       "The audit updates are fairly minor with only two patches:
      
         - Send an audit ACK to userspace immediately upon receiving an auditd
           registration event as opposed to waiting until the registration has
           been fully processed and the audit backlog starts filling the
           netlink buffers.
      
           Sending the ACK earlier, as done here, is still safe as the
           operation should not fail at the point when the ACK is done, and
           doing so helps avoid the ACK being dropped in extreme situations.
      
         - Update the audit MAINTAINERS entry with additional information.
      
           There isn't anything in this update that should be new to regular
           contributors or list subscribers, but I'm pushing to start
           documenting our processes, conventions, etc. and this seems like an
           important part of that"

      Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
      
       - SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou)
      
         Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
         exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
         in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
         slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
         shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
         can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
         reusing the PG_workingset flag.
      
         This approach neatly avoids the issues described in 9b1ea29b
         ("Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab()
         fails"") as we can now grab a slab from the shared list in a quick
         and guaranteed way without the cmpxchg_double() operation that
         amplifies the lock contention and can fail.
      
         As a result, lkp has reported 34.2% improvement of
         stress-ng.rawudp.ops_per_sec
      
       - SLAB removal and SLUB cleanups (Vlastimil Babka)
      
         The SLAB allocator has been deprecated since 6.5 and nobody has
         objected so far. We agreed at LSF/MM to wait until the next LTS,
         which is 6.6, so we should be good to go now.
      
         This doesn't yet erase all traces of SLAB outside of mm/ so some dead
         code, comments or documentation remain, and will be cleaned up
         gradually (some series are already in the works).
      
         Removing the choice of allocators has already allowed to simplify and
         optimize the code wiring up the kmalloc APIs to the SLUB
         implementation.

      Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
      
       - Yafang Shao added task_get_cgroup1() helper to enable a similar BPF
         helper so that BPF progs can be more useful on cgroup1 hierarchies.
         While cgroup1 is mostly in maintenance mode, this addition is very
         small while having an outsized usefulness for users who are still on
         cgroup1. Yafang also optimized root cgroup list access by making it
         RCU protected in the process.
      
       - Waiman Long optimized rstat operation leading to substantially lower
         and more consistent lock hold time while flushing the hierarchical
         statistics. As the lock can be acquired briefly in various hot paths,
         this reduction has cascading benefits.
      
       - Waiman also improved the quality of isolation for cpuset's isolated
         partitions. CPUs which are allocated to isolated partitions are now
         excluded from running unbound work items and cpu_is_isolated() test
         which is used by vmstat and memcg to reduce interference now includes
         cpuset isolated CPUs. While it isn't there yet, the hope is
         eventually reaching parity with the isolation level provided by the
         `isolcpus` boot param but in a dynamic manner.

      arm64: Update __NR_compat_syscalls for statmount/listmount · f0a78b3e

      Commit d8b0f546 ("wire up syscalls for statmount/listmount") added
      two new system calls to arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd32.h but forgot to
      update the __NR_compat_syscalls number, thus causing the following build
      failures:
      
        arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd32.h:922:24: error: array index in initializer exceeds array bounds
          922 | #define __NR_statmount 457

      commit 23baf831 ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
      changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive.  This has caused
      issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
      definition.
      
      To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
      to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

      Pull vfs cachefiles updates from Christian Brauner:
       "This contains improvements for on-demand cachefiles.
      
        If the daemon crashes and the on-demand cachefiles fd is unexpectedly
        closed in-flight requests and subsequent read operations associated
        with the fd will fail with EIO. This causes issues in various
        scenarios as this failure is currently unrecoverable.
      
        The work contained in this pull request introduces a failover mode and
        enables the daemon to recover in-flight requested-related objects. A
        restarted daemon will be able to process requests as usual.
      
        This requires that in-flight requests are stored during daemon crash
        or while the daemon is offline. In addition, a handle to
        /dev/cachefiles needs to be stored.
      
        This can be done by e.g., systemd's fdstore (cf. [1]) which enables
        the restarted daemon to recover state.
      
        Three new states are introduced in this patchset:
      
         (1) CLOSE
             Object is closed by the daemon.
      
         (2) OPEN
             Object is open and ready for processing. IOW, the open request
             has been handled successfully.
      
         (3) REOPENING
             Object has been previously closed and is now reopened due to a
             read request.
      
        A restarted daemon can recover the /dev/cachefiles fd from systemd's
        fdstore and writes "restore" to the device. This causes the object
        state to be reset from CLOSE to REOPENING and reinitializes the
        object.
      
