Use of dget() after we'd dropped -&gt;d_lock is too late - dentry might
be gone by that point.

<title>ceph: fix type promotion bug on 32bit systems</title>

In this code "ret" is type long and "src_objlen" is unsigned int.  The
problem is that on 32bit systems, when we do the comparison signed longs
are type promoted to unsigned int.  So negative error codes from
do_splice_direct() are treated as success instead of failure.

Before returning, function ceph_fname_to_usr() does a final IS_ERR() check
in 'dir':

	if ((dir != fname-&gt;dir) &amp;&amp; !IS_ERR(dir)) {...}

This check is unnecessary because, if the 'dir' variable has changed to
something other than 'fname-&gt;dir' (it's initial value), that error check has
been performed already and, if there was indeed an error, it would have
been returned immediately.

Besides, this useless IS_ERR() is also confusing static analysis tools.

<title>ceph: fix incorrect revoked caps assert in ceph_fill_file_size()</title>

When truncating the inode the MDS will acquire the xlock for the
ifile Locker, which will revoke the 'Frwsxl' caps from the clients.
But when the client just releases and flushes the 'Fw' caps to MDS,
for exmaple, and once the MDS receives the caps flushing msg it
just thought the revocation has finished. Then the MDS will continue
truncating the inode and then issued the truncate notification to
all the clients. While just before the clients receives the cap
flushing ack they receive the truncation notification, the clients
will detecte that the 'issued | dirty' is still holding the 'Fw'
caps.

Function ceph_get_inode() never returns NULL; instead it returns an
ERR_PTR() if something fails.  Thus, the check for NULL in parse_longname()
is useless and can be dropped.  Instead, move there the debug code that
does the error checking so that it's only executed if ceph_get_inode() is
called.

The num_fwd in MClientRequestForward is int32_t, while the num_fwd
in ceph_mds_request_head is __u8. This is buggy when the num_fwd
is larger than 256 it will always be truncate to 0 again. But the
client couldn't recoginize this.

This will make them to __u32 instead. Because the old cephs will
directly copy the raw memories when decoding the reqeust's head,
so we need to make sure this kclient will be compatible with old
cephs. For newer cephs they will decode the requests depending
the version, which will be much simpler and easier to extend new
members.

   of mas_store()").

 - Sergey Senozhatsky has improved te performance of zsmalloc during
   compaction (zsmalloc: small compaction improvements").

   ("selftests: cgroup: add zswap test program").

 - xu xin has doe some work on KSM's handling of zero pages. These
   changes are mainly to enable the user to better understand the
   effectiveness of KSM's treatment of zero pages ("ksm: support
   tracking KSM-placed zero-pages").

 - Jeff Xu has fixes the behaviour of memfd's
   MEMFD_NOEXEC_SCOPE_NOEXEC_ENFORCED sysctl ("mm/memfd: fix sysctl

   Stop read optimisation when folio removed from pagecache").

 - Axel Rasmussen has given userfaultfd the ability to simulate memory
   poisoning ("add UFFDIO_POISON to simulate memory poisoning with
   UFFD").

 - Miaohe Lin has contributed some routine maintenance work on the
   memory-failure code ("mm: memory-failure: remove unneeded PageHuge()
   check").

 - Peng Zhang has contributed some maintenance work on the maple tree
   code ("Improve the validation for maple tree and some cleanup").

 - Hugh Dickins has optimized the collapsing of shmem or file pages into
   THPs ("mm: free retracted page table by RCU").

 - Jiaqi Yan has a patch series which permits us to use the healthy
   subpages within a hardware poisoned huge page for general purposes
   ("Improve hugetlbfs read on HWPOISON hugepages").

 - Kemeng Shi has done some maintenance work on the pagetable-check code
   ("Remove unused parameters in page_table_check").

 - More folioification work from Matthew Wilcox ("More filesystem folio
   conversions for 6.6"), ("Followup folio conversions for zswap"). And
   from ZhangPeng ("Convert several functions in page_io.c to use a
   folio").

 - page_ext cleanups from Kemeng Shi ("minor cleanups for page_ext").

 - Baoquan He has converted some architectures to use the
   GENERIC_IOREMAP ioremap()/iounmap() code ("mm: ioremap: Convert
   architectures to take GENERIC_IOREMAP way").

 - Anshuman Khandual has optimized arm64 tlb shootdown ("arm64: support
   batched/deferred tlb shootdown during page reclamation/migration").

 - Better maple tree lockdep checking from Liam Howlett ("More strict
   maple tree lockdep"). Liam also developed some efficiency
   improvements ("Reduce preallocations for maple tree").

 - Cleanup and optimization to the secondary IOMMU TLB invalidation,
   from Alistair Popple ("Invalidate secondary IOMMU TLB on permission
   upgrade").

 - Ryan Roberts fixes some arm64 MM selftest issues ("selftests/mm fixes
   for arm64").

 - Kemeng Shi provides some maintenance work on the compaction code
   ("Two minor cleanups for compaction").

 - Some reduction in mmap_lock pressure from Matthew Wilcox ("Handle
   most file-backed faults under the VMA lock").

 - Aneesh Kumar contributes code to use the vmemmap optimization for DAX
   on ppc64, under some circumstances ("Add support for DAX vmemmap
   optimization for ppc64").

 - page-ext cleanups from Kemeng Shi ("add page_ext_data to get client
   data in page_ext"), ("minor cleanups to page_ext header").

 - Some zswap cleanups from Johannes Weiner ("mm: zswap: three
   cleanups").

 - kmsan cleanups from ZhangPeng ("minor cleanups for kmsan").

 - VMA handling cleanups from Kefeng Wang ("mm: convert to
   vma_is_initial_heap/stack()").

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
  xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
  filesystems.

  The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
  and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
  to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
  jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.

  Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
  NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
  can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
  client decide to invalidate the cache.

  Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
  a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
  granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
  (e.g., backup applications).

  If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
  the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
  filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.

  This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
  actively queried.

  This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
  something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
  is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
  fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.

  As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
  must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
  only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.

  Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
  the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
  coarse-grained timestamps.

  Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:

   - Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
     together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
     maintainers provided necessary Acks.

   - Add new accessors for inode-&gt;i_ctime directly and change all
     callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode-&gt;i_ctime are now
     gone and it is accordingly rename to inode-&gt;__i_ctime and commented
     as requiring accessors.

   - Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
     sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
     mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.

   - Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
     parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.

   - Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
     removing a bunch of open-coding"
