- Revamp fs/filesystems.c
The file was a mess with a hand-rolled linked list in desperate need
of a cleanup. The filesystems list is now RCU-ified, /proc files can
be marked permanent from outside fs/proc/, and the string emitted
when reading /proc/filesystems is pre-generated and cached instead of
pointer-chasing and printfing entry by entry on every read.
The file is read frequently because libselinux reads it and is linked
into numerous frequently used programs (even ones you would not
suspect, like sed!). Scalability also improves since reference
maintenance on open/close is bypassed.

"Features:
- Reduce pipe->mutex contention by pre-allocating pages outside the

anon_pipe_write() called alloc_page() once per page while holding

memcg charging, which extends the critical section and stalls any
concurrent reader on the same mutex. Now up to 8 pages are
pre-allocated before the mutex is taken, leftovers are recycled
into the per-pipe tmp_page[] cache before unlock, and any remainder
is released after unlock, keeping the allocator out of the critical
section on both sides. On a writers x readers sweep with 64KB
writes against a 1 MB pipe throughput improves 6-28% and average
write latency drops 5-22%; under memory pressure - when the cost of
holding the mutex across reclaim is highest - throughput improves

"This reworks the simple xattr api to make it more efficient and easier
to use for all consumers.
The simple_xattr hash table moves from the inode into a per-superblock

no xattrs. The interface now passes struct simple_xattrs ** so lazy
allocation is handled internally instead of by every caller, kernfs
xattr operations on kernfs nodes shared between multiple superblocks
are properly serialized, and tmpfs constructs "security.foo" xattr
names with kasprintf() instead of kmalloc() plus two memcpy()s.
A follow-up fix links kernfs nodes to their parent before the LSM init
hook runs: with the per-sb cache kernfs_xattr_set() computes the cache
via kernfs_root(kn), which faulted on a freshly allocated node when
selinux_kernfs_init_security() called into it - reproducible as a NULL

Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner:
- Add the vfs infrastructure required to implement fs-verity support
for XFS with a post-EOF merkle tree: fsverity generates and stores a
zero-block hash, and iomap learns to verify data on buffered reads,
to handle fsverity during writeback via the new IOMAP_F_FSVERITY
flag, and to write fsverity metadata through iomap_fsverity_write().
- Skip the memset of the iomap in iomap_iter() once the iteration is
done. In high-IOPS scenarios (4k randread NVMe polling via io_uring)
the pointless memset wasted memory write bandwidth; this improves
IOPS by about 5% on ext4 and xfs.
- Add balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to iomap_zero_iter(), aligning
it with iomap_write_iter(). This prepares for the exFAT iomap
conversion where zeroing beyond valid_size can trigger large-scale
zeroing operations that caused memory pressure without throttling.

- eventpoll clarity refactor
The recent eventpoll UAF fixes (a6dc643c6931 and follow-ups) depended
on invariants in fs/eventpoll.c that were nowhere documented and had
to be reverse-engineered from the code: the lifetime relationships
between struct eventpoll, struct epitem, and struct file, the three
removal paths coordinating via epi_fget() pins and ep->mtx, the
ovflist sentinel-encoded scan state machine, the POLLFREE
release/acquire handshake, and the loop / path check globals
serialized by epnested_mutex. The fixes were correct but the next
person to touch this code would hit the same learning curve.
This series codifies those invariants in source and tightens the
surrounding structure. No functional changes intended:

- Fix a race between cgroup_writeback_umount() and inode_switch_wbs()
When a container exits, a race between cgroup_writeback_umount() and
inode_switch_wbs()/cleanup_offline_cgwb() can trigger "VFS: Busy
inodes after unmount" followed by a use-after-free on percpu
counters.
There is a window between inode_prepare_wbs_switch() returning true
(having passed the SB_ACTIVE check and grabbed the inode) and the
subsequent wb_queue_isw() call: if cgroup_writeback_umount() observes
the global isw_nr_in_flight counter as non-zero but flush_workqueue()
finds nothing queued yet, it returns early - leaving a held inode
reference that blocks evict_inodes() and a later iput() that hits
freed percpu counters.

__ptrace_may_access() and several /proc owner and visibility checks
need to consult two pieces of state for any observable task, including
zombies that have already gone through exit_mm(): the dumpable mode
and the user namespace captured at execve(). Both live on mm_struct
today, which exit_mm() clears from the task long before the task is
reaped. A reader that races with do_exit() observes task->mm == NULL
and either fails the check or falls back to init_user_ns - which
denies legitimate access to non-dumpable zombies that were running in
a nested user namespace.
mm_struct loses ->user_ns and the dumpability bits in ->flags.

"This exposes the case folding behavior of local filesystems so that
file servers - nfsd, ksmbd, and user space file servers - can report
the actual behavior to clients instead of guessing.
Filesystems report case-insensitive and case-nonpreserving behavior
via new file_kattr flags in their fileattr_get implementations. fat,
exfat, ntfs3, hfs, hfsplus, xfs, cifs, nfs, vboxsf, and isofs are
wired up. Local filesystems that are not explicitly handled default to
the usual POSIX behavior of case-sensitive and case-preserving.
nfsd uses this to report case folding via NFSv3 PATHCONF and to
implement the NFSv4 FATTR4_CASE_INSENSITIVE and FATTR4_CASE_PRESERVING
attributes - both have been part of the NFS protocols for decades to
support clients on non-POSIX systems - and ksmbd reports it via

With this in place nfsd can request delegations on directories and set
up inotify watches to trigger sending CB_NOTIFY events to clients
instead of having every directory change break the delegation.

break_lease(), and trace_break_lease_block() is passed the currently

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
"This extends the lockless ->i_count handling.

acquiring a reference is lockless as long as the count was already at
least 1, i.e., only the 0->1 and 1->0 transitions take the lock.
This avoids the lock for the common cases of nfs calling into the
inode hash and btrfs using igrab(). Cleanup-wise icount_read_once() is
added to line up with inode_state_read_once() and the open-coded
->i_count loads across the tree are converted, and ihold() is
relocated and tidied up.
On top of that some stale lock ordering annotations are retired from
the inode hash code: iunique() no longer takes the hash lock since the
inode hash became RCU-searchable and s_inode_list_lock is no longer
