Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "VFS:

   - The new 64bit mount ids start after the old mount id, i.e., at the
     first non-32 bit value. However, we started counting one id too
     late and thus lost 4294967296 as the first valid id. Fix that.

   - Update a few comments on some vfs_*() creation helpers.

   - Move copying of the xattr name out from the locks required to start
     a filesystem write.

   - Extend the filelock lock UAF fix to the compat code as well.

   - Now that we added the ability to look up an inode under RCU it's
     possible that lockless hash lookup can find and lock an inode after
     it gets I_FREEING set. It then waits until inode teardown in
     evict() is finished.

     The flag however is still set after evict() has woken up all
     waiters. If the inode lock is taken late enough on the waiting side
     after hash removal and wakeup happened the waiting thread will
     never be woken.

     Before RCU based lookup this was synchronized via the
     inode_hash_lock. But since unhashing requires the inode lock as
     well we can check whether the inode is unhashed while holding inode
     lock even without holding inode_hash_lock.

  pidfd:

   - The nsproxy structure contains nearly all of the namespaces
     associated with a task. When a namespace type isn't supported
     nsproxy might contain a NULL pointer or always point to the initial
     namespace type. The logic isn't consistent. So when deriving
     namespace fds we need to ensure that the namespace type is
     supported.

     First, so that we don't risk dereferncing NULL pointers. The
     correct bigger fix would be to change all namespaces to always set
     a valid namespace pointer in struct nsproxy independent of whether
     or not it is compiled in. But that requires quite a few changes.

     Second, so that we don't allow deriving namespace fds when the
     namespace type doesn't exist and thus when they couldn't also be
     derived via /proc/self/ns/.

   - Add missing selftests for the new pidfd ioctls to derive namespace
     fds. This simply extends the already existing testsuite.

  netfs:

   - Fix debug logging and fix kconfig variable name so it actually
     works.

   - Fix writeback that goes both to the server and cache. The streams
     are only activated once a subreq is added. When a server write
     happens the subreq doesn't need to have finished by the time the
     cache write is started. If the server write has already finished by
     the time the cache write is about to start the cache write will
     operate on a folio that might already have been reused. Fix this by
     preactivating the cache write.

   - Limit cachefiles subreq size for cache writes to MAX_RW_COUNT"

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 reStructuredText 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.
