filemap_nr_thps*() are removed, the related field, address_space->nr_thps,
is no longer needed. Remove it. This shrinks struct address_space by 8
bytes on 64-bit systems which may increase the number of inodes we can
cache.

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
"This extends the lockless ->i_count handling.
iput() could already decrement any value greater than one locklessly
but acquiring a reference always required taking inode->i_lock. Now
acquiring a reference is lockless as long as the count was already at
least 1, i.e., only the 0->1 and 1->0 transitions take the lock.
This avoids the lock for the common cases of nfs calling into the
inode hash and btrfs using igrab(). Cleanup-wise icount_read_once() is
added to line up with inode_state_read_once() and the open-coded
->i_count loads across the tree are converted, and ihold() is
relocated and tidied up.
On top of that some stale lock ordering annotations are retired from
the inode hash code: iunique() no longer takes the hash lock since the
inode hash became RCU-searchable and s_inode_list_lock is no longer
taken under the hash lock either"

With this change only 0->1 and 1->0 transitions need the lock.
I verified all places which look at the refcount either only care about
it staying 0 (and have the lock enforce it) or don't hold the inode lock
to begin with (making the above change irrelevant to their correcness or
lack thereof).
I also confirmed nfs and btrfs like to call into these a lot and now
avoid the lock in the common case, shaving off some atomics.

The placement was illogical, move it next to igrab().
Take this opportunity to add docs and an assert on the refcount. While
its modification remains gated with a WARN_ON, the new assert will also
dump the inode state which might aid debugging.

When updating timestamps with lazytime enabled, if only I_DIRTY_TIME is
set (pure lazytime update), inode_maybe_inc_iversion() should not be
forced to increment i_version. The force parameter should only be true
when actual data or metadata changes require an iversion bump.
The current code uses "!!dirty" which evaluates to true whenever dirty
has any bits set, including the I_DIRTY_TIME bit alone. This forces an
iversion increment on every lazytime timestamp update, which then sets
I_DIRTY_SYNC, triggering expensive log flushes on subsequent fdatasync
calls. Andres reported this issue when he noticed a perf regression[1].
Fix this by using "dirty != I_DIRTY_TIME" as the force parameter. This
passes false for pure lazytime updates (allowing the I_VERSION_QUERIED
optimization to work), while still forcing the increment when dirty
contains other flags indicating real changes that require iversion
updates.

"Fix livelocks in shrink_dcache_tree()
If shrink_dcache_tree() finds a dentry in the middle of being killed
by another thread, it has to wait until the victim finishes dying,
gets detached from the tree and ceases to pin its parent.
The way we used to deal with that amounted to busy-wait;

Make buffer heads point to mapping_metadata_bhs instead of struct
address_space. This makes the code more self contained. For the (only)
case of IO error handling where we really need to reach struct
address_space add a pointer to the mapping from mapping_metadata_bhs.

Instead of tracking metadata bhs for a mapping using i_private_list and
i_private_lock create a dedicated mapping_metadata_bhs struct for it.
So far this struct is embedded in address_space but that will be
switched for per-fs private inode parts later in the series. This also
changes the locking from bdev mapping's i_private_lock to a new lock
embedded in mapping_metadata_bhs to untangle the i_private_lock locking
for maintaining lists of metadata bhs and the locking for looking up /
reclaiming bdev's buffer heads. The locking in remove_assoc_map() gets
more complex due to this but overall this looks like a reasonable
tradeoff.

There are only a few filesystems that use generic tracking of inode
metadata buffer heads. As such the logic to reclaim tracked metadata
buffer heads in inode_lru_isolate() doesn't bring a benefit big enough
to justify intertwining of inode reclaim and metadata buffer head
tracking. Just treat tracked metadata buffer heads as any other metadata
filesystem has to properly clean up on inode eviction and stop handling
it in inode_lru_isolate(). As a result filesystems using generic
tracking of metadata buffer heads may now see dirty metadata buffers in
their .evict methods more often which can slow down inode reclaim but
given these filesystems aren't used in performance demanding setups we
should be fine.

On 32-bit architectures, unsigned long is only 32 bits wide, which
causes 64-bit inode numbers to be silently truncated. Several
filesystems (NFS, XFS, BTRFS, etc.) can generate inode numbers that
exceed 32 bits, and this truncation can lead to inode number collisions
and other subtle bugs on 32-bit systems.
Change the type of inode->i_ino from unsigned long to u64 to ensure that
inode numbers are always represented as 64-bit values regardless of
architecture. Update all format specifiers treewide from %lu/%lx to
%llu/%llx to match the new type, along with corresponding local variable
types.
This is the bulk treewide conversion. Earlier patches in this series
handled trace events separately to allow trace field reordering for
better struct packing on 32-bit.

