Merge tag 'vfs-6.13.exportfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs exportfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains work to bring NFS connectable file handles to userspace servers. The name_to_handle_at() system call is extended to encode connectable file handles. Such file handles can be resolved to an open file with a connected path. So far userspace NFS servers couldn't make use of this functionality even though the kernel does already support it. This is achieved by introducing a new flag for name_to_handle_at(). Similarly, the open_by_handle_at() system call is tought to understand connectable file handles explicitly created via name_to_handle_at()" * tag 'vfs-6.13.exportfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: open_by_handle_at() support for decoding "explicit connectable" file handles fs: name_to_handle_at() support for "explicit connectable" file handles fs: prepare for "explicit connectable" file handles
