       "Some more mostly boring fixes, but some not
      
        User reported ones:
      
         - the BTREE_ITER_FILTER_SNAPSHOTS one fixes a really nasty
           performance bug; user reported an untar initially taking two
           seconds and then ~2 minutes
      
         - kill a __GFP_NOFAIL in the buffered read path; this was a leftover
           from the trickier fix to kill __GFP_NOFAIL in readahead, where we
           can't return errors (and have to silently truncate the read
           ourselves).
      
           bcachefs can't use GFP_NOFAIL for folio state unlike iomap based
           filesystems because our folio state is just barely too big, 2MB
           hugepages cause us to exceed the 2 page threshhold for GFP_NOFAIL.
      
           additionally, the flags argument was just buggy, we weren't
           supplying GFP_KERNEL previously (!)"

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull RCU pathwalk fixes from Al Viro:
       "We still have some races in filesystem methods when exposed to RCU
        pathwalk. This series is a result of code audit (the second round of
        it) and it should deal with most of that stuff.
      
        Still pending: ntfs3 ->d_hash()/->d_compare() and ceph_d_revalidate().
        Up to maintainers (a note for NTFS folks - when documentation says
        that a method may not block, it *does* imply that blocking allocations
        are to be avoided. Really)"
      
      [ More explanations for people who aren't familiar with the vagaries of
        RCU path walking: most of it is hidden from filesystems, but if a
        filesystem actively participates in the low-level path walking it
        needs to make sure the fields involved in that walk are RCU-safe.
      
        That "actively participate in low-level path walking" includes things
        like having its own ->d_hash()/->d_compare() routines, or by having
        its own directory permission function that doesn't just use the common
        helpers.  Having a ->d_revalidate() function will also have this issue.
      
        Note that instead of making everything RCU safe you can also choose to
        abort the RCU pathwalk if your operation cannot be done safely under
        RCU, but that obviously comes with a performance penalty. One common
        pattern is to allow the simple cases under RCU, and abort only if you
        need to do something more complicated.
      
        So not everything needs to be RCU-safe, and things like the inode etc
        that the VFS itself maintains obviously already are. But these fixes
        tend to be about properly RCU-delaying things like ->s_fs_info that
        are maintained by the filesystem and that got potentially released too
        early.   - Linus ]
