Merge tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Features:

   - Cheaper MAY_EXEC handling for path lookup. This elides MAY_WRITE
     permission checks during path lookup and adds the
     IOP_FASTPERM_MAY_EXEC flag so filesystems like btrfs can avoid
     expensive permission work.

   - Hide dentry_cache behind runtime const machinery.

   - Add German Maglione as virtiofs co-maintainer.

  Cleanups:

   - Tidy up and inline step_into() and walk_component() for improved
     code generation.

   - Re-enable IOCB_NOWAIT writes to files. This refactors file
     timestamp update logic, fixing a layering bypass in btrfs when
     updating timestamps on device files and improving FMODE_NOCMTIME
     handling in VFS now that nfsd started using it.

   - Path lookup optimizations extracting slowpaths into dedicated
     routines and adding branch prediction hints for mntput_no_expire(),
     fd_install(), lookup_slow(), and various other hot paths.

   - Enable clang's -fms-extensions flag, requiring a JFS rename to
     avoid conflicts.

   - Remove spurious exports in fs/file_attr.c.

   - Stop duplicating union pipe_index declaration. This depends on the
     shared kbuild branch that brings in -fms-extensions support which
     is merged into this branch.

   - Use MD5 library instead of crypto_shash in ecryptfs.

   - Use largest_zero_folio() in iomap_dio_zero().

   - Replace simple_strtol/strtoul with kstrtoint/kstrtouint in init and
     initrd code.

   - Various typo fixes.

  Fixes:

   - Fix emergency sync for btrfs. Btrfs requires an explicit sync_fs()
     call with wait == 1 to commit super blocks. The emergency sync path
     never passed this, leaving btrfs data uncommitted during emergency
     sync.

   - Use local kmap in watch_queue's post_one_notification().

   - Add hint prints in sb_set_blocksize() for LBS dependency on THP"
