The dynamic allocation was problematic for ext4-on-iomap work (didn't handle allocation failure properly) and triggered lockdep complaints. Uses a flag instead to control batch usage - Re-add #ifdef guards around PIDFD_GET_<ns-type>_NAMESPACE ioctls. When a namespace type is disabled, ns->ops is NULL, causes crashes during inode eviction when closing the fd. The ifdefs were removed in a recent simplification but are still needed - Fixe a race where a folio could be unlocked before the trailing zeros (for EOF within the page) were written - Split out a dedicated lease_dispose_list() helper since lease code paths always know they're disposing of leases. Removes unnecessary runtime flag checks and prepares for upcoming lease_manager enhancements - Fix userland delegation requests succeeding despite conflicting opens. Previously, FL_LAYOUT and FL_DELEG leases bypassed conflict checks (a hack for nfsd). Adds new ->lm_open_conflict() lease_manager operation so userland delegations get proper conflict checking while nfsd can continue its own conflict handling - Fix LOOKUP_CACHED path lookups incorrectly falling through to the slow path. After legitimize_links() calls were conditionally elided, the routine would always fail with LOOKUP_CACHED regardless of whether there were any links. Now the flag is checked at the two callsites before calling legitimize_links() - Fix bug in media fd allocation in media_request_alloc() - Fix mismatched API calls in ecryptfs_mknod(): was calling end_removing() instead of end_creating() after ecryptfs_start_creating_dentry() - Fix dentry reference count leak in ecryptfs_mkdir(): a dget() of the lower parent dir was added but never dput()'d, causing BUG during lower filesystem unmount due to the still-in-use dentry * tag 'vfs-6.19-rc5.fixes' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: pidfs: protect PIDFD_GET_* ioctls() via ifdef ecryptfs: Release lower parent dentry after creating dir ecryptfs: Fix improper mknod pairing of start_creating()/end_removing() get rid of bogus __user in struct xattr_args::value VFS: fix __start_dirop() kernel-doc warnings fs: Describe @isnew parameter in ilookup5_nowait() fs: make sure to fail try_to_unlazy() and try_to_unlazy() for LOOKUP_CACHED netfs: Fix early read unlock of page with EOF in middle filelock: allow lease_managers to dictate what qualifies as a conflict filelock: add lease_dispose_list() helper iomap: replace folio_batch allocation with stack allocation media: mc: fix potential use-after-free in media_request_alloc()
