Pull x86 resource control updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Extend the resctrl machinery to support telemetry monitoring on
Intel (Tony Luck)
The practical usage of this is being able to tell how much energy or
how much work can be attributed to a group of tasks tracked under a
single idenitifier. Prepend this work with proper refactoring of
resctrl domains handling code.

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
- Add support for verifying ML-DSA signatures.
ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm) is a
recently-standardized post-quantum (quantum-resistant) signature
algorithm. It was known as Dilithium pre-standardization.
The first use case in the kernel will be module signing. But there
are also other users of RSA and ECDSA signatures in the kernel that
might want to upgrade to ML-DSA eventually.
- Improve the AES library:
- Make the AES key expansion and single block encryption and
decryption functions use the architecture-optimized AES code.
Enable these optimizations by default.
- Support preparing an AES key for encryption-only, using about
half as much memory as a bidirectional key.
- Replace the existing two generic implementations of AES with a
single one.
- Simplify how Adiantum message hashing is implemented. Remove the
"nhpoly1305" crypto_shash in favor of direct lib/crypto/ support for
NH hashing, and enable optimizations by default.

Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
"In this cycle, inode page cache sharing among filesystems on the same
machine is now supported, which is particularly useful for
high-density hosts running tens of thousands of containers.
In addition, we fully isolate the EROFS core on-disk format from other
optional encoded layouts since the core on-disk part is designed to be
simple, effective, and secure. Users can use the core format to build
unique golden immutable images and import their filesystem trees
directly from raw block devices via DMA, page-mapped DAX devices,
and/or file-backed mounts without having to worry about unnecessary
intrinsic consistency issues found in other generic filesystems by
design. However, the full vision is still working in progress and will
spend more time to achieve final goals.
There are other improvements and bug fixes as usual, as listed below:
- Support inode page cache sharing among filesystems
- Formally separate optional encoded (aka compressed) inode layouts
(and the implementations) from the EROFS core on-disk aligned plain
format for future zero-trust security usage
- Improve performance by caching the fact that an inode does not have
a POSIX ACL
- Improve LZ4 decompression error reporting
- Enable LZMA by default and promote DEFLATE and Zstandard algorithms
out of EXPERIMENTAL status
- Switch to inode_set_cached_link() to cache symlink lengths

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a mix of VFS cleanups, performance improvements, API
fixes, documentation, and a deprecation notice.
Scalability and performance:
- Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of
twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown
throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck. Pad the
namespace refcount to reduce false-sharing
- Track file lock presence via a flag in ->i_opflags instead of
reading ->i_flctx, avoiding false-sharing with ->i_readcount on
open/close hot paths. Measured 4-16% improvement on 24-core
open-in-a-loop benchmarks
- Use a consume fence in locks_inode_context() to match the
store-release/load-consume idiom, eliminating a hardware fence on
some architectures
- Annotate cdev_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp to prevent
false-sharing
- Remove a redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in
__follow_mount_rcu() that never fires since the caller already
verifies it, eliminating a 100% mispredicted branch
- Fix a 100% mispredicted likely() in devcgroup_inode_permission()
that became wrong after a prior code reorder
Bug fixes and correctness:
- Make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction instead of
skipping, fixing a corner case where two matching inodes could
exist in the hash
- Move f_mode initialization before file_ref_init() in alloc_file()
to respect the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU ordering contract
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard in try_to_free_buffers() for folios with
no buffers attached, preventing a null pointer dereference when
AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set but no release_folio op exists
- Fix select restart_block to store end_time as timespec64, avoiding
truncation of tv_sec on 32-bit architectures
- Make dump_inode() use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode
and superblock fields, matching the dump_mapping() pattern
API modernization:
- Make posix_acl_to_xattr() allocate the buffer internally since
every single caller was doing it anyway. Reduces boilerplate and
unnecessary error checking across ~15 filesystems
- Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() for the
ihash_entries, dhash_entries, mhash_entries, and mphash_entries
boot parameters, adding proper error handling
- Convert chardev code to use guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) cleanup
patterns
- Replace min_t() with min() or umin() in VFS code to avoid silently
truncating unsigned long to unsigned int
- Gate LOOKUP_RCU assertions behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS since callers
already check the flag
Deprecation:
- Begin deprecating legacy BSD process accounting (acct(2)). The
interface has numerous footguns and better alternatives exist
(eBPF)
Documentation:
- Fix and complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations, removing
duplicated documentation between ReST and source
- Fix kernel-doc warnings for __start_dirop() and ilookup5_nowait()
Testing:
- Add a kunit test for initramfs cpio handling of entries with
filesize > PATH_MAX
Misc:
- Add missing <linux/init_task.h> include in fs_struct.c"

