Pull filesystem fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "VFS:

   - Fix copy_page_from_iter_atomic() if KMAP_LOCAL_FORCE_MAP=y is set

   - Add a get_tree_bdev_flags() helper that allows to modify e.g.,
     whether errors are logged into the filesystem context during
     superblock creation. This is used by erofs to fix a userspace
     regression where an error is currently logged when its used on a
     regular file which is an new allowed mode in erofs.

  netfs:

   - Fix the sysfs debug path in the documentation.

   - Fix iov_iter_get_pages*() for folio queues by skipping the page
     extracation if we're at the end of a folio.

  afs:

   - Fix moving subdirectories to different parent directory.

  autofs:

   - Fix handling of AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD ioctl in
     validate_dev_ioctl(). The actual ioctl number, not the ioctl
     command needs to be checked for autofs"

When rename moves an AFS subdirectory between parent directories, the
subdir also needs a bit of editing: the ".." entry needs updating to point
to the new parent (though I don't make use of the info) and the DV needs
incrementing by 1 to reflect the change of content.  The server also sends
a callback break notification on the subdirectory if we have one, but we
can take care of recovering the promise next time we access the subdir.

This can be triggered by something like:

    mount -t afs %example.com:xfstest.test20 /xfstest.test/
    mkdir /xfstest.test/{aaa,bbb,aaa/ccc}
    touch /xfstest.test/bbb/ccc/d
    mv /xfstest.test/{aaa/ccc,bbb/ccc}
    touch /xfstest.test/bbb/ccc/e

When the pathwalk for the second touch hits "ccc", kafs spots that the DV
is incorrect and downloads it again (so the fix is not critical).

Fix this, if the rename target is a directory and the old and new
parents are different, by:

 (1) Incrementing the DV number of the target locally.

 (2) Editing the ".." entry in the target to refer to its new parent's
     vnode ID and uniquifier.

afs_wake_up_async_call() can incur lock recursion.  The problem is that it
is called from AF_RXRPC whilst holding the -&gt;notify_lock, but it tries to
take a ref on the afs_call struct in order to pass it to a work queue - but
if the afs_call is already queued, we then have an extraneous ref that must
be put... calling afs_put_call() may call back down into AF_RXRPC through
rxrpc_kernel_shutdown_call(), however, which might try taking the
-&gt;notify_lock again.

This case isn't very common, however, so defer it to a workqueue.  The oops
looks something like:

  BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, krxrpcio/7001/1646

In afs_wait_for_operation(), we set transcribe the call responded flag to
the server record that we used after doing the fileserver iteration loop -
but it's possible to exit the loop having had a response from the server
that we've discarded (e.g. it returned an abort or we started receiving
data, but the call didn't complete).

This means that op-&gt;server might be NULL, but we don't check that before
attempting to set the server flag.

A return code of 0 from afs_wait_for_one_fs_probe is an indication
that the endpoint state attached to the operation is stale and has
been superseded.  In that case the iteration needs to be restarted
so that the newer probe result state gets used.

Failure to do so can result in an tight infinite loop around the
iterate_address label, where all addresses are thought to be responsive
and have been tried, with nothing to refresh the endpoint state.

afs_retry_request() is supposed to be pointed to by the afs_req_ops netfs
operations table, but the pointer got lost somewhere.  The function is used
during writeback to rotate through the authentication keys that were in
force when the file was modified locally.

Fix this by adding the pointer to the function.

Improve the efficiency of buffered reads in a number of ways:

 (1) Overhaul the algorithm in general so that it's a lot more compact and
     split the read submission code between buffered and unbuffered
     versions.  The unbuffered version can be vastly simplified.

 (2) Read-result collection is handed off to a work queue rather than being
     done in the I/O thread.  Multiple subrequests can be processes
     simultaneously.

 (3) When a subrequest is collected, any folios it fully spans are
     collected and "spare" data on either side is donated to either the
     previous or the next subrequest in the sequence.

Notes:

 (*) Readahead expansion is massively slows down fio, presumably because it
     causes a load of extra allocations, both folio and xarray, up front
     before RPC requests can be transmitted.

 (*) RDMA with cifs does appear to work, both with SIW and RXE.

 (*) PG_private_2-based reading and copy-to-cache is split out into its own
     file and altered to use folio_queue.  Note that the copy to the cache
     now creates a new write transaction against the cache and adds the
     folios to be copied into it.  This allows it to use part of the
     writeback I/O code.

<title>afs: Make read subreqs async</title>

Perform AFS read subrequests in a work item rather than in the calling
thread.  For normal buffered reads, this will allow the calling thread to
copy data from the pagecache to the application at the same time as the
demarshalling thread is shovelling data from skbuffs into the pagecache.

This will also allow the RA mark to trigger a new read before we've
finished shovelling the data from the current one.

Note: This would be a bit safer if the FS.FetchData RPC ops returned the
metadata (including the data version number) before returning the data.
This would allow me to flush the pagecache before installing the new data.

In future, it may be possible to asynchronously flush the pagecache either
side of the region being read.

Move max_len/max_nr_segs from struct netfs_io_subrequest to struct
netfs_io_stream as we only issue one subreq at a time and then don't need
these values again for that subreq unless and until we have to retry it -
in which case we want to renegotiate them.
