git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4
Pull ext4 bug fixes from Ted Ts'o:
- Fix regression caused by removing CONFIG_EXT3_FS when testing some
very old defconfigs
- Avoid a BUG_ON when opening a file on a maliciously corrupted file
system
- Avoid mm warnings when freeing a very large orphan file metadata
- Avoid a theoretical races between metadata writeback and checkpoints
(it's very hard to hit in practice, since the race requires that the
writeback take a very long time)
* tag 'ext4_for_linus-6.18-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4:
Use CONFIG_EXT4_FS instead of CONFIG_EXT3_FS in all of the defconfigs
ext4: free orphan info with kvfree
ext4: detect invalid INLINE_DATA + EXTENTS flag combination
ext4, doc: fix and improve directory hash tree description
ext4: wait for ongoing I/O to complete before freeing blocks
jbd2: ensure that all ongoing I/O complete before freeing blocks

Commit d6ace46c82fd ("ext4: remove obsolete EXT3 config options")
removed the obsolete EXT3_CONFIG options, since it had been over a
decade since fs/ext3 had been removed. Unfortunately, there were a
number of defconfigs that still used CONFIG_EXT3_FS which the cleanup
commit didn't fix up. This led to a large number of defconfig test
builds to fail. Oops.

Supported a complete jump_label implementation based on the ARM64 and
RV64 version and add the CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=y to the defconfig.
Testing was conducted using a dedicated test module jump-label-test,
provided in the link below. For detailed steps, please refer to the
README also at the provided link.
Link: https://github.com/ChenMiaoi/GSoC-2025-Final-Report/tree/main/tests/jump-label-test
Test Environment:
- Hardware: QEMU emulated OR1K
- Kernel Version: 6.17.0-rc3-dirty
- Configs: CONFIG_MODULES=y,CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y
- Toolchain: or1k-none-linux-musl-gcc 15.1.0
Test Results:
$ insmod jump_label_test.ko
[ 32.590000] Jump label performance test module loaded
[ 35.250000] Normal branch time: 1241327150 ns (124 ns per iteration)
[ 35.250000] Jump label (false) time: 706422700 ns (70 ns per iteration)
[ 35.250000] Jump label (true) time: 708913450 ns (70 ns per iteration)
$ rmmod jump_label_test.ko
[ 72.210000] Jump label test module unloaded
The results show approximately 43% improvement in branch performance
when using jump labels compared to traditional branches.

Regenerating defconfigs allows subsequent changes to the configs to
be related only to the corresponding modifications, without mixing
changes from other configs.

I have been developing a new qemu virt platform to help with more
efficient toolchain and kernel testing [1].
This patch adds the defconfig which is needed to support booting
linux on the platform.