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- statmount: accept fd as a parameter
Extend struct mnt_id_req with a file descriptor field and a new
STATMOUNT_BY_FD flag. When set, statmount() returns mount information
for the mount the fd resides on — including detached mounts
(unmounted via umount2(MNT_DETACH)).
For detached mounts the STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT and STATMOUNT_MNT_NS_ID
mask bits are cleared since neither is meaningful. The capability
check is skipped for STATMOUNT_BY_FD since holding an fd already
implies prior access to the mount and equivalent information is
available through fstatfs() and /proc/pid/mountinfo without
privilege. Includes comprehensive selftests covering both attached
and detached mount cases.
- fs: Remove internal old mount API code (1 patch)
Now that every in-tree filesystem has been converted to the new
mount API, remove all the legacy shim code in fs_context.c that
handled unconverted filesystems. This deletes ~280 lines including
legacy_init_fs_context(), the legacy_fs_context struct, and
associated wrappers. The mount(2) syscall path for userspace remains
untouched. Documentation references to the legacy callbacks are
cleaned up.
- mount: add OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to open_tree()
Container runtimes currently use CLONE_NEWNS to copy the caller's
entire mount namespace — only to then pivot_root() and recursively
unmount everything they just copied. With large mount tables and
thousands of parallel container launches this creates significant
contention on the namespace semaphore.
OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE copies only the specified mount tree (like
OPEN_TREE_CLONE) but returns a mount namespace fd instead of a
detached mount fd. The new namespace contains the copied tree mounted
on top of a clone of the real rootfs.
This functions as a combined unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) + pivot_root() in a
single syscall. Works with user namespaces: an unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER)
followed by OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE creates a mount namespace owned by
the new user namespace. Mount namespace file mounts are excluded from
the copy to prevent cycles. Includes ~1000 lines of selftests"

Pull vfs nullfs update from Christian Brauner:
"Add a completely catatonic minimal pseudo filesystem called "nullfs"
and make pivot_root() work in the initramfs.
Currently pivot_root() does not work on the real rootfs because it
cannot be unmounted. Userspace has to recursively delete initramfs
contents manually before continuing boot, using the fragile
switch_root sequence (overmount + chroot).
Add nullfs, a minimal immutable filesystem that serves as the true
root of the mount hierarchy. The mutable rootfs (tmpfs/ramfs) is
mounted on top of it. This allows userspace to simply:
chdir(new_root);
pivot_root(".", ".");
umount2(".", MNT_DETACH);
without the traditional switch_root workarounds. systemd already
handles this correctly. It tries pivot_root() first and falls back
to MS_MOVE only when that fails.
This also means rootfs mounts in unprivileged namespaces no longer
need MNT_LOCKED, since the immutable nullfs guarantees nothing can be
revealed by unmounting the covering mount.
nullfs is a single-instance filesystem (get_tree_single()) marked
SB_NOUSER | SB_I_NOEXEC | SB_I_NODEV with an immutable empty root
directory. This means sooner or later it can be used to overmount
other directories to hide their contents without any additional
protection needed.
We enable it unconditionally. If we see any real regression we'll
hide it behind a boot option.
nullfs has extensions beyond this in the future. It will serve as a
concept to support the creation of completely empty mount namespaces -
which is work coming up in the next cycle"

Pull vfs lease updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains updates for lease support to require filesystems to
explicitly opt-in to lease support
Currently kernel_setlease() falls through to generic_setlease() when a
a filesystem does not define ->setlease(), silently granting lease
support to every filesystem regardless of whether it is prepared for
it.
This is a poor default: most filesystems never intended to support
leases, and the silent fallthrough makes it impossible to distinguish
"supports leases" from "never thought about it".
This inverts the default. It adds explicit
.setlease = generic_setlease;
assignments to every in-tree filesystem that should retain lease
support, then changes kernel_setlease() to return -EINVAL when
->setlease is NULL.
With the new default in place, simple_nosetlease() is redundant and
is removed along with all references to it"

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the changes to support non-blocking timestamp updates.
Since commit 66fa3cedf16a ("fs: Add async write file modification
handling") file_update_time_flags() unconditionally returns -EAGAIN
when any timestamp needs updating and IOCB_NOWAIT is set. This makes
non-blocking direct writes impossible on file systems with granular
enough timestamps, which in practice means all of them.
This reworks the timestamp update path to propagate IOCB_NOWAIT
through ->update_time so that file systems which can update timestamps
without blocking are no longer penalized.
With that groundwork in place, the core change passes IOCB_NOWAIT into
->update_time and returns -EAGAIN only when the file system indicates
it would block.
XFS implements non-blocking timestamp updates by using the new
->sync_lazytime and open-coding generic_update_time without the
S_NOWAIT check, since the lazytime path through the generic helpers
can never block in XFS"

