lib: Add stale 'raid6' directory to .gitignore file
I keep having to do this, because people think they can just move
directories around and move the gitignore files around with them.
You really can't do that - the old generated files stay around for
others, and still need to be ignored in the old location.
So when moving gitignore entries around because you moved the files (or
when moving a whole gitignore file around because the directory it was
in moved), the old gitignore situation needs to be dealt with.
Yes, those files may have moved in *your* tree when you moved the
directory. And yes, new repositories will never even have seen them.
But all those other developers that see the result of your move still
likely have a working tree with the old state, and the files that were
hidden from git by an old gitignore file do not suddenly become
relevant.

Notable changes:
- Big set of cleanups and improvements to the locking support. This
series contains some cleanups and bug fixes for code and documentation
around write protection. Then support is added for complement locking,
which allows finer grained configuration of what is considered locked
and unlocked. Then complement locking is enabled on a bunch of Winbond
W25 flashes.
- Fix die erase support on Spansion flashes. Die erase is only supported
on multi-die flashes, but the die erase opcode was set for all. When
the opcode is set, it overrides the default chip erase opcode which
should be used for single-die flashes. Only set the opcode on
multi-die flashes. Also, the opcode was not set on multi-die s28hx-t
flashes. Set it so they can use die-erase correctly.

net/9p: fix race condition on rdma->state in trans_rdma.c
The rdma->state field is modified without holding req_lock in both
recv_done() and p9_cm_event_handler(), while rdma_request() accesses
the same field under the req_lock spinlock. This inconsistent locking
creates a race condition:
- recv_done() running in softirq completion context sets
rdma->state = P9_RDMA_FLUSHING without acquiring req_lock
- p9_cm_event_handler() modifies rdma->state at multiple points
(ADDR_RESOLVED, ROUTE_RESOLVED, ESTABLISHED, CLOSED) without
req_lock
- rdma_request() uses spin_lock_irqsave(&rdma->req_lock, flags) to
protect the read-modify-write of rdma->state
The race can cause lost state transitions: recv_done() or the CM
event handler could set state to FLUSHING/CLOSED while rdma_request()

9p: skip nlink update in cacheless mode to fix WARN_ON
v9fs_dec_count() unconditionally calls drop_nlink() on regular files,
even when the inode's nlink is already zero. In cacheless mode the
client refetches inode metadata from the server (the source of truth)
on every operation, so by the time v9fs_remove() returns, the locally
cached nlink may already reflect the post-unlink value:
1. Client initiates unlink, server processes it and sets nlink to 0
2. Client refetches inode metadata (nlink=0) before unlink returns
3. Client's v9fs_remove() completes successfully
4. Client calls v9fs_dec_count() which calls drop_nlink() on nlink=0
This race is easily triggered under heavy unlink workloads, such as
stress-ng's unlink stressor, producing the following warning:
WARNING: fs/inode.c:417 at drop_nlink+0x4c/0xc8
Call trace:
drop_nlink+0x4c/0xc8

9p: Enable symlink caching in page cache
Currently, when cache=loose is enabled, file reads are cached in the
page cache, but symlink reads are not. This patch allows the results

the need for repeated 9P transactions on subsequent symlink accesses.
This change improves performance for workloads that involve frequent
symlink resolution.

9p: avoid returning ERR_PTR(0) from mkdir operations
When mkdir succeeds, v9fs_vfs_mkdir_dotl() and v9fs_vfs_mkdir() return
ERR_PTR(0) which is incorrect. They should return NULL instead for
success and ERR_PTR() only with negative error codes for failure.
Return NULL instead of passing to ERR_PTR while err is zero
Fixes smatch warnings:
fs/9p/vfs_inode_dotl.c:420 v9fs_vfs_mkdir_dotl() warn: passing zero to 'ERR_PTR'
fs/9p/vfs_inode.c:695 v9fs_vfs_mkdir() warn: passing zero to 'ERR_PTR'
The v9fs_vfs_mkdir() code was further simplified because v9fs_create()
can never return NULL, so we do not need to check for fid being set
separately, and the error path can be a simple return immediately after
v9fs_create() failure.
There is no intended functional change.

9p: Cache negative dentries for lookup performance
Not caching negative dentries can result in poor performance for
workloads that repeatedly look up non-existent paths. Each such
lookup triggers a full 9P transaction with the server, adding
unnecessary overhead.
A typical example is source compilation, where multiple cc1 processes
are spawned and repeatedly search for the same missing header files
over and over again.
This change enables caching of negative dentries, so that lookups for
known non-existent paths do not require a full 9P transaction. The
cached negative dentries are retained for a configurable duration
(expressed in milliseconds), as specified by the ndentry_timeout
field in struct v9fs_session_info. If set to -1, negative dentries
are cached indefinitely.
This optimization reduces lookup overhead and improves performance for

9p: avoid putting oldfid in p9_client_walk() error path
When p9_client_walk() is called with clone set to false, fid aliases
oldfid. If the walk subsequently fails after the request has been sent,
the error path jumps to clunk_fid, which currently calls p9_fid_put(fid)
unconditionally.
This drops a reference to oldfid even though ownership of oldfid remains
with the caller. If this is the last reference, oldfid can be clunked and
destroyed while the caller still expects it to be valid. A later use or
put of oldfid can then trigger a use-after-free or refcount underflow.
Fix this by only putting fid in the clunk_fid error path when it does not
alias oldfid, matching the existing guard in the error path below.
This can be triggered when a multi-component walk is split into multiple
p9_client_walk() calls and a later non-cloning walk fails. A reproducer
and refcount warning logs are available on request.

9p: Add mount option for negative dentry cache retention
Introduce a new mount option, negtimeout, for v9fs that allows users
to specify how long negative dentries are retained in the cache. The
retention time can be set in milliseconds (e.g. negtimeout=10000 for
a 10secs retention time) or a negative value (e.g. negtimeout=-1) to
keep negative entries until the buffer cache management removes them.
For consistency reasons, this option should only be used in exclusive
or read-only mount scenarios, aligning with the cache=loose usage.
