I mistakenly turned off CONFIG_XFS_RT in the Kconfig file for arm64
variant of the djwong-wtf git branch.  Unfortunately, it took me a good
hour to figure out that RT wasn't built because this is what got printed
to dmesg:

XFS (sda2): realtime geometry sanity check failed
XFS (sda2): Metadata corruption detected at xfs_sb_read_verify+0x170/0x190 [xfs], xfs_sb block 0x0

Whereas I would have expected:

XFS (sda2): Not built with CONFIG_XFS_RT
XFS (sda2): RT mount failed

The root cause of these problems is the conditional compilation of the
new functions xfs_validate_rtextents and xfs_compute_rextslog that I
introduced in the two commits listed below.  The !RT versions of these
functions return false and 0, respectively, which causes primary
superblock validation to fail, which explains the first message.

Move the two functions to other parts of libxfs that are not
conditionally defined by CONFIG_XFS_RT and remove the broken stubs so
that validation works again.

Fixes: e14293803f4e ("xfs: don't allow overly small or large realtime volumes")
Fixes: a6a38f309afc ("xfs: make rextslog computation consistent with mkfs")

<title>xfs: reset XFS_ATTR_INCOMPLETE filter on node removal</title>

In XFS_DAS_NODE_REMOVE_ATTR case, xfs_attr_mode_remove_attr() sets
filter to XFS_ATTR_INCOMPLETE. The filter is then reset in
xfs_attr_complete_op() if XFS_DA_OP_REPLACE operation is performed.

The filter is not reset though if XFS just removes the attribute
(args-&gt;value == NULL) with xfs_attr_defer_remove(). attr code goes
to XFS_DAS_DONE state.

Fix this by always resetting XFS_ATTR_INCOMPLETE filter. The replace
operation already resets this filter in anyway and others are
completed at this step hence don't need it.

<title>xfs: read only mounts with fsopen mount API are busted</title>

Recently xfs/513 started failing on my test machines testing "-o
ro,norecovery" mount options. This was being emitted in dmesg:

[ 9906.932724] XFS (pmem0): no-recovery mounts must be read-only.

Turns out, readonly mounts with the fsopen()/fsconfig() mount API
have been busted since day zero. It's only taken 5 years for debian
unstable to start using this "new" mount API, and shortly after this
I noticed xfs/513 had started to fail as per above.

The syscall trace is:

fsopen("xfs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC)           = 3
mount_setattr(-1, NULL, 0, NULL, 0)     = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
.....
fsconfig(3, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "source", "/dev/pmem0", 0) = 0
fsconfig(3, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "ro", NULL, 0) = 0
fsconfig(3, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "norecovery", NULL, 0) = 0
fsconfig(3, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
close(3)                                = 0

Showing that the actual mount instantiation (FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE) is
what threw out the error.

During mount instantiation, we call xfs_fs_validate_params() which
does:

        /* No recovery flag requires a read-only mount */
        if (xfs_has_norecovery(mp) &amp;&amp; !xfs_is_readonly(mp)) {
                xfs_warn(mp, "no-recovery mounts must be read-only.");
                return -EINVAL;
        }

and xfs_is_readonly() checks internal mount flags for read only
state. This state is set in xfs_init_fs_context() from the
context superblock flag state:

        /*
         * Copy binary VFS mount flags we are interested in.
         */
        if (fc-&gt;sb_flags &amp; SB_RDONLY)
                set_bit(XFS_OPSTATE_READONLY, &amp;mp-&gt;m_opstate);

With the old mount API, all of the VFS specific superblock flags
had already been parsed and set before xfs_init_fs_context() is
called, so this all works fine.

However, in the brave new fsopen/fsconfig world,
xfs_init_fs_context() is called from fsopen() context, before any
VFS superblock have been set or parsed. Hence if we use fsopen(),
the internal XFS readonly state is *never set*. Hence anything that
depends on xfs_is_readonly() actually returning true for read only
mounts is broken if fsopen() has been used to mount the filesystem.

Fix this by moving this internal state initialisation to
xfs_fs_fill_super() before we attempt to validate the parameters
that have been set prior to the FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE call being made.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a
  size penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the
  sentinel, the final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados
  has been doing all this work.

  In the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
  support this. For v6.7 we had all arch/ and drivers/ modified to
  remove the sentinel. For v6.8-rc1 we get a few more updates for fs/
  directory only.

  The kernel/ directory is left but we'll save that for v6.9-rc1 as
  those patches are still being reviewed. After that we then can expect
  also the removal of the no longer needed check for procname == NULL.

  Let us recap the purpose of this work:

   - this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run
     time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array

   - the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move
     sysctls out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files

  Thomas Weißschuh also sent a few cleanups, for v6.9-rc1 we expect to
  see further work by Thomas Weißschuh with the constificatin of the
  struct ctl_table.