The following changes are proposed in the upcoming Linux 7.0:
- Enable LZMA support by default, as it's already in use by Fedora 42/43
and some Android vendors for minimal filesystem sizes;
- Promote DEFLATE and Zstandard out of EXPERIMENTAL status, given that
they have been landed and well-tested for over a year and are
already ready for general use.

Currently, reading files with different paths (or names) but the same
content will consume multiple copies of the page cache, even if the
content of these page caches is the same. For example, reading
identical files (e.g., *.so files) from two different minor versions of
container images will cost multiple copies of the same page cache,
since different containers have different mount points. Therefore,
sharing the page cache for files with the same content can save memory.
This introduces the page cache share feature in erofs. It allocate a
shared inode and use its page cache as shared. Reads for files
with identical content will ultimately be routed to the page cache of
the shared inode. In this way, a single page cache satisfies
multiple read requests for different files with the same contents.
We introduce new mount option `inode_share` to enable the page
sharing mode during mounting. This option is used in conjunction
with `domain_id` to share the page cache within the same trusted
domain.

The mutable rootfs will be mounted on top of it. Systems that don't use
pivot_root() to pivot away from the real rootfs will have an additional
mount stick around but that shouldn't be a problem at all. If it is
we'll rever this commit.
This also simplifies the boot process and removes the need for the
traditional switch_root workarounds.

Allow the file system to explicitly implement lazytime syncing instead
of pigging back on generic inode dirtying. This allows to simplify
the XFS implementation and prepares for non-blocking lazytime timestamp

Pass the type of update (atime vs c/mtime plus version) as an enum
instead of a set of flags that caused all kinds of confusion.
Because inode_update_timestamps now can't return a modified version
of those flags, return the I_DIRTY_* flags needed to persist the
update, which is what the main caller in generic_update_time wants
anyway, and which is suitable for the other callers that only want
to know if an update happened.
The whole update_time path keeps the flags argument, which will be used
to support non-blocking updates soon even if it is unused, and (the
slightly renamed) inode_update_time also gains the possibility to return
a negative errno to support this.

Requesting a delegation on a file from the userland fcntl() interface
currently succeeds when there are conflicting opens present.
This is because the lease handling code ignores conflicting opens for
FL_LAYOUT and FL_DELEG leases. This was a hack put in place long ago,
because nfsd already checks for conflicts in its own way. The kernel
needs to perform this check for userland delegations the same way it is
done for leases, however.
Make this dependent on the lease_manager by adding a new
->lm_open_conflict() lease_manager operation and have
generic_add_lease() call that instead of check_conflicting_open().
Morph check_conflicting_open() into a ->lm_open_conflict() op that is
only called for userland leases/delegations. Set the
->lm_open_conflict() operations for nfsd to trivial functions that
always return 0.

Now that the last in-tree filesystem has been converted to the new mount
API, remove all legacy mount API code designed to handle un-converted
filesystems, and remove associated documentation as well.
(The code to handle the legacy mount(2) syscall from userspace is still
in place, of course.)

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"This series focuses on minor clean-ups and performance optimizations
across sysfs, documentation, debugfs, tracepoints, slab allocation,
and GC. Furthermore, it resolves several corner-case bugs caught by
xfstests, as well as issues related to 16KB page support and
f2fs_enable_checkpoint.
Enhancement:
- wrap ASCII tables in literal blocks to fix LaTeX build
- optimize trace_f2fs_write_checkpoint with enums
- support to show curseg.next_blkoff in debugfs
- add a sysfs entry to show max open zones
- add fadvise tracepoint
- use global inline_xattr_slab instead of per-sb slab cache
- set default valid_thresh_ratio to 80 for zoned devices
- maintain one time GC mode is enabled during whole zoned GC cycle
Bug fix:
- ensure node page reads complete before f2fs_put_super() finishes
- do not account invalid blocks in get_left_section_blocks()
- revert summary entry count from 2048 to 512 in 16kb block support
- detect recoverable inode during dryrun of find_fsync_dnodes()
- fix age extent cache insertion skip on counter overflow
- add sanity checks before unlinking and loading inodes
- ensure minimum trim granularity accounts for all devices
- block cache/dio write during f2fs_enable_checkpoint()
- propagate error from f2fs_enable_checkpoint()
- invalidate dentry cache on failed whiteout creation
- avoid updating compression context during writeback
- avoid updating zero-sized extent in extent cache
- avoid potential deadlock"

