Merge tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull misc VFS updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.

  Features:

   - Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support

     This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and
     write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
     argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate
     to the filesystem's buffered I/O path.

     Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag
     and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.

     Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to
     bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of
     directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb.
     Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with
     kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.

  Cleanups:

   - don't duplicate vfs_open() in kernel_file_open()

   - proc_fd_getattr(): don't bother with S_ISDIR() check

   - fs/ecryptfs: replace snprintf with sysfs_emit in show function

   - vfs: Remove unnecessary list_for_each_entry_safe() from
     evict_inodes()

   - filelock: add new locks_wake_up_waiter() helper

   - fs: Remove three arguments from block_write_end()

   - VFS: change old_dir and new_dir in struct renamedata to dentrys

   - netfs: Remove unused declaration netfs_queue_write_request()

  Fixes:

   - eventpoll: Fix semi-unbounded recursion

   - eventpoll: fix sphinx documentation build warning

   - fs/read_write: Fix spelling typo

   - fs: annotate data race between poll_schedule_timeout() and
     pollwake()

   - fs/pipe: set FMODE_NOWAIT in create_pipe_files()

   - docs/vfs: update references to i_mutex to i_rwsem

   - fs/buffer: remove comment about hard sectorsize

   - fs/buffer: remove the min and max limit checks in __getblk_slow()

   - fs/libfs: don't assume blocksize <= PAGE_SIZE in
     generic_check_addressable

   - fs_context: fix parameter name in infofc() macro

   - fs: Prevent file descriptor table allocations exceeding INT_MAX"
