order to fix this issue, let's give a chance to trigger foreground
gc in prior to block allocation in f2fs_map_blocks().

<title>f2fs: fix to calculate dirty data during has_not_enough_free_secs()</title>

In lfs mode, dirty data needs OPU, we'd better calculate lower_p and
upper_p w/ them during has_not_enough_free_secs(), otherwise we may
encounter out-of-space issue due to we missed to reclaim enough
free section w/ foreground gc.
