Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use
to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs
is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed
separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well.
The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page
cache and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about
the existence of pages and folios
The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of
code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes
in larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support
can be turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing
another 2000+ lines. I've included detailed information in the
individual pulls I took.
Summary:
- Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O
calls to prevent these from happening at the same time.
- Support for direct and unbuffered I/O.
- Support for write-through caching in the page cache.
- O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing
to the page cache and then flushing afterwards.
- Support for write-streaming.
- Support for write grouping.
- Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF.
- The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the
corresponding maintainer entry is updated.
- Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as
belonging to the netfs library.
- Follow-up fixes for the netfs library.
- Follow-up fixes for the 9p conversion"

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"

In __cachefiles_prepare_write(), the start and pos variables were made
unsigned 64-bit so that the casts in the checking could be got rid of -
which should be fine since absolute file offsets can't be negative, except
that an error code may be obtained from vfs_llseek(), which *would* be
negative. This breaks the error check.
Fix this for now by reverting pos and start to be signed and putting back
the casts. Unfortunately, the error value checks cannot be replaced with
IS_ERR_VALUE() as long might be 32-bits.

Pull vfs cachefiles updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains improvements for on-demand cachefiles.
If the daemon crashes and the on-demand cachefiles fd is unexpectedly
closed in-flight requests and subsequent read operations associated
with the fd will fail with EIO. This causes issues in various
scenarios as this failure is currently unrecoverable.
The work contained in this pull request introduces a failover mode and
enables the daemon to recover in-flight requested-related objects. A
restarted daemon will be able to process requests as usual.
This requires that in-flight requests are stored during daemon crash
or while the daemon is offline. In addition, a handle to
/dev/cachefiles needs to be stored.
This can be done by e.g., systemd's fdstore (cf. [1]) which enables
the restarted daemon to recover state.
Three new states are introduced in this patchset:
(1) CLOSE
Object is closed by the daemon.
(2) OPEN
Object is open and ready for processing. IOW, the open request
has been handled successfully.
(3) REOPENING
Object has been previously closed and is now reopened due to a
read request.
A restarted daemon can recover the /dev/cachefiles fd from systemd's
fdstore and writes "restore" to the device. This causes the object
state to be reset from CLOSE to REOPENING and reinitializes the
object.
The daemon may now handle the open request. Any in-flight operations
are restored and handled avoiding interruptions for users"

cachefiles: add restore command to recover inflight ondemand read requests
cachefiles: narrow the scope of triggering EPOLLIN events in ondemand mode
cachefiles: resend an open request if the read request's object is closed
cachefiles: extract ondemand info field from cachefiles_object
cachefiles: introduce object ondemand state
An issue can occur between write-streaming (storing dirty data in partial
non-uptodate pages) and a cachefiles object being culled to make space.
The problem occurs because the cache object is only marked in use while
there are files open using it. Once it has been released, it can be culled
and the cookie marked disabled.
At this point, a streaming write is permitted to occur (if the cache is
active, we require pages to be prefetched and cached), but the cache can
become active again before this gets flushed out - and then two effects can
occur:
(1) The cache may be asked to write out a region that's less than its DIO
block size (assumed by cachefiles to be PAGE_SIZE) - and this causes
one of two debugging statements to be emitted.
(2) netfs_how_to_modify() gets confused because it sees a page that isn't
allowed to be non-uptodate being uptodate and tries to prefetch it -
leading to a warning that PG_fscache is set twice.
Fix this by the following means:
(1) Add a netfs_inode flag to disallow write-streaming to an inode and set
it if we ever do local caching of that inode. It remains set for the
lifetime of that inode - even if the cookie becomes disabled.
(2) If the no-write-streaming flag is set, then make netfs_how_to_modify()
always want to prefetch instead.
(3) If netfs_how_to_modify() decides it wants to prefetch a folio, but
that folio has write-streamed data in it, then it requires the folio
be flushed first.
(4) Export a counter of the number of times we wanted to prefetch a
non-uptodate page, but found it had write-streamed data in it.
(5) Export a counter of the number of times we cancelled a write to the
cache because it didn't DIO align and remove the debug statements.
