Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Last cycle we introduce f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm:
  introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback").

  This is preferred to the existing f_op-&gt;mmap() hook as it does require
  a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke
  this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual
  address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations.

  This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a
  single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly
  reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state.

  Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of
  incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been
  the cause of bugs and complexity in the past.

  The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op-&gt;mmap, and in that vein this
  series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare.

  Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap
  capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than
  directly checking for f_op-&gt;mmap (which is now not a valid check) and
  secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA
  parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted.

  Commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for
  nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file
  systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow
  f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op-&gt;mmap() callback.

  This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly
  with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we
  finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed.

  As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they
  can nest all other file systems.

  We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to
  remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later
  series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping
  insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs,
  syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.
  We shall return to all of these later"

<content type='text'>
Update nearly all generic_file_mmap() and generic_file_readonly_mmap()
callers to use generic_file_mmap_prepare() and
generic_file_readonly_mmap_prepare() respectively.

We update blkdev, 9p, afs, erofs, ext2, nfs, ntfs3, smb, ubifs and vboxsf
file systems this way.

Remaining users we cannot yet update are ecryptfs, fuse and cramfs. The
former two are nested file systems that must support any underlying file
ssytem, and cramfs inserts a mixed mapping which currently requires a VMA.

Once all file systems have been converted to mmap_prepare(), we can then
update nested file systems.

<id>urn:sha1:951ea2f4844c22833f8c3201103c7ed817e7e377</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file
callback"), the f_op-&gt;mmap() hook has been deprecated in favour of
f_op-&gt;mmap_prepare().

We have provided generic .mmap_prepare() equivalents, so update all file
systems that specify these directly in their file_operations structures.

This updates 9p, adfs, affs, bfs, fat, hfs, hfsplus, hostfs, hpfs, jffs2,
jfs, minix, omfs, ramfs and ufs file systems directly.

It updates generic_ro_fops which impacts qnx4, cramfs, befs, squashfs,
frebxfs, qnx6, efs, romfs, erofs and isofs file systems.

There are remaining file systems which use generic hooks in a less direct
way which we address in a subsequent commit.

<content type='text'>
On cifs, "DIO reads" (specified by O_DIRECT) need to be differentiated from
"unbuffered reads" (specified by cache=none in the mount parameters).  The
difference is flagged in the protocol and the server may behave
differently: Windows Server will, for example, mandate that DIO reads are
block aligned.

Fix this by adding a NETFS_UNBUFFERED_READ to differentiate this from
NETFS_DIO_READ, parallelling the write differentiation that already exists.
cifs will then do the right thing.

<id>urn:sha1:20d72b00ca814d748f5663484e5c53bb2bf37a3a</id>
<content type='text'>
When the netfs_io_request struct's work item is queued, it must be supplied
with a ref to the work item struct to prevent it being deallocated whilst
on the queue or whilst it is being processed.  This is tricky to manage as
we have to get a ref before we try and queue it and then we may find it's
already queued and is thus already holding a ref - in which case we have to
try and get rid of the ref again.

The problem comes if we're in BH or IRQ context and need to drop the ref:
if netfs_put_request() reduces the count to 0, we have to do the cleanup -
but the cleanup may need to wait.

Fix this by adding a new work item to the request, -&gt;cleanup_work, and
dispatching that when the refcount hits zero.  That can then synchronously
cancel any outstanding work on the main work item before doing the cleanup.

Adding a new work item also deals with another problem upstream where it's
sometimes changing the work func in the put function and requeuing it -
which has occasionally in the past caused the cleanup to happen
incorrectly.

As a bonus, this allows us to get rid of the 'was_async' parameter from a
bunch of functions.  This indicated whether the put function might not be
permitted to sleep.

The migration code used to be able to migrate dirty 9p folios by writing
them back using writepage.  When the writepage method was removed,
we neglected to add a migrate_folio method, which means that dirty 9p
folios have been unmovable ever since.  This reduced our success at
defragmenting memory on machines which use 9p heavily.
