Pull copy_struct_from_user() helper from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the copy_struct_from_user() helper which got split out
  from the openat2() patchset. It is a generic interface designed to
  copy a struct from userspace.

  The helper will be especially useful for structs versioned by size of
  which we have quite a few. This allows for backwards compatibility,
  i.e. an extended struct can be passed to an older kernel, or a legacy
  struct can be passed to a newer kernel. For the first case (extended
  struct, older kernel) the new fields in an extended struct can be set
  to zero and the struct safely passed to an older kernel.

  The most obvious benefit is that this helper lets us get rid of
  duplicate code present in at least sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(),
  and clone3(). More importantly it will also help to ensure that users
  implementing versioning-by-size end up with the same core semantics.

  This point is especially crucial since we have at least one case where
  versioning-by-size is used but with slighly different semantics:
  sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(), and clone3() all do do similar
  checks to copy_struct_from_user() while rt_sigprocmask(2) always
  rejects differently-sized struct arguments.

  With this pull request we also switch over sched_setattr(),
  perf_event_open(), and clone3() to use the new helper"

 "This contains a couple of fixes:

   - Fix compilation for glibc on RISC-V systems (Seth Forshee)

     In some scenarios linux/uapi/linux/sched.h is included where
     __ASSEMBLY__ is defined causing a build failure because struct
     clone_args was not guarded by an #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__.

   - Add missing clone3() and struct clone_args kernel-doc (Christian Brauner)

     clone3() and struct clone_args were missing kernel-docs. (The goal
     is to use kernel-doc for any function or type where it's worth it.)
     For struct clone_args this also contains a comment about the fact
     that it's versioned by size"

<content type='text'>
Switch clone3() syscall from it's own copying struct clone_args from
userspace to the new dedicated copy_struct_from_user() helper.

The change is very straightforward, and helps unify the syscall
interface for struct-from-userspace syscalls. Additionally, explicitly
define CLONE_ARGS_SIZE_VER0 to match the other users of the
struct-extension pattern.

The addition of struct clone_args to uapi/linux/sched.h is not protected
by __ASSEMBLY__ guards, causing a failure to build from source for glibc
on RISC-V. Add the guards to fix this.

Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
 "Highlights:

   - Add a new knfsd file cache, so that we don't have to open and close
     on each (NFSv2/v3) READ or WRITE. This can speed up read and write
     in some cases. It also replaces our readahead cache.

   - Prevent silent data loss on write errors, by treating write errors
     like server reboots for the purposes of write caching, thus forcing
     clients to resend their writes.

   - Tweak the code that allocates sessions to be more forgiving, so
     that NFSv4.1 mounts are less likely to hang when a server already
     has a lot of clients.

   - Eliminate an arbitrary limit on NFSv4 ACL sizes; they should now be
     limited only by the backend filesystem and the maximum RPC size.

   - Allow the server to enforce use of the correct kerberos credentials
     when a client reclaims state after a reboot.

  And some miscellaneous smaller bugfixes and cleanup"

Pull fuse virtio-fs support from Miklos Szeredi:
 "Virtio-fs allows exporting directory trees on the host and mounting
  them in guest(s).

  This isn't actually a new filesystem, but a glue layer between the
  fuse filesystem and a virtio based back-end.

  It's similar in functionality to the existing virtio-9p solution, but
  significantly faster in benchmarks and has better POSIX compliance.
  Further permformance improvements can be achieved by sharing the page
  cache between host and guest, allowing for faster I/O and reduced
  memory use.

  Kata Containers have been including the out-of-tree virtio-fs (with
  the shared page cache patches as well) since version 1.7 as an
  experimental feature. They have been active in development and plan to
  switch from virtio-9p to virtio-fs as their default solution. There
  has been interest from other sources as well.

  The userspace infrastructure is slated to be merged into qemu once the
  kernel part hits mainline.

  This was developed by Vivek Goyal, Dave Gilbert and Stefan Hajnoczi"
