Merge tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.xattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull simple_xattr updates from Christian Brauner: "This reworks the simple xattr api to make it more efficient and easier to use for all consumers. The simple_xattr hash table moves from the inode into a per-superblock cache, removing the per-inode overhead for the common case of few or no xattrs. The interface now passes struct simple_xattrs ** so lazy allocation is handled internally instead of by every caller, kernfs xattr operations on kernfs nodes shared between multiple superblocks are properly serialized, and tmpfs constructs "security.foo" xattr names with kasprintf() instead of kmalloc() plus two memcpy()s. A follow-up fix links kernfs nodes to their parent before the LSM init hook runs: with the per-sb cache kernfs_xattr_set() computes the cache via kernfs_root(kn), which faulted on a freshly allocated node when selinux_kernfs_init_security() called into it - reproducible as a NULL pointer dereference on the first cgroup mkdir on SELinux-enabled systems. On top of this bpffs gains support for trusted.* and security.* xattrs so that user space and BPF LSM programs can attach metadata - for example a content hash or a security label - to pinned objects and directories and inspect it uniformly like on other filesystems. The store is in-memory and non-persistent, living only for the lifetime of the mount like everything else in bpffs" * tag 'vfs-7.2-rc1.xattr' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: bpf: Add simple xattr support to bpffs kernfs: link kn to its parent before the LSM init hook simpe_xattr: use per-sb cache simple_xattr: change interface to pass struct simple_xattrs ** tmpfs: simplify constructing "security.foo" xattr names kernfs: fix xattr race condition with multiple superblocks
