Pull vfs mount infrastructure updates from Al Viro:
 "The rest of core infrastructure; no new syscalls in that pile, but the
  old parts are switched to new infrastructure. At that point
  conversions of individual filesystems can happen independently; some
  are done here (afs, cgroup, procfs, etc.), there's also a large series
  outside of that pile dealing with NFS (quite a bit of option-parsing
  stuff is getting used there - it's one of the most convoluted
  filesystems in terms of mount-related logics), but NFS bits are the
  next cycle fodder.

  It got seriously simplified since the last cycle; documentation is
  probably the weakest bit at the moment - I considered dropping the
  commit introducing Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt (cutting
  the size increase by quarter ;-), but decided that it would be better
  to fix it up after -rc1 instead.

  That pile allows to do followup work in independent branches, which
  should make life much easier for the next cycle. fs/super.c size
  increase is unpleasant; there's a followup series that allows to
  shrink it considerably, but I decided to leave that until the next
  cycle"

Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers:
 "First: Ted, Jaegeuk, and I have decided to add me as a co-maintainer
  for fscrypt, and we're now using a shared git tree. So we've updated
  MAINTAINERS accordingly, and I'm doing the pull request this time.

  The actual changes for v5.1 are:

   - Remove the fs-specific kconfig options like CONFIG_EXT4_ENCRYPTION
     and make fscrypt support for all fscrypt-capable filesystems be
     controlled by CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION, similar to how CONFIG_QUOTA
     works.

   - Improve error code for rename() and link() into encrypted
     directories.

   - Various cleanups"

Pull io_uring IO interface from Jens Axboe:
 "Second attempt at adding the io_uring interface.

  Since the first one, we've added basic unit testing of the three
  system calls, that resides in liburing like the other unit tests that
  we have so far. It'll take a while to get full coverage of it, but
  we're working towards it. I've also added two basic test programs to
  tools/io_uring. One uses the raw interface and has support for all the
  various features that io_uring supports outside of standard IO, like
  fixed files, fixed IO buffers, and polled IO. The other uses the
  liburing API, and is a simplified version of cp(1).

  This adds support for a new IO interface, io_uring.

  io_uring allows an application to communicate with the kernel through
  two rings, the submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) ring.
  This allows for very efficient handling of IOs, see the v5 posting for
  some basic numbers:

    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20190116175003.17880-1-axboe@kernel.dk/

  Outside of just efficiency, the interface is also flexible and
  extendable, and allows for future use cases like the upcoming NVMe
  key-value store API, networked IO, and so on. It also supports async
  buffered IO, something that we've always failed to support in the
  kernel.

  Outside of basic IO features, it supports async polled IO as well.
  This particular feature has already been tested at Facebook months ago
  for flash storage boxes, with 25-33% improvements. It makes polled IO
  actually useful for real world use cases, where even basic flash sees
  a nice win in terms of efficiency, latency, and performance. These
  boxes were IOPS bound before, now they are not.

  This series adds three new system calls. One for setting up an
  io_uring instance (io_uring_setup(2)), one for submitting/completing
  IO (io_uring_enter(2)), and one for aux functions like registrating
  file sets, buffers, etc (io_uring_register(2)). Through the help of
  Arnd, I've coordinated the syscall numbers so merge on that front
  should be painless.

  Jon did a writeup of the interface a while back, which (except for
  minor details that have been tweaked) is still accurate. Find that
  here:

    https://lwn.net/Articles/776703/

  Huge thanks to Al Viro for helping getting the reference cycle code
  correct, and to Jann Horn for his extensive reviews focused on both
  security and bugs in general.

  There's a userspace library that provides basic functionality for
  applications that don't need or want to care about how to fiddle with
  the rings directly. It has helpers to allow applications to easily set
  up an io_uring instance, and submit/complete IO through it without
  knowing about the intricacies of the rings. It also includes man pages
  (thanks to Jeff Moyer), and will continue to grow support helper
  functions and features as time progresses. Find it here:

    git://git.kernel.dk/liburing

  Fio has full support for the raw interface, both in the form of an IO
  engine (io_uring), but also with a small test application (t/io_uring)
  that can exercise and benchmark the interface"

Instead of doing this compile-time check in some slightly arbitrary user
of struct filename, put it next to the definition.

<title>aio: simplify - and fix - fget/fput for io_submit()</title>

Al Viro root-caused a race where the IOCB_CMD_POLL handling of
fget/fput() could cause us to access the file pointer after it had
already been freed:

 "In more details - normally IOCB_CMD_POLL handling looks so:

   1) io_submit(2) allocates aio_kiocb instance and passes it to
      aio_poll()

   2) aio_poll() resolves the descriptor to struct file by req-&gt;file =
      fget(iocb-&gt;aio_fildes)

   3) aio_poll() sets -&gt;woken to false and raises -&gt;ki_refcnt of that
      aio_kiocb to 2 (bumps by 1, that is).

   4) aio_poll() calls vfs_poll(). After sanity checks (basically,
      "poll_wait() had been called and only once") it locks the queue.
      That's what the extra reference to iocb had been for - we know we
      can safely access it.

   5) With queue locked, we check if -&gt;woken has already been set to
      true (by aio_poll_wake()) and, if it had been, we unlock the
      queue, drop a reference to aio_kiocb and bugger off - at that
      point it's a responsibility to aio_poll_wake() and the stuff
      called/scheduled by it. That code will drop the reference to file
      in req-&gt;file, along with the other reference to our aio_kiocb.

   6) otherwise, we see whether we need to wait. If we do, we unlock the
      queue, drop one reference to aio_kiocb and go away - eventual
      wakeup (or cancel) will deal with the reference to file and with
      the other reference to aio_kiocb

   7) otherwise we remove ourselves from waitqueue (still under the
      queue lock), so that wakeup won't get us. No async activity will
      be happening, so we can safely drop req-&gt;file and iocb ourselves.

  If wakeup happens while we are in vfs_poll(), we are fine - aio_kiocb
  won't get freed under us, so we can do all the checks and locking
  safely. And we don't touch -&gt;file if we detect that case.

  However, vfs_poll() most certainly *does* touch the file it had been
  given. So wakeup coming while we are still in -&gt;poll() might end up
  doing fput() on that file. That case is not too rare, and usually we
  are saved by the still present reference from descriptor table - that
  fput() is not the final one.

  But if another thread closes that descriptor right after our fget()
  and wakeup does happen before -&gt;poll() returns, we are in trouble -
  final fput() done while we are in the middle of a method:

Al also wrote a patch to take an extra reference to the file descriptor
to fix this, but I instead suggested we just streamline the whole file
pointer handling by submit_io() so that the generic aio submission code
simply keeps the file pointer around until the aio has completed.

Some uses cases repeatedly get and put references to the same file, but
the only exposed interface is doing these one at the time. As each of
these entail an atomic inc or dec on a shared structure, that cost can
add up.

Add fget_many(), which works just like fget(), except it takes an
argument for how many references to get on the file. Ditto fput_many(),
which can drop an arbitrary number of references to a file.