        The daemon may now handle the open request. Any in-flight operations
        are restored and handled avoiding interruptions for users"

      Pull vfs rw updates from Christian Brauner:
       "This contains updates from Amir for read-write backing file helpers
        for stacking filesystems such as overlayfs:
      
         - Fanotify is currently in the process of introducing pre content
           events. Roughly, a new permission event will be added indicating
           that it is safe to write to the file being accessed. These events
           are used by hierarchical storage managers to e.g., fill the content
           of files on first access.
      
           During that work we noticed that our current permission checking is
           inconsistent in rw_verify_area() and remap_verify_area().
           Especially in the splice code permission checking is done multiple
           times. For example, one time for the whole range and then again for
           partial ranges inside the iterator.
      
           In addition, we mostly do permission checking before we call
           file_start_write() except for a few places where we call it after.
           For pre-content events we need such permission checking to be done
           before file_start_write(). So this is a nice reason to clean this
           all up.
      
           After this series, all permission checking is done before
           file_start_write().
      
           As part of this cleanup we also massaged the splice code a bit. We
           got rid of a few helpers because we are alredy drowning in special
           read-write helpers. We also cleaned up the return types for splice
           helpers.
      
         - Introduce generic read-write helpers for backing files. This lifts
           some overlayfs code to common code so it can be used by the FUSE
           passthrough work coming in over the next cycles. Make Amir and
           Miklos the maintainers for this new subsystem of the vfs"

      Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
       "This contains the work to retrieve detailed information about mounts
        via two new system calls. This is hopefully the beginning of the end
        of the saga that started with fsinfo() years ago.
      
        The LWN articles in [1] and [2] can serve as a summary so we can avoid
        rehashing everything here.
      
        At LSFMM in May 2022 we got into a room and agreed on what we want to
        do about fsinfo(). Basically, split it into pieces. This is the first
        part of that agreement. Specifically, it is concerned with retrieving
        information about mounts. So this only concerns the mount information
        retrieval, not the mount table change notification, or the extended
        filesystem specific mount option work. That is separate work.
      
        Currently mounts have a 32bit id. Mount ids are already in heavy use
        by libmount and other low-level userspace but they can't be relied
        upon because they're recycled very quickly. We agreed that mounts
        should carry a unique 64bit id by which they can be referenced
        directly. This is now implemented as part of this work.
      
        The new 64bit mount id is exposed in statx() through the new
        STATX_MNT_ID_UNIQUE flag. If the flag isn't raised the old mount id is
        returned. If it is raised and the kernel supports the new 64bit mount
        id the flag is raised in the result mask and the new 64bit mount id is
        returned. New and old mount ids do not overlap so they cannot be
        conflated.
      
        Two new system calls are introduced that operate on the 64bit mount
        id: statmount() and listmount(). A summary of the api and usage can be
        found on LWN as well (cf. [3]) but of course, I'll provide a summary
        here as well.
      
        Both system calls rely on struct mnt_id_req. Which is the request
        struct used to pass the 64bit mount id identifying the mount to
        operate on. It is extensible to allow for the addition of new
        parameters and for future use in other apis that make use of mount
        ids.
      
        statmount() mimicks the semantics of statx() and exposes a set flags
        that userspace may raise in mnt_id_req to request specific information
        to be retrieved. A statmount() call returns a struct statmount filled
        in with information about the requested mount. Supported requests are
        indicated by raising the request flag passed in struct mnt_id_req in
        the @mask argument in struct statmount.
      
        Currently we do support:
      
         - STATMOUNT_SB_BASIC:
           Basic filesystem info
      
         - STATMOUNT_MNT_BASIC
           Mount information (mount id, parent mount id, mount attributes etc)
      
         - STATMOUNT_PROPAGATE_FROM
           Propagation from what mount in current namespace
      
         - STATMOUNT_MNT_ROOT
           Path of the root of the mount (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /bla)
      
         - STATMOUNT_MNT_POINT
           Path of the mount point (e.g., mount --bind /bla /mnt returns /mnt)
      
         - STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
           Name of the filesystem type as the magic number isn't enough due to submounts
      
        The string options STATMOUNT_MNT_{ROOT,POINT} and STATMOUNT_FS_TYPE
        are appended to the end of the struct. Userspace can use the offsets
        in @fs_type, @mnt_root, and @mnt_point to reference those strings
        easily.
      