Change the inode hash/lookup VFS API functions to accept u64 parameters
instead of unsigned long for inode numbers and hash values. This is
preparation for widening i_ino itself to u64, which will allow
filesystems to store full 64-bit inode numbers on 32-bit architectures.
Since unsigned long implicitly widens to u64 on all architectures, this
change is backward-compatible with all existing callers.

fixes, documentation, and a deprecation notice.
Scalability and performance:
- Rework pid allocation to only take pidmap_lock once instead of
twice during alloc_pid(), improving thread creation/teardown
throughput by 10-16% depending on false-sharing luck. Pad the
namespace refcount to reduce false-sharing
- Track file lock presence via a flag in ->i_opflags instead of
reading ->i_flctx, avoiding false-sharing with ->i_readcount on
open/close hot paths. Measured 4-16% improvement on 24-core
open-in-a-loop benchmarks
- Use a consume fence in locks_inode_context() to match the
store-release/load-consume idiom, eliminating a hardware fence on
some architectures
- Annotate cdev_lock with __cacheline_aligned_in_smp to prevent
false-sharing
- Remove a redundant DCACHE_MANAGED_DENTRY check in
__follow_mount_rcu() that never fires since the caller already
verifies it, eliminating a 100% mispredicted branch
- Fix a 100% mispredicted likely() in devcgroup_inode_permission()
that became wrong after a prior code reorder
Bug fixes and correctness:
- Make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction instead of
skipping, fixing a corner case where two matching inodes could
exist in the hash
- Move f_mode initialization before file_ref_init() in alloc_file()
to respect the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU ordering contract
- Add a WARN_ON_ONCE guard in try_to_free_buffers() for folios with
no buffers attached, preventing a null pointer dereference when
AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS is set but no release_folio op exists
- Fix select restart_block to store end_time as timespec64, avoiding
truncation of tv_sec on 32-bit architectures
- Make dump_inode() use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode
and superblock fields, matching the dump_mapping() pattern
API modernization:
- Make posix_acl_to_xattr() allocate the buffer internally since
every single caller was doing it anyway. Reduces boilerplate and
unnecessary error checking across ~15 filesystems
- Replace deprecated simple_strtoul() with kstrtoul() for the
ihash_entries, dhash_entries, mhash_entries, and mphash_entries
boot parameters, adding proper error handling
- Convert chardev code to use guard(mutex) and __free(kfree) cleanup
patterns
- Replace min_t() with min() or umin() in VFS code to avoid silently
truncating unsigned long to unsigned int
- Gate LOOKUP_RCU assertions behind CONFIG_DEBUG_VFS since callers
already check the flag
Deprecation:
- Begin deprecating legacy BSD process accounting (acct(2)). The
interface has numerous footguns and better alternatives exist
(eBPF)
Documentation:
- Fix and complete kernel-doc for struct export_operations, removing
duplicated documentation between ReST and source

without blocking are no longer penalized.
With that groundwork in place, the core change passes IOCB_NOWAIT into
->update_time and returns -EAGAIN only when the file system indicates
it would block.

Use get_kernel_nofault() to safely access inode and related structures
(superblock, file_system_type) to avoid crashing when the inode pointer
is invalid. This allows the same pattern as dump_mapping().
Note: The original access method for i_state and i_count is preserved,
as get_kernel_nofault() is unnecessary once the inode structure is

Split all the inode timestamp flags into a helper. This not only
makes the code a bit more readable, but also optimizes away the
further checks as soon as know we need an update.

Currently file_update_time_flags unconditionally returns -EAGAIN if any
timestamp needs to be updated and IOCB_NOWAIT is passed. This makes
non-blocking direct writes impossible on file systems with granular
enough timestamps.
Pass IOCB_NOWAIT to ->update_time and return -EAGAIN if it could block.

Pass the type of update (atime vs c/mtime plus version) as an enum
instead of a set of flags that caused all kinds of confusion.
Because inode_update_timestamps now can't return a modified version
of those flags, return the I_DIRTY_* flags needed to persist the
update, which is what the main caller in generic_update_time wants
anyway, and which is suitable for the other callers that only want
to know if an update happened.
The whole update_time path keeps the flags argument, which will be used
to support non-blocking updates soon even if it is unused, and (the
slightly renamed) inode_update_time also gains the possibility to return
a negative errno to support this.

