Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "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

   - Fix kernel docs in ntfs

   - Fix kcalloc() arguments order reported by gcc 14

   - Fix uninitialized value in reiserfs"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