  Due to Joel Granados's work, and to help bring in new blood, I have
  suggested for him to become a maintainer and he's accepted. So for
  v6.9-rc1 I look forward to seeing him sent you a pull request for
  further sysctl changes. This also removes Iurii Zaikin as a maintainer
  as he has moved on to other projects and has had no time to help at
  all"

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
  included in this merge do the following:

   - Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series

	'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers'
	'Some cleanups of maple tree'

   - In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem'
     Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
     and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
     have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes)
     in the patch series

	'Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()'
	'Make folio_start_writeback return void'
	'Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages'
	'Convert aops-&gt;error_remove_page to -&gt;error_remove_folio'
	'Finish two folio conversions'
	'More swap folio conversions'

   - Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series

	'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault'

   - Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series
     'tweak kmemleak report format'.

   - In the series 'stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces' Andrey
     Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause eviction
     of no longer needed stack traces.

   - Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page
     allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series 'mm:
     page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations'.

   - Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample code
     for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the series
     'samples: introduce cgroup events listeners'.

   - Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series
     'maple_tree: iterator state changes'.

   - Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series
     'workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback'.

   - DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in the
     series

	'mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS'
	'selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests'
	'mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8'

   - Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series 'mm:
     memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds'.

   - In the series 'Multi-size THP for anonymous memory' Ryan Roberts
     has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which
     improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during
     anonymous page faults.

   - Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance
     work against eh buffer_head code int he series 'More buffer_head
     cleanups'.

   - Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series
     'userfaultfd move option'. UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap
     compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than
     UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free.

   - Stefan Roesch has developed a 'KSM Advisor', in the series 'mm/ksm:
     Add ksm advisor'. This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning
     aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs.

   - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory use
     in the series 'mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups'.

     code, both code and within filesystems. The series is 'Clean up the
     writeback paths'.

   - Andrey Konovalov has optimized KASAN's handling of alloc and free
     stack traces for secondary-level allocators, in the series 'kasan:
     save mempool stack traces'.

   - Andrey also performed some KASAN maintenance work in the series
     'kasan: assorted clean-ups'.

   - David Hildenbrand has gone to town on the rmap code. Cleanups, more
     pte batching, folio conversions and more. See the series 'mm/rmap:

Pull vfs super updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the super work for this cycle including the long-awaited
  series by Jan to make it possible to prevent writing to mounted block
  devices:

   - Writing to mounted devices is dangerous and can lead to filesystem
     corruption as well as crashes. Furthermore syzbot comes with more
     and more involved examples how to corrupt block device under a
     mounted filesystem leading to kernel crashes and reports we can do
     nothing about. Add tracking of writers to each block device and a
     kernel cmdline argument which controls whether other writeable
     opens to block devices open with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES flag are
     allowed.

     Note that this effectively only prevents modification of the
     particular block device's page cache by other writers. The actual
     device content can still be modified by other means - e.g. by
     issuing direct scsi commands, by doing writes through devices lower
     in the storage stack (e.g. in case loop devices, DM, or MD are
     involved) etc. But blocking direct modifications of the block
     device page cache is enough to give filesystems a chance to perform
     data validation when loading data from the underlying storage and
     thus prevent kernel crashes.

     Syzbot can use this cmdline argument option to avoid uninteresting
     crashes. Also users whose userspace setup does not need writing to
     mounted block devices can set this option for hardening. We expect
     that this will be interesting to quite a few workloads.

     Btrfs is currently opted out of this because they still haven't
     merged patches we require for this to work from three kernel
     releases ago.

   - Reimplement block device freezing and thawing as holder operations
     on the block device.

     This allows us to extend block device freezing to all devices
     associated with a superblock and not just the main device. It also
     allows us to remove get_active_super() and thus another function
     that scans the global list of superblocks.

     Freezing via additional block devices only works if the filesystem
     chooses to use @fs_holder_ops for these additional devices as well.
     That currently only includes ext4 and xfs.

     Earlier releases switched get_tree_bdev() and mount_bdev() to use
     @fs_holder_ops. The remaining nilfs2 open-coded version of
     mount_bdev() has been converted to rely on @fs_holder_ops as well.
     So block device freezing for the main block device will continue to
     work as before.

     There should be no regressions in functionality. The only special
     case is btrfs where block device freezing for the main block device
     never worked because sb-&gt;s_bdev isn't set. Block device freezing
     for btrfs can be fixed once they can switch to @fs_holder_ops but
     that can happen whenever they're ready"

     work as before.

     There should be no regressions in functionality. The only special
     case is btrfs where block device freezing for the main block device
     never worked because sb-&gt;s_bdev isn't set. Block device freezing
     for btrfs can be fixed once they can switch to @fs_holder_ops but
     that can happen whenever they're ready"