"Features:
- Hide inode->i_state behind accessors. Open-coded accesses prevent
asserting they are done correctly. One obvious aspect is locking,
but significantly more can be checked. For example it can be
detected when the code is clearing flags which are already missing,
or is setting flags when it is illegal (e.g., I_FREEING when
->i_count > 0)
- Provide accessors for ->i_state, converts all filesystems using
coccinelle and manual conversions (btrfs, ceph, smb, f2fs, gfs2,
overlayfs, nilfs2, xfs), and makes plain ->i_state access fail to
compile
- Rework I_NEW handling to operate without fences, simplifying the
code after the accessor infrastructure is in place
Cleanups:
- Move wait_on_inode() from writeback.h to fs.h
- Spell out fenced ->i_state accesses with explicit smp_wmb/smp_rmb

timestamp update logic, fixing a layering bypass in btrfs when
updating timestamps on device files and improving FMODE_NOCMTIME

- Path lookup optimizations extracting slowpaths into dedicated
routines and adding branch prediction hints for mntput_no_expire(),

- Enable clang's -fms-extensions flag, requiring a JFS rename to
avoid conflicts.
- Remove spurious exports in fs/file_attr.c.
- Stop duplicating union pipe_index declaration. This depends on the
shared kbuild branch that brings in -fms-extensions support which
is merged into this branch.
- Use MD5 library instead of crypto_shash in ecryptfs.

never passed this, leaving btrfs data uncommitted during emergency

FMODE_NOCMTIME used to be just a hack for the legacy XFS handle-based
"invisible I/O", but commit e5e9b24ab8fa ("nfsd: freeze c/mtime updates
with outstanding WRITE_ATTRS delegation") started using it from
generic callers.
I'm not sure other file systems are actually read for this in general,
so the above commit should get a closer look, but for it to make any
sense, file_update_time needs to respect the flag.
Lift the check from file_modified_flags to file_update_time so that
users of file_update_time inherit the behavior and so that all the
checks are done in one place.

Currently the two high-level APIs use two helper functions to implement
almost all of the logic. Refactor the two helpers and the common logic
into a new file_update_time_flags routine that gets the iocb flags or
0 in case of file_update_time passed so that the entire logic is
contained in a single function and can be easily understood and modified.

In the inode hash code grab the state while ->i_lock is held. If found
to be set, synchronize the sleep once more with the lock held.
In the real world the flag is not set most of the time.
Apart from being simpler to reason about, it comes with a minor speed up
as now clearing the flag does not require the smp_mb() fence.
While here rename wait_on_inode() to wait_on_new_inode() to line it up
with __wait_on_freeing_inode().

Suppose there are 2 CPUs racing inode hash lookup func (say ilookup5())
and unlock_new_inode().
In principle the latter can clear the I_NEW flag before prior stores
into the inode were made visible.
The former can in turn observe I_NEW is cleared and proceed to use the
inode, while possibly reading from not-yet-published areas.

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a series I originally wrote and that Eric brought over
the finish line. It moves out the i_crypt_info and i_verity_info
pointers out of 'struct inode' and into the fs-specific part of the
inode.
So now the few filesytems that actually make use of this pay the price
in their own private inode storage instead of forcing it upon every
user of struct inode.
The pointer for the crypt and verity info is simply found by storing
an offset to its address in struct fsverity_operations and struct
fscrypt_operations. This shrinks struct inode by 16 bytes.
I hope to move a lot more out of it in the future so that struct inode
becomes really just about very core stuff that we need, much like
struct dentry and struct file, instead of the dumping ground it has
become over the years.
On top of this are a various changes associated with the ongoing inode
lifetime handling rework that multiple people are pushing forward:
- Stop accessing inode->i_count directly in f2fs and gfs2. They
simply should use the __iget() and iput() helpers
- Make the i_state flags an enum
- Rework the iput() logic
Currently, if we are the last iput, and we have the I_DIRTY_TIME
bit set, we will grab a reference on the inode again and then mark
it dirty and then redo the put. This is to make sure we delay the
time update for as long as possible
We can rework this logic to simply dec i_count if it is not 1, and
if it is do the time update while still holding the i_count
reference
Then we can replace the atomic_dec_and_lock with locking the
->i_lock and doing atomic_dec_and_test, since we did the
atomic_add_unless above
- Add an icount_read() helper and convert everyone that accesses
inode->i_count directly for this purpose to use the helper
- Expand dump_inode() to dump more information about an inode helping
in debugging
- Add some might_sleep() annotations to iput() and associated
helpers"

When iput() drops the reference counter to zero, it may sleep via
inode_wait_for_writeback(). This happens rarely because it's usually
the dcache which evicts inodes, but really iput() should only ever be
called in contexts where sleeping is allowed. This annotation allows
finding buggy callers.
Additionally, this patch annotates a few low-level functions that can
call iput() conditionally.

generic_delete_inode() is rather misleading for what the routine is
