Merge tag 'vfs-6.14-rc1.libfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs libfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This improves the stable directory offset behavior in various ways.

  Stable offsets are needed so that NFS can reliably read directories on
  filesystems such as tmpfs:

   - Improve the end-of-directory detection

     According to getdents(3), the d_off field in each returned
     directory entry points to the next entry in the directory. The
     d_off field in the last returned entry in the readdir buffer must
     contain a valid offset value, but if it points to an actual
     directory entry, then readdir/getdents can loop.

     Introduce a specific fixed offset value that is placed in the d_off
     field of the last entry in a directory. Some user space
     applications assume that the EOD offset value is larger than the
     offsets of real directory entries, so the largest valid offset
     value is reserved for this purpose. This new value is never
     allocated by simple_offset_add().

     When ->iterate_dir() returns, getdents{64} inserts the ctx->pos
     value into the d_off field of the last valid entry in the readdir
     buffer. When it hits EOD, offset_readdir() sets ctx->pos to the EOD
     offset value so the last entry is updated to point to the EOD
     marker.

     When trying to read the entry at the EOD offset, offset_readdir()
     terminates immediately.

   - Rely on d_children to iterate stable offset directories

     Instead of using the mtree to emit entries in the order of their
     offset values, use it only to map incoming ctx->pos to a starting
     entry. Then use the directory's d_children list, which is already
     maintained properly by the dcache, to find the next child to emit.

   - Narrow the range of directory offset values returned by
     simple_offset_add() to 3 .. (S32_MAX - 1) on all platforms. This
     means the allocation behavior is identical on 32-bit systems,
     64-bit systems, and 32-bit user space on 64-bit kernels. The new
     range still permits over 2 billion concurrent entries per
     directory.

   - Return ENOSPC when the directory offset range is exhausted. Hitting
     this error is almost impossible though.

   - Remove the simple_offset_empty() helper"

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.
