Pull misc VFS updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle. Features: - Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate to the filesystem's buffered I/O path. Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag. Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb. Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation. Cleanups: - don't duplicate vfs_open() in kernel_file_open() - proc_fd_getattr(): don't bother with S_ISDIR() check - fs/ecryptfs: replace snprintf with sysfs_emit in show function - vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() from evict_inodes() - filelock: add new locks_wake_up_waiter() helper - fs: Remove three arguments from block_write_end() - VFS: change old_dir and new_dir in struct renamedata to dentrys - netfs: Remove unused declaration netfs_queue_write_request() Fixes: - eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion - eventpoll: fix sphinx documentation build warning - fs/read_write: Fix spelling typo - fs: annotate data race between poll_schedule_timeout() and pollwake() - fs/pipe: set FMODE_NOWAIT in create_pipe_files() - docs/vfs: update references to i_mutex to i_rwsem - fs/buffer: remove comment about hard sectorsize - fs/buffer: remove the min and max limit checks in __getblk_slow() - fs/libfs: don't assume blocksize <= PAGE_SIZE in generic_check_addressable - fs_context: fix parameter name in infofc() macro - fs: Prevent file descriptor table allocations exceeding INT_MAX" * tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (24 commits) netfs: Remove unused declaration netfs_queue_write_request() eventpoll: fix sphinx documentation build warning ext4: support uncached buffered I/O mm/pagemap: add write_begin_get_folio() helper function fs: change write_begin/write_end interface to take struct kiocb * drm/i915: Refactor shmem_pwrite() to use kiocb and write_iter drm/i915: Use kernel_write() in shmem object create eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() from evict_inodes() fs/libfs: don't assume blocksize <= PAGE_SIZE in generic_check_addressable fs/buffer: remove the min and max limit checks in __getblk_slow() fs: Prevent file descriptor table allocations exceeding INT_MAX fs: Remove three arguments from block_write_end() fs/ecryptfs: replace snprintf with sysfs_emit in show function fs: annotate suspected data race between poll_schedule_timeout() and pollwake() docs/vfs: update references to i_mutex to i_rwsem fs/buffer: remove comment about hard sectorsize fs_context: fix parameter name in infofc() macro VFS: change old_dir and new_dir in struct renamedata to dentrys proc_fd_getattr(): don't bother with S_ISDIR() check ...
