Merge tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains some work around mount api handling: - Output the warning message for mnt_too_revealing() triggered during fsmount() to the fscontext log. This makes it possible for the mount tool to output appropriate warnings on the command line. For example, with the newest fsopen()-based mount(8) from util-linux, the error messages now look like: # mount -t proc proc /tmp mount: /tmp: fsmount() failed: VFS: Mount too revealing. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. - Do not consume fscontext log entries when returning -EMSGSIZE Userspace generally expects APIs that return -EMSGSIZE to allow for them to adjust their buffer size and retry the operation. However, the fscontext log would previously clear the message even in the -EMSGSIZE case. Given that it is very cheap for us to check whether the buffer is too small before we remove the message from the ring buffer, let's just do that instead. - Drop an unused argument from do_remount()" * tag 'vfs-6.18-rc1.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: vfs: fs/namespace.c: remove ms_flags argument from do_remount selftests/filesystems: add basic fscontext log tests fscontext: do not consume log entries when returning -EMSGSIZE vfs: output mount_too_revealing() errors to fscontext docs/vfs: Remove mentions to the old mount API helpers fscontext: add custom-prefix log helpers fs: Remove mount_bdev fs: Remove mount_nodev

super_operations" which describes the next level of the filesystem
implementation.
-Usually, a filesystem uses one of the generic mount() implementations
-and provides a fill_super() callback instead. The generic variants are:
-
-``mount_bdev``
- mount a filesystem residing on a block device
-
-``mount_nodev``
- mount a filesystem that is not backed by a device
-
-``mount_single``
- mount a filesystem which shares the instance between all mounts
-
-A fill_super() callback implementation has the following arguments:
-
-``struct super_block *sb``
- the superblock structure. The callback must initialize this
- properly.
-
-``void *data``
- arbitrary mount options, usually comes as an ASCII string (see
- "Mount Options" section)
-
-``int silent``
- whether or not to be silent on error