Pull nfsd updates from Chuck Lever:
- Mike Snitzer's mechanism for disabling I/O caching introduced in
v6.18 is extended to include using direct I/O. The goal is to further
reduce the memory footprint consumed by NFS clients accessing large
data sets via NFSD.
- The NFSD community adopted a maintainer entry profile during this
cycle. See
Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsd-maintainer-entry-profile.rst
- Work continues on hardening NFSD's implementation of the pNFS block
layout type. This type enables pNFS clients to directly access the
underlying block devices that contain an exported file system,
reducing server overhead and increasing data throughput.
- The remaining patches are clean-ups and minor optimizations. Many
thanks to the contributors, reviewers, testers, and bug reporters who
participated during the v6.19 NFSD development cycle.

Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro:
"Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to
pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing
those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually
_stored_ anywhere.
That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we
have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an
unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the
reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that
removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).
Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag
(DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set
claims responsibility for +1 in refcount.
The end result this series is aiming for:
- get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives
that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear
persistency flag.
- instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the
remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't
been removed prior to umount), have the regular
shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries,
dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that
kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super().
Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many
places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.
This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary
pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting
to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
to it.
Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
that stuff is here"

Sphinx's LaTeX builder fails when converting the nested ASCII tables in
f2fs.rst, producing the following error:
"Markup is unsupported in LaTeX: longtable does not support nesting a table."
Wrap the affected ASCII tables in literal code blocks to force Sphinx to
render them verbatim. This prevents nested longtables and fixes the PDF
build failure on Sphinx 8.2.x.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This has been another busy cycle for documentation, with a lot of
build-system thrashing. That work should slow down from here on out.
- The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in
several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under
tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be
easily moved without some further thought.
- As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules
that are imported by multiple programs. These modules have been
pulled together under tools/lib/python/ -- at least, for
documentation-related programs. There is other Python code in the
tree that might eventually want to move toward this organization.
- The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer
used by default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who
actually had to look at it.
- The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that
few dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program
(tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will
be far easier to understand and maintain.
- The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under
Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an
end to the use of Perl in the docs subsystem.
- The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more
reader-friendly presentation.
- A lot of Chinese translation additions
- Typo fixes and documentation updates as usual"

Pull crypto library updates from Eric Biggers:
"This is the main crypto library pull request for 6.19. It includes:
- Add SHA-3 support to lib/crypto/, including support for both the
hash functions and the extendable-output functions. Reimplement the
existing SHA-3 crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by the upcoming support for the ML-DSA
signature algorithm, which needs the SHAKE128 and SHAKE256
functions. But even on its own it's a useful cleanup.
This also fixes the longstanding issue where the
architecture-optimized SHA-3 code was disabled by default.
- Add BLAKE2b support to lib/crypto/, and reimplement the existing
BLAKE2b crypto_shash support on top of the library.
This is motivated mainly by btrfs, which supports BLAKE2b
checksums. With this change, all btrfs checksum algorithms now have
library APIs. btrfs is planned to start just using the library
directly.
This refactor also improves consistency between the BLAKE2b code
and BLAKE2s code. And as usual, it also fixes the issue where the
architecture-optimized BLAKE2b code was disabled by default.
- Add POLYVAL support to lib/crypto/, replacing the existing POLYVAL
support in crypto_shash. Reimplement HCTR2 on top of the library.
This simplifies the code and improves HCTR2 performance. As usual,
it also makes the architecture-optimized code be enabled by
default. The generic implementation of POLYVAL is greatly improved
as well.
- Clean up the BLAKE2s code
- Add FIPS self-tests for SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3"

Pull directory locking updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to add centralized APIs for directory locking
operations.
This series is part of a larger effort to change directory operation
locking to allow multiple concurrent operations in a directory. The
ultimate goal is to lock the target dentry(s) rather than the whole
parent directory.
To help with changing the locking protocol, this series centralizes
locking and lookup in new helper functions. The helpers establish a
pattern where it is the dentry that is being locked and unlocked
(currently the lock is held on dentry->d_parent->d_inode, but that can
change in the future).
This also changes vfs_mkdir() to unlock the parent on failure, as well
as dput()ing the dentry. This allows end_creating() to only require
the target dentry (which may be IS_ERR() after vfs_mkdir()), not the
parent"
