Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "binfmt_misc:

   - Don't let an 'F' entry pin its own instance.

     An entry registered with 'F' opens its interpreter at registration
     time and holds that file until the entry is freed, so an entry
     nobody removes by hand is only closed once the binfmt_misc
     superblock is shut down.

     If the interpreter lives on a mount that keeps that superblock
     alive the two pin each other and the file is never closed. That's
     reachable by pointing the interpreter at the instance itself or by
     using the instance as an overlayfs lower layer, and once the mount
     namespace is gone there's nothing left to unregister through
     either.

   - Restore write access when removing an entry.

     Registering with the MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE flag opens the interpreter
     via open_exec() which denies write access for as long as the entry
     exists, but removal only did filp_close() and never restored it.
     The inode's i_writecount stayed permanently negative and opening
     the interpreter for writing kept failing with ETXTBSY long after
     the entry was gone.

   - Use exe_file_deny_write_access() for the interpreter clone so both
     sides base their decision on the same mode.

   - Reject a flag character as the field delimiter. create_entry() pads
     the buffer with the delimiter so the field parsers terminate even
     on a truncated string, but check_special_flags() consumes flag
     characters instead of scanning for the delimiter.

     If the delimiter is itself a flag character the padding stops
     acting as a terminator and the scan keeps reading past the end of
     the allocation. Such a registration was always rejected, just only
     after the out of bounds read has already happened.

   - Don't leak the user namespace when the mount fails.

     bm_get_tree() hands its reference to get_tree_keyed() and sget_fc()
     moves it into sb-&gt;s_fs_info, but generic_shutdown_super() only
     calls -&gt;put_super() from inside the if (sb-&gt;s_root) branch and
     bm_fill_super() can fail before either s_root or s_op is in place.

     Drop the reference in -&gt;kill_sb() instead, which runs
     unconditionally.

  netfs:

   - Clear PG_private_2 on a copy-to-cache append failure.

   - Handle a rolling buffer allocation failure in single-object
     writeback and drop the extra folio reference
     netfs_write_folio_single() took before the append.

   - Release the previously batched readahead folios when
     rolling_buffer_load_from_ra() fails in
     netfs_prepare_read_iterator()

   - Fix the folio_queue ENOMEM in writeback by adding a mempool and
     passing gfp flags into the rolling buffer helpers.

  iomap:

   - Add a separate bio_set for iomap_split_ioend(). It can split bios
     that already come from iomap_ioend_bioset and deadlock once that
     bioset is exhausted.

  afs:

   - Set call-&gt;async for an asynchronous afs_fs_fetch_data() the way
     afs_fs_fetch_data64() already does.

   - Subtract subreq-&gt;transferred from subreq-&gt;len in
     afs_fs_fetch_data() rather than adding it.

   - Fix a UAF when sending a message"

<title>scsi: libsas: terminate deferred commands on time out</title>

<content type='text'>
If a command times out while we have deferred non-NCQ commands waiting to
be issued, the SCSI EH task is not immediately woken up as the waiting
deferred commands are never issued nor completed, thus leaving the SCSI
host in a busy state (shost-&gt;host_failed != scsi_host_busy(shost)) which
prevents the SCSI EH task from being woken up. Eventually, when the
deferred commands also time out, the SCSI EH task is woken up and the
timeout processing occurs.

Avoid this unnecessary additional SCSI EH wake up time with the same
method as implemented in libata-scsi, using the eh_timed_out SCSI host
template operation. The function sas_eh_timed_out() implements this
operation and executes the function ata_scsi_retry_deferred_qc()
for SATA devices.

If a command times out while we have deferred non-NCQ commands waiting to
be issued, the SCSI EH task is not immediately woken up as the waiting
deferred commands are never issued nor completed, thus leaving the SCSI
host in a busy state (shost-&gt;host_failed != scsi_host_busy(shost)) which
prevents the SCSI EH task from being woken up. Eventually, when the
deferred commands also time out, the SCSI EH task is woken up and the
timeout processing occurs.

Avoid this unnecessary SCSI EH task wake-up additional time by scheduling
a retry of all waiting deferred QCs, using the eh_timed_out SCSI host
template operation. The function ata_scsi_eh_timed_out() is introduced to
implement this operation.

However, terminating deferred commands with DID_REQUEUE to force a retry
by calling the function ata_scsi_requeue_deferred_qc() may still keep the
SCSI host in a busy state because the block layer may immediately re-issue
these commands. The solution to this is to schedule libata EH for the
port which suffered the command timeout to prevent accepting any new
command. ata_scsi_requeue_deferred_qc() is modified to add a call to
ata_port_schedule_eh() for this purpose.

In addition to this change, ata_scsi_requeue_deferred_qc() is also
modified to take a new timedout_scmd scsi command argument which indicates
the SCSI command that timed out. With this additional argument,
ata_scsi_requeue_deferred_qc() can now also terminate with DID_TIME_OUT
any timed out deferred qc, which simplifies ata_scsi_cmd_error_handler().
In this case, ata_scsi_requeue_deferred_qc() returns SCSI_EH_DONE, with
this return value propagated back to the ata_scsi_eh_timed_out() operation
to indicate to scsi_timeout() that the timed out command was handled and
no further processing is needed.

For non-timed out deferred qc that need to be retried,
ata_scsi_requeue_deferred_qc() returns SCSI_EH_NOT_HANDLED, thus
indicating to scsi_timeout() that the timed out command needs to go
through the SCSI EH (and libata EH) processing by adding it to the EH work
queue with scsi_eh_scmd_add().

One side effect of these changes is that the function atapi_qc_complete()
needs to be modified to ensure that a deferred ATAPI command that needs
to be retried is completed with DID_REQUEUE instead of the default
SAM_STAT_GOOD status, and a command that timed out is completed with
DID_TIME_OUT instead of SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION.

<title>netfs: Fix folio_queue ENOMEM in writeback by adding a mempool</title>

Fix the handling of folio_queue allocation failure in writeback by adding a
mempool and passing in gfp_t flags to the rolling buffer functions that
allocate memory, using the mempool if gfp != GFP_KERNEL.

This is then extended upwards and the gfp to be used for a request is stored
in the netfs_io_request struct and is then used for both requests and
subrequests, eliminating the sleeping loops there.

The failure caused:

    folio != NULL
