Merge tag 'vfs-7.3-rc1.sync' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs writeback updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This makes sync_inode_metadata() and writeback_single_inode() persist
  not only the inode but all metadata associated with it.

  A new .sync_inode_metadata superblock operation is called from
  __writeback_single_inode(). Alongside it a new I_METADATA_WRITEBACK
  state flag is added.

  Filesystems no longer need their own mmb_fsync() implementations and
  can just use simple_fsync(). All metadata is now written for IS_SYNC
  and IS_DIRSYNC inodes. Races where several fsyncs raced and mmb_sync()
  could return before all buffers were really persisted are fixed since
  I_SYNC now serializes properly.

  The I_METADATA_WRITEBACK scheme also fixes the case where a
  WB_SYNC_NONE writeback landing between write(2) and fsync(2) left
  fsync(2) failing to persist the inode. That problem is not specific to
  filesystems using the generic metadata bh tracking, and the ones that
  do not are left alone.

  ext2, udf, bfs, minix, fat and ext4 in nojournal mode have their data
  integrity writeout fixed and are converted. affs drops metadata bh
  tracking and mmb_fsync() is removed.

  A few other fixes came out of this:

   - a UAF in mark_buffer_write_io_error()

   - missed inode writeback when racing with __writeback_single_inode()

   - ext4 allocating the mapping_metadata_bhs struct on demand

   - three fat fixes: a lost inode update in do_msdos_rename() with
     DIRSYNC, inode buffer write errors not propagating out of
     fat_sync_inode_metadata() and directory entries not being
     persisted on fsync(2) of the root directory"
