Pull vfs writeback updates from Christian Brauner:
"This makes sync_inode_metadata() and writeback_single_inode() persist
not only the inode but all metadata associated with it.
A new .sync_inode_metadata superblock operation is called from
__writeback_single_inode(). Alongside it a new I_METADATA_WRITEBACK
state flag is added.
Filesystems no longer need their own mmb_fsync() implementations and
can just use simple_fsync(). All metadata is now written for IS_SYNC
and IS_DIRSYNC inodes. Races where several fsyncs raced and mmb_sync()
could return before all buffers were really persisted are fixed since
I_SYNC now serializes properly.
The I_METADATA_WRITEBACK scheme also fixes the case where a
WB_SYNC_NONE writeback landing between write(2) and fsync(2) left
fsync(2) failing to persist the inode. That problem is not specific to

erofs can mount read-only blob devices shared between many

Pull overlayfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This lets the merged overlayfs mount itself be idmapped through
mount_setattr(MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP), in addition to the already supported
idmapped lower and upper layers. The same overlay tree can then be

Overlayfs already normalizes every underlying id through the relevant
layer idmap when ovl_copyattr() copies attributes into the overlay
inode. So the overlay inode's i_uid and i_gid are overlay-final ids.
The overlay mount idmap composes on top of that and is applied at the
overlay-inode boundary only while the underlying layers keep being
accessed with the mounter's credentials through their own (possibly
idmapped) mounts.
So this only changes how the caller sees the overlay inode and never
widens the mounter's access to the layers. The second,

The open-coded check for a count below zero as the dead marker

namespace disconnected its mounts from their mount points. So a
file descriptor still open on the parent of a mount point could be
used to peek under it.
Locked mounts were already kept connected to prevent exactly that.
But a mount is only locked when its tree is copied across a user
namespace boundary. So a mount namespace set up by a privileged
component had no locked mounts and its mounts were disconnected.

Pull kthread vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This stops kernel threads from sharing filesystem state with
userspace. This work is about 3 cycles old and has been in -next
for about that time.
When the kernel boots init_task creates PID 1 and then kthreadd. From
that point every kthread and PID 1 share the same fs_struct. That is
why pivot_root() has to rewrite the fs_struct of all kthreads. The
rewriting exists so that kthreads can use init's filesystem state when
they want to. It also means userspace can move the ground out from
under the kernel.
PID 1 now gets a completely separate fs_struct. All kthreads are
anchored in a private SB_KERNMOUNT instance of nullfs that cannot be
mounted on and cannot be used to follow other mounts. Userspace init
can no longer affect kthread filesystem state and kthreads can no
longer affect userspace fs state without explicit opting in to that.

Every iomap operation drove its iteration through a struct iomap_ops

those as pointers. That means every step of every iteration is an
indirect call.
This collapses both into one ->iomap_next() callback that finishes the
previous mapping and produces the next one. This lets callers inline
the iteration loop and pass its ->iomap_next() as a compile time
constant. That means the compiler can turn it into a direct and hence
inlineable call.

iteration forward better. xfs, btrfs, ext4, ext2, erofs, f2fs, gfs2,

Failfs is the counterpart to nullfs. nullfs says adds a permanently

fails every operation. The root cannot be opened at all. A single

wifi: mt76: mt7921: refactor regd update to fix recursive mutex deadlock
Split mt7921_mcu_regd_update() into two functions to prevent recursive
mutex acquisition. Introduce __mt7921_mcu_regd_update() as the internal
implementation that assumes the mutex is already held by the caller,
while mt7921_mcu_regd_update() remains as the external interface that
handles mutex acquisition and release.
This fixes a deadlock issue when mt7921_regd_set_6ghz_power_type() is
called with the device mutex already held. Without this change, calling
mt7921_mcu_regd_update() would attempt to acquire the same mutex again,
causing a recursive lock deadlock.
The __mt7921_mcu_regd_update() function can be safely called when the
caller has already acquired the device mutex, avoiding the deadlock
while maintaining proper synchronization for regulatory domain updates.

openrisc: signal: do not restore privileged SR bits on sigreturn
restore_sigcontext() copies the whole supervision register (SR) from the
signal frame and only clears SPR_SR_SM before the value is reloaded into
the hardware SR (through ESR and l.rfe) on the return to user space. All
other SR bits are left under user control.
An unprivileged task can thus return from a signal handler through a
crafted sigframe that clears SPR_SR_DME. With the data MMU disabled the
CPU performs no translation or protection on data accesses, so the task
gains read and write access to arbitrary physical memory, a local
privilege escalation. SPR_SR_IME, SPR_SR_SUMRA, SPR_SR_LEE, SPR_SR_EPH
and the cache-enable bits are exposed the same way. The ptrace GPR regset
already refuses any change to SR for exactly this reason.
Restore only the arithmetic flag bits (F, CY, OV) from the signal frame
and take every privileged control bit from the SR the kernel saved on
signal entry.