        The struct statmount reserves quite a bit of space currently for
        future extensibility. This isn't really a problem and if this bothers
        us we can just send a follow-up pull request during this cycle.
      
        listmount() is given a 64bit mount id via mnt_id_req just as
        statmount(). It takes a buffer and a size to return an array of the
        64bit ids of the child mounts of the requested mount. Userspace can
        thus choose to either retrieve child mounts for a mount in batches or
        iterate through the child mounts. For most use-cases it will be
        sufficient to just leave space for a few child mounts. But for big
        mount tables having an iterator is really helpful. Iterating through a
        mount table works by setting @param in mnt_id_req to the mount id of
        the last child mount retrieved in the previous listmount() call"

      Pull vfs super updates from Christian Brauner:
       "This contains the super work for this cycle including the long-awaited
        series by Jan to make it possible to prevent writing to mounted block
        devices:
      
         - Writing to mounted devices is dangerous and can lead to filesystem
           corruption as well as crashes. Furthermore syzbot comes with more
           and more involved examples how to corrupt block device under a
           mounted filesystem leading to kernel crashes and reports we can do
           nothing about. Add tracking of writers to each block device and a
           kernel cmdline argument which controls whether other writeable
           opens to block devices open with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES flag are
           allowed.
      
           Note that this effectively only prevents modification of the
           particular block device's page cache by other writers. The actual
           device content can still be modified by other means - e.g. by
           issuing direct scsi commands, by doing writes through devices lower
           in the storage stack (e.g. in case loop devices, DM, or MD are
           involved) etc. But blocking direct modifications of the block
           device page cache is enough to give filesystems a chance to perform
           data validation when loading data from the underlying storage and
           thus prevent kernel crashes.
      
           Syzbot can use this cmdline argument option to avoid uninteresting
           crashes. Also users whose userspace setup does not need writing to
           mounted block devices can set this option for hardening. We expect
           that this will be interesting to quite a few workloads.
      
           Btrfs is currently opted out of this because they still haven't
           merged patches we require for this to work from three kernel
           releases ago.
      
         - Reimplement block device freezing and thawing as holder operations
           on the block device.
      
           This allows us to extend block device freezing to all devices
           associated with a superblock and not just the main device. It also
           allows us to remove get_active_super() and thus another function
           that scans the global list of superblocks.
      
           Freezing via additional block devices only works if the filesystem
           chooses to use @fs_holder_ops for these additional devices as well.
           That currently only includes ext4 and xfs.
      
           Earlier releases switched get_tree_bdev() and mount_bdev() to use
           @fs_holder_ops. The remaining nilfs2 open-coded version of
           mount_bdev() has been converted to rely on @fs_holder_ops as well.
           So block device freezing for the main block device will continue to
           work as before.
      
           There should be no regressions in functionality. The only special
           case is btrfs where block device freezing for the main block device
           never worked because sb->s_bdev isn't set. Block device freezing
           for btrfs can be fixed once they can switch to @fs_holder_ops but
           that can happen whenever they're ready"

       "This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
        for vfs and individual fses.
      
        Features:
      
         - Add Jan Kara as VFS reviewer
      
         - Show correct device and inode numbers in proc/<pid>/maps for vma
           files on stacked filesystems. This is now easily doable thanks to
           the backing file work from the last cycles. This comes with
           selftests
      
        Cleanups:
      
         - Remove a redundant might_sleep() from wait_on_inode()
      
         - Initialize pointer with NULL, not 0
      
         - Clarify comment on access_override_creds()
      
         - Rework and simplify eventfd_signal() and eventfd_signal_mask()
           helpers
      
         - Process aio completions in batches to avoid needless wakeups
      
         - Completely decouple struct mnt_idmap from namespaces. We now only
           keep the actual idmapping around and don't stash references to
           namespaces
      
         - Reformat maintainer entries to indicate that a given subsystem
           belongs to fs/
      
         - Simplify fput() for files that were never opened
      
         - Get rid of various pointless file helpers
      
         - Rename various file helpers
      
         - Rename struct file members after SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU switch from
           last cycle
      
         - Make relatime_need_update() return bool
      
         - Use GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_USER when allocating superblocks
      
         - Replace deprecated ida_simple_*() calls with their current ida_*()
           counterparts
      
        Fixes:
      
         - Fix comments on user namespace id mapping helpers. They aren't
           kernel doc comments so they shouldn't be using /**
      
         - s/Retuns/Returns/g in various places
      
         - Add missing parameter documentation on can_move_mount_beneath()
      
         - Rename i_mapping->private_data to i_mapping->i_private_data
      
         - Fix a false-positive lockdep warning in pipe_write() for watch
           queues
      
         - Improve __fget_files_rcu() code generation to improve performance
      
         - Only notify writer that pipe resizing has finished after setting
           pipe->max_usage otherwise writers are never notified that the pipe
           has been resized and hang
      
         - Fix some kernel docs in hfsplus
      
         - s/passs/pass/g in various places
