Pull vfs inode / dentry updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains smaller performance improvements to inodes and dentries: inode: - Add rcu based inode lookup variants. They avoid one inode hash lock acquire in the common case thereby significantly reducing contention. We already support RCU-based operations but didn't take advantage of them during inode insertion. Callers of iget_locked() get the improvement without any code changes. Callers that need a custom callback can switch to iget5_locked_rcu() as e.g., did btrfs. With 20 threads each walking a dedicated 1000 dirs * 1000 files directory tree to stat(2) on a 32 core + 24GB ram vm: before: 3.54s user 892.30s system 1966% cpu 45.549 total after: 3.28s user 738.66s system 1955% cpu 37.932 total (-16.7%) Long-term we should pick up the effort to introduce more fine-grained locking and possibly improve on the currently used hash implementation. - Start zeroing i_state in inode_init_always() instead of doing it in individual filesystems. This allows us to remove an unneeded lock acquire in new_inode() and not burden individual filesystems with this. dcache: - Move d_lockref out of the area used by RCU lookup to avoid cacheline ping poing because the embedded name is sharing a cacheline with d_lockref. - Fix dentry size on 32bit with CONFIG_SMP=y so it does actually end up with 128 bytes in total" * tag 'vfs-6.11.inode' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: fix dentry size vfs: move d_lockref out of the area used by RCU lookup bcachefs: remove now spurious i_state initialization xfs: remove now spurious i_state initialization in xfs_inode_alloc vfs: partially sanitize i_state zeroing on inode creation xfs: preserve i_state around inode_init_always in xfs_reinit_inode btrfs: use iget5_locked_rcu vfs: add rcu-based find_inode variants for iget ops
