Merge tag 'vfs-6.13.tmpfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull tmpfs case folding updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds case-insensitive support for tmpfs.
The work contained in here adds support for case-insensitive file
names lookups in tmpfs. The main difference from other casefold
filesystems is that tmpfs has no information on disk, just on RAM, so
we can't use mkfs to create a case-insensitive tmpfs. For this
implementation, there's a mount option for casefolding. The rest of
the patchset follows a similar approach as ext4 and f2fs.
The use case for this feature is similar to the use case for ext4, to
better support compatibility layers (like Wine), particularly in
combination with sandboxing/container tools (like Flatpak).
Those containerization tools can share a subset of the host filesystem
with an application. In the container, the root directory and any
parent directories required for a shared directory are on tmpfs, with
the shared directories bind-mounted into the container's view of the
filesystem.
If the host filesystem is using case-insensitive directories, then the
application can do lookups inside those directories in a
case-insensitive way, without this needing to be implemented in
user-space. However, if the host is only sharing a subset of a
case-insensitive directory with the application, then the parent
directories of the mount point will be part of the container's root
tmpfs. When the application tries to do case-insensitive lookups of
those parent directories on a case-sensitive tmpfs, the lookup will
fail"
