If you try to set /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags to 1 it
will set them to CIFSSEC_MUST_NTLMV2 which no longer is
relevant (the less secure ones like lanman have been removed
from cifs.ko) and is also missing some flags (like for
signing and encryption) and can even cause mount to fail,
so change this to set it to Kerberos in this case.

Also change the description of the SecurityFlags to remove mention
of flags which are no longer supported.

Pull btrfs fixes from David Sterba:
 "Fix a regression in extent map shrinker behaviour.

  In the past weeks we got reports from users that there are huge
  latency spikes or freezes. This was bisected to newly added shrinker
  of extent maps (it was added to fix a build up of the structures in
  memory).

  I'm assuming that the freezes would happen to many users after release
  so I'd like to get it merged now so it's in 6.10. Although the diff
  size is not small the changes are relatively straightforward, the
  reporters verified the fixes and we did testing on our side.

  The fixes:

   - adjust behaviour under memory pressure and check lock or scheduling
     conditions, bail out if needed

   - synchronize tracking of the scanning progress so inode ranges are
     not skipped or work duplicated

   - do a delayed iput when scanning a root so evicting an inode does
     not slow things down in case of lots of dirty data, also fix
     lockdep warning, a deadlock could happen when writing the dirty
     data would need to start a transaction"

   - Use the newly added fscache_ty_get_volume() helper to get a

     about to be removed cleanly

   - After withdrawing a fscache_cache via FSCACHE_CACHE_IS_WITHDRAWN
     wait for all ongoing cookie lookups to complete and for the object
     count to reach zero

   - Propagate errors from vfs_getxattr() to avoid an infinite loop in

   - Don't send new requests when an object is dropped by raising
     CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND_OJBSTATE_DROPPING

   - Cancel all requests for an object that is about to be dropped

   - Wait for the ondemand_boject_worker to finish before dropping a
     cachefiles object to prevent use-after-free

   - Use cyclic allocation for message ids to better handle id recycling

   - Add missing lock protection when iterating through the xarray when
     polling

   - Use standard logging helpers for debug logging

  VFS:

   - Fix potential use-after-free in file locks during
     trace_posix_lock_inode(). The tracepoint could fire while another
     task raced it and freed the lock that was requested to be traced

   - Only increment the nr_dentry_negative counter for dentries that are

     is used. So checking only DCACHE_LRU_LIST will lead to wrong

We store the progress (root and inode numbers) of the extent map shrinker
in fs_info without any synchronization but we can have multiple tasks
calling into the shrinker during memory allocations when there's enough
memory pressure for example.

This can result in a task A reading fs_info-&gt;extent_map_shrinker_last_ino
after another task B updates it, and task A reading
fs_info-&gt;extent_map_shrinker_last_root before task B updates it, making
task A see an odd state that isn't necessarily harmful but may make it
skip certain inode ranges or do more work than necessary by going over
the same inodes again. These unprotected accesses would also trigger
warnings from tools like KCSAN.

So add a lock to protect access to these progress fields.
