Pull vfs fanotify fsid updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This work is part of the plan to enable fanotify to serve as a drop-in
  replacement for inotify. While inotify is availabe on all filesystems,
  fanotify currently isn't.

  In order to support fanotify on all filesystems two things are needed:

   (1) all filesystems need to support AT_HANDLE_FID

   (2) all filesystems need to report a non-zero f_fsid

  This contains (1) and allows filesystems to encode non-decodable file
  handlers for fanotify without implementing any exportfs operations by
  encoding a file id of type FILEID_INO64_GEN from i_ino and
  i_generation.

  Filesystems that want to opt out of encoding non-decodable file ids
  for fanotify that don't support NFS export can do so by providing an
  empty export_operations struct.

  This also partially addresses (2) by generating f_fsid for simple
  filesystems as well as freevxfs. Remaining filesystems will be dealt
  with by separate patches.

  Finally, this contains the patch from the current exportfs maintainers
  which moves exportfs under vfs with Chuck, Jeff, and Amir as
  maintainers and vfs.git as tree"

Pull vfs inode time accessor updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This finishes the conversion of all inode time fields to accessor
  functions as discussed on list. Changing timestamps manually as we
  used to do before is error prone. Using accessors function makes this

  It does not contain the switch of the time fields to discrete 64 bit

  But after this, the switch can be trivially made and the patch should
  only affect the vfs if we decide to do it"

<title>exportfs: define FILEID_INO64_GEN* file handle types</title>

<content type='text'>
Similar to the common FILEID_INO32* file handle types, define common
FILEID_INO64* file handle types.

The type values of FILEID_INO64_GEN and FILEID_INO64_GEN_PARENT are the
values returned by fuse and xfs for 64bit ino encoded file handle types.

Note that these type value are filesystem specific and they do not define
a universal file handle format, for example:
fuse encodes FILEID_INO64_GEN as [ino-hi32,ino-lo32,gen] and xfs encodes
FILEID_INO64_GEN as [hostr-order-ino64,gen] (a.k.a xfs_fid64).

The FILEID_INO64_GEN fhandle type is going to be used for file ids for
fanotify from filesystems that do not support NFS export.

The code path

fuse_update_attributes
    fuse_update_get_attr
        fuse_do_statx

has the risk to use a NULL pointer for struct kstat *stat, although current
callers of fuse_update_attributes() only set request_mask to values that
will trigger the call of fuse_do_getattr(), which already handles the NULL
pointer.  Future updates might miss that fuse_do_statx() does not handle it
it is safer to add a condition already right now.

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"

Remove the unnecessary encoding of page order into an enum and pass the
page order directly.  That lets us get rid of pe_order().

The switch constructs have to be changed to if/else constructs to prevent
GCC from warning on builds with 3-level page tables where PMD_ORDER and
PUD_ORDER have the same value.

If you are looking at this commit because your driver stopped compiling,
look at the previous commit as well and audit your driver to be sure it
doesn't depend on mmap_lock being held in its -&gt;huge_fault method.
