Current _ext4_show_options() do not distinguish MOPT_2 flag, so it mixed
extend sbi-&gt;s_mount_opt2 options with sbi-&gt;s_mount_opt, it could lead to
show incorrect options, e.g. show fc_debug_force if we mount with
errors=continue mode and miss it if we set.

  $ mkfs.ext4 /dev/pmem0
  $ mount -o errors=remount-ro /dev/pmem0 /mnt
  $ cat /proc/fs/ext4/pmem0/options | grep fc_debug_force
    #empty
  $ mount -o remount,errors=continue /mnt
  $ cat /proc/fs/ext4/pmem0/options | grep fc_debug_force
    fc_debug_force
  $ mount -o remount,errors=remount-ro,fc_debug_force /mnt
  $ cat /proc/fs/ext4/pmem0/options | grep fc_debug_force
    #empty

When we are renaming a directory to a different directory, we need to
update '..' entry in the moved directory. However nothing prevents moved
directory from being modified and even converted from the inline format
to the normal format. When such race happens the rename code gets
confused and we crash. Fix the problem by locking the moved directory.

<title>ext4: init error handle resource before init group descriptors</title>

Now, 's_err_report' timer is init after ext4_group_desc_init() when fill
super. Theoretically, ext4_group_desc_init() may access to error handle
as follows:
__ext4_fill_super
  ext4_group_desc_init
    ext4_check_descriptors
      ext4_get_group_desc
        ext4_error
          ext4_handle_error
            ext4_commit_super
              ext4_update_super
                if (!es-&gt;s_error_count)
                  mod_timer(&amp;sbi-&gt;s_err_report, jiffies + 24*60*60*HZ);
		  --&gt; Accessing Uninitialized Variables
timer_setup(&amp;sbi-&gt;s_err_report, print_daily_error_info, 0);

Maybe above issue is just theoretical, as ext4_check_descriptors() didn't
judge 'gpd' which get from ext4_get_group_desc(), if access to error handle
ext4_get_group_desc() will return NULL, then will trigger null-ptr-deref in
ext4_check_descriptors().
However, from the perspective of pure code, it is better to initialize
resource that may need to be used first.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Daniel Verkamp has contributed a memfd series ("mm/memfd: add
   F_SEAL_EXEC") which permits the setting of the memfd execute bit at
   memfd creation time, with the option of sealing the state of the X
   bit.

 - Peter Xu adds a patch series ("mm/hugetlb: Make huge_pte_offset()
   thread-safe for pmd unshare") which addresses a rare race condition
   related to PMD unsharing.

   actions. SeongJae has also done some DAMON cleanup work.

 - Kairui Song adds a series ("Clean up and fixes for swap").

 - Vernon Yang contributed the series "Clean up and refinement for maple
   tree".

   his series "zsmalloc: make zspage chain size configurable".

 - Joey Gouly has added prctl() support for prohibiting the creation of
   writeable+executable mappings.

   The previous BPF-based approach had shortcomings. See "mm: In-kernel
   support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)".

 - Waiman Long did some kmemleak cleanup and bugfixing in the series
   "mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() &amp; fix UAF".

 - T.J. Alumbaugh has contributed some MGLRU cleanup work in his series
   "mm: multi-gen LRU: improve".

   statistics reporting, mainly by presenting the statistics on a
   per-node basis. See the series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error
   statistics".

 - Mel Gorman has a second and hopefully final shot at fixing a CPU-hog
   regression in compaction via his series "Fix excessive CPU usage
   during compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig does some vmalloc maintenance work in the series
   "cleanup vfree and vunmap".

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed block_device_operations.rw_page() in

   /proc/kcore better represent the real state of things in his series
   "mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas".

 - Jason Gunthorpe rationalized the GUP system's interface to the rest
   of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
   GUP".

 - SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
   over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
   printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
   series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

 - Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
   and clean-ups" series.

 - Huang Ying has provided a dramatic reduction in migration's TLB flush
   IPI rates with the series "migrate_pages(): batch TLB flushing".

Pull fsverity updates from Eric Biggers:
 "Fix the longstanding implementation limitation that fsverity was only
  supported when the Merkle tree block size, filesystem block size, and
  PAGE_SIZE were all equal.

  Specifically, add support for Merkle tree block sizes less than
  PAGE_SIZE, and make ext4 support fsverity on filesystems where the
  filesystem block size is less than PAGE_SIZE.

  Effectively, this means that fsverity can now be used on systems with
  non-4K pages, at least on ext4. These changes have been tested using
  the verity group of xfstests, newly updated to cover the new code
  paths.

  Also update fs/verity/ to support verifying data from large folios.

  There's also a similar patch for fs/crypto/, to support decrypting
  data from large folios, which I'm including in here to avoid a merge
  conflict between the fscrypt and fsverity branches"

Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
   mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs:
   introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
   cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
   struct mnt_idmap.

   Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached
   to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy
   to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with
   namespaces that are relevant on the mount level. Especially for
   non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
   potential source for bugs.

   This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
   around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
   mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.

   Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
   low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
   two namespace arguments.

   Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
   complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
   makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
   filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
   distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.

   Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
   separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
   mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
   That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
   oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.

   We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
   example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
   don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
   the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
   requirements.

   In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
   makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
   implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.

 - Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.

   A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
   create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
   tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
   some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
   to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.

   However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
   priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
   up.

   As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
   done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
   we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
   testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
   xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
   additional tests.
