Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual fs

  Features:

   - Use mode 0600 for file created by cachefilesd so it can be run by
     unprivileged users. This aligns them with directories which are
     already created with mode 0700 by cachefilesd

   - Reorder a few members in struct file to prevent some false sharing
     scenarios

   - Indicate that an eventfd is used a semaphore in the eventfd's
     fdinfo procfs file

   - Add a missing uapi header for eventfd exposing relevant uapi
     defines

   - Let the VFS protect transitions of a superblock from read-only to
     read-write in addition to the protection it already provides for
     transitions from read-write to read-only. Protecting read-only to
     read-write transitions allows filesystems such as ext4 to perform
     internal writes, keeping writers away until the transition is
     completed

  Cleanups:

   - Arnd removed the architecture specific arch_report_meminfo()
     prototypes and added a generic one into procfs.h. Note, we got a
     report about a warning in amdpgpu codepaths that suggested this was
     bisectable to this change but we concluded it was a false positive

   - Remove unused parameters from split_fs_names()

   - Rename put_and_unmap_page() to unmap_and_put_page() to let the name
     reflect the order of the cleanup operation that has to unmap before
     the actual put

   - Unexport buffer_check_dirty_writeback() as it is not used outside
     of block device aops

   - Stop allocating aio rings from highmem

   - Protecting read-{only,write} transitions in the VFS used open-coded
     barriers in various places. Replace them with proper little helpers
     and document both the helpers and all barrier interactions involved
     when transitioning between read-{only,write} states

   - Use flexible array members in old readdir codepaths

  Fixes:

   - Use the correct type __poll_t for epoll and eventfd

   - Replace all deprecated strlcpy() invocations, whose return value
     isn't checked with an equivalent strscpy() call

   - Fix some kernel-doc warnings in fs/open.c

   - Reduce the stack usage in jffs2's xattr codepaths finally getting
     rid of this: fs/jffs2/xattr.c:887:1: error: the frame size of 1088
     bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
     royally annoying compilation warning

   - Use __FMODE_NONOTIFY instead of FMODE_NONOTIFY where an int and not
     fmode_t is required to avoid fmode_t to integer degradation
     warnings

   - Create coredumps with O_WRONLY instead of O_RDWR. There's a long
     explanation in that commit how O_RDWR is actually a bug which we
     found out with the help of Linus and git archeology

   - Fix "no previous prototype" warnings in the pipe codepaths

   - Add overflow calculations for remap_verify_area() as a signed
     addition overflow could be triggered in xfstests

   - Fix a null pointer dereference in sysv

   - Use an unsigned variable for length calculations in jfs avoiding
     compilation warnings with gcc 13

   - Fix a dangling pipe pointer in the watch queue codepath

   - The legacy mount option parser provided as a fallback by the VFS
     for filesystems not yet converted to the new mount api did prefix
     the generated mount option string with a leading ',' causing issues
     for some filesystems

   - Fix a repeated word in a comment in fs.h

   - autofs: Update the ctime when mtime is updated as mandated by
     POSIX"

Patch series "revert shrinker_srcu related changes".


This patch (of 7):

This reverts commit cf2e309ebca7bb0916771839f9b580b06c778530.

Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless").  The root cause is that SRCU has to be
careful to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits.
Therefore, even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical
section, synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly.  That's why
unregister_shrinker() has become slower.

After discussion, we will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed
by Dave Chinner to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink.  So
revert the shrinker_mutex back to shrinker_rwsem first.

Patch series "revert shrinker_srcu related changes".


This patch (of 7):

This reverts commit cf2e309ebca7bb0916771839f9b580b06c778530.

Kernel test robot reports -88.8% regression in stress-ng.ramfs.ops_per_sec
test case [1], which is caused by commit f95bdb700bc6 ("mm: vmscan: make
global slab shrink lockless").  The root cause is that SRCU has to be
careful to not frequently check for SRCU read-side critical section exits.
Therefore, even if no one is currently in the SRCU read-side critical
section, synchronize_srcu() cannot return quickly.  That's why
unregister_shrinker() has become slower.

After discussion, we will try to use the refcount+RCU method [2] proposed
by Dave Chinner to continue to re-implement the lockless slab shrink.  So
revert the shrinker_mutex back to shrinker_rwsem first.

<title>fs: Protect reconfiguration of sb read-write from racing writes</title>

The reconfigure / remount code takes a lot of effort to protect
filesystem's reconfiguration code from racing writes on remounting
read-only. However during remounting read-only filesystem to read-write
mode userspace writes can start immediately once we clear SB_RDONLY
flag. This is inconvenient for example for ext4 because we need to do
some writes to the filesystem (such as preparation of quota files)
before we can take userspace writes so we are clearing SB_RDONLY flag
before we are fully ready to accept userpace writes and syzbot has found
a way to exploit this [1]. Also as far as I'm reading the code
the filesystem remount code was protected from racing writes in the
legacy mount path by the mount's MNT_READONLY flag so this is relatively
new problem. It is actually fairly easy to protect remount read-write
from racing writes using sb-&gt;s_readonly_remount flag so let's just do
that instead of having to workaround these races in the filesystem code.

There is no real need to store the open mode in the super_block now.
It is only used by f2fs, which can easily recalculate it.

super block flags instead of open coding the logic in many places.

<title>block: use the holder as indication for exclusive opens</title>

The current interface for exclusive opens is rather confusing as it
requires both the FMODE_EXCL flag and a holder.  Remove the need to pass
FMODE_EXCL and just key off the exclusive open off a non-NULL holder.

For blkdev_put this requires adding the holder argument, which provides
better debug checking that only the holder actually releases the hold,
but at the same time allows removing the now superfluous mode argument.

<title>fs: add a method to shut down the file system</title>

Add a new -&gt;shutdown super operation that can be used to tell the file
system to shut down, and call it from newly created holder ops when the
block device under a file system shuts down.

This only covers the main block device for "simple" file systems using
get_tree_bdev / mount_bdev.  File systems their own get_tree method
or opening additional devices will need to set up their own
blk_holder_ops.
