The efivarfs filesystems must always be frozen and thawed to resync
variable state. Make it so.

When sb_min_blocksize() returns 0 and the return value is not checked,
it may lead to a situation where sb->s_blocksize is 0 when
accessing the filesystem super block. After commit a64e5a596067bd
("bdev: add back PAGE_SIZE block size validation for
sb_set_blocksize()"), this becomes more likely to happen when the
block device’s logical_block_size is larger than PAGE_SIZE and the
filesystem is unformatted. Add the __must_check attribute to ensure
callers always check the return value.

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
 "Mike Snitzer has prototyped a mechanism for disabling I/O caching in
  NFSD. This is introduced in v6.18 as an experimental feature. This
  enables scaling NFSD in /both/ directions:

   - NFS service can be supported on systems with small memory
     footprints, such as low-cost cloud instances

   - Large NFS workloads will be less likely to force the eviction of
     server-local activity, helping it avoid thrashing

  Jeff Layton contributed a number of fixes to the new attribute
  delegation implementation (based on a pending Internet RFC) that we
  hope will make attribute delegation reliable enough to enable by
  default, as it is on the Linux NFS client.

  The remaining patches in this pull request are clean-ups and minor
  optimizations. Many thanks to the contributors, reviewers, testers,
  and bug reporters who participated during the v6.18 NFSD development
  cycle"

 "Only one thing was modifying ->f_path of an opened file - acct(2).

  Massaging that away and constifying a bunch of struct path * arguments
  in functions that might be given &file->f_path ends up with the
  situation where we can turn ->f_path into an anon union of const

Pull overlayfs updates from Amir Goldstein:

 - Work by André Almeida to support case-insensitive overlayfs

   Underlying case-insensitive filesystems casefolding is per directory,
   but for overlayfs it is all-or-nothing. It supports layers where all
   directories are casefolded (with same encoding) or layers where no
   directories are casefolded.

 - A fix for a "bug" in Neil's ovl directory lock changes, which only
   manifested itself with casefold enabled layers which may return an
   unhashed negative dentry from lookup.

* tag 'ovl-update-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/overlayfs/vfs:
  ovl: make sure that ovl_create_real() returns a hashed dentry
  ovl: Support mounting case-insensitive enabled layers
  ovl: Check for casefold consistency when creating new dentries
  ovl: Add S_CASEFOLD as part of the inode flag to be copied
  ovl: Set case-insensitive dentry operations for ovl sb

Pull vfs mount updates from Al Viro:
 "Several piles this cycle, this mount-related one being the largest and
  trickiest:

   - saner handling of guards in fs/namespace.c, getting rid of
     needlessly strong locking in some of the users

   - lock_mount() calling conventions change - have it set the
     environment for attaching to given location, storing the results in
     caller-supplied object, without altering the passed struct path.

     Make unlock_mount() called as __cleanup for those objects. It's not
     exactly guard(), but similar to it

   - MNT_WRITE_HOLD done right.

     mnt_hold_writers() does *not* mess with ->mnt_flags anymore, so
     insertion of a new mount into ->s_mounts of underlying superblock
     does not, in itself, expose ->mnt_flags of that mount to concurrent
     modifications

   - getting rid of pathological cases when umount() spends quadratic
     time removing the victims from propagation graph - part of that had
     been dealt with last cycle, this should finish it
