Pull mount handling updates from Al Viro:
 "Cleanups (and one fix) around struct mount handling.

  The fix is usermode_driver.c one - once you've done kern_mount(), you
  must kern_unmount(); simple mntput() will end up with a leak. Several
  failure exits in there messed up that way... In practice you won't hit
  those particular failure exits without fault injection, though"

* tag 'pull-18-rc1-work.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  move mount-related externs from fs.h to mount.h
  blob_to_mnt(): kern_unmount() is needed to undo kern_mount()
  m-&gt;mnt_root-&gt;d_inode-&gt;i_sb is a weird way to spell m-&gt;mnt_sb...
  linux/mount.h: trim includes
  uninline may_mount() and don't opencode it in fspick(2)/fsopen(2)

Currently we have 3 primitives for removing an opened file from descriptor
table - pick_file(), __close_fd_get_file() and close_fd_get_file().  Their
calling conventions are rather odd and there's a code duplication for no
good reason.  They can be unified -

1) have __range_close() cap max_fd in the very beginning; that way
we don't need separate way for pick_file() to report being past the end
of descriptor table.

2) make {__,}close_fd_get_file() return file (or NULL) directly, rather
than returning it via struct file ** argument.  Don't bother with
(bogus) return value - nobody wants that -ENOENT.

3) make pick_file() return NULL on unopened descriptor - the only caller
that used to care about the distinction between descriptor past the end
of descriptor table and finding NULL in descriptor table doesn't give
a damn after (1).

4) lift -&gt;files_lock out of pick_file()

That actually simplifies the callers, as well as the primitives themselves.
Code duplication is also gone...

This splits of the setup part of the function setxattr in its own
dedicated function called setxattr_copy. In addition it also exposes a new
function called do_setxattr for making the setxattr call.

This makes it possible to call these two functions from io_uring in the
processing of an xattr request.

 "This contains feature updates, performance improvements, preparatory
  and core work and some related VFS updates:

  Features:

   - encoded read/write ioctls, allows user space to read or write raw
     data directly to extents (now compressed, encrypted in the future),
     will be used by send/receive v2 where it saves processing time

   - zoned mode now works with metadata DUP (the mkfs.btrfs default)

   - error message header updates:
      - print error state: transaction abort, other error, log tree
        errors
      - print transient filesystem state: remount, device replace,
        ignored checksum verifications

   - tree-checker: verify the transaction id of the to-be-written dirty
     extent buffer

  Performance improvements for fsync:

   - directory logging speedups (up to -90% run time)

   - avoid logging all directory changes during renames (up to -60% run
     time)

   - avoid inode logging during rename and link when possible (up to
     -60% run time)

   - prepare extents to be logged before locking a log tree path
     (throughput +7%)

   - stop copying old file extents when doing a full fsync()

   - improved logging of old extents after truncate

  Core, fixes:

   - improved stale device identification by dev_t and not just path
     (for devices that are behind other layers like device mapper)

   - continued extent tree v2 preparatory work
      - disable features that won't work yet
      - add wrappers and abstractions for new tree roots

   - improved error handling

   - add super block write annotations around background block group
     reclaim

   - fix device scanning messages potentially accessing stale pointer

   - cleanups and refactoring

<title>io-uring: Make statx API stable</title>

<id>1b6fe6e0dfecf8c82a64fb87148ad9333fa2f62e</id>
<content type='text'>
One of the key architectual tenets is to keep the parameters for
io-uring stable. After the call has been submitted, its value can
be changed. Unfortunaltely this is not the case for the current statx
implementation.

IO-Uring change:
This changes replaces the const char * filename pointer in the io_statx
structure with a struct filename *. In addition it also creates the
filename object during the prepare phase.

With this change, the opcode also needs to invoke cleanup, so the
filename object gets freed after processing the request.

fs change:
This replaces the const char* __user filename parameter in the two
functions do_statx and vfs_statx with a struct filename *. In addition
to be able to correctly construct a filename object a new helper
function getname_statx_lookup_flags is introduced. The function makes
sure that do_statx and vfs_statx is invoked with the correct lookup flags.

One of the key architectual tenets is to keep the parameters for
io-uring stable. After the call has been submitted, its value can
be changed. Unfortunaltely this is not the case for the current statx
implementation.

IO-Uring change:
This changes replaces the const char * filename pointer in the io_statx
structure with a struct filename *. In addition it also creates the
filename object during the prepare phase.

With this change, the opcode also needs to invoke cleanup, so the
filename object gets freed after processing the request.

fs change:
This replaces the const char* __user filename parameter in the two
functions do_statx and vfs_statx with a struct filename *. In addition
to be able to correctly construct a filename object a new helper
function getname_statx_lookup_flags is introduced. The function makes
sure that do_statx and vfs_statx is invoked with the correct lookup flags.
