Pull vfs freezing updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains various filesystem freezing related work for this cycle: - Allow the power subsystem to support filesystem freeze for suspend and hibernate. Now all the pieces are in place to actually allow the power subsystem to freeze/thaw filesystems during suspend/resume. Filesystems are only frozen and thawed if the power subsystem does actually own the freeze. If the filesystem is already frozen by the time we've frozen all userspace processes we don't care to freeze it again. That's userspace's job once the process resumes. We only actually freeze filesystems if we absolutely have to and we ignore other failures to freeze. We could bubble up errors and fail suspend/resume if the error isn't EBUSY (aka it's already frozen) but I don't think that this is worth it. Filesystem freezing during suspend/resume is best-effort. If the user has 500 ext4 filesystems mounted and 4 fail to freeze for whatever reason then we simply skip them. What we have now is already a big improvement and let's see how we fare with it before making our lives even harder (and uglier) than we have to. - Allow efivars to support freeze and thaw Allow efivarfs to partake to resync variable state during system hibernation and suspend. Add freeze/thaw support. This is a pretty straightforward implementation. We simply add regular freeze/thaw support for both userspace and the kernel. efivars is the first pseudofilesystem that adds support for filesystem freezing and thawing. The simplicity comes from the fact that we simply always resync variable state after efivarfs has been frozen. It doesn't matter whether that's because of suspend, userspace initiated freeze or hibernation. Efivars is simple enough that it doesn't matter that we walk all dentries. There are no directories and there aren't insane amounts of entries and both freeze/thaw are already heavy-handed operations. If userspace initiated a freeze/thaw cycle they would need CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the initial user namespace (as that's where efivarfs is mounted) so it can't be triggered by random userspace. IOW, we really really don't care" * tag 'vfs-6.16-rc1.super' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: f2fs: fix freezing filesystem during resize kernfs: add warning about implementing freeze/thaw efivarfs: support freeze/thaw power: freeze filesystems during suspend/resume libfs: export find_next_child() super: add filesystem freezing helpers for suspend and hibernate gfs2: pass through holder from the VFS for freeze/thaw super: use common iterator (Part 2) super: use a common iterator (Part 1) super: skip dying superblocks early super: simplify user_get_super() super: remove pointless s_root checks fs: allow all writers to be frozen locking/percpu-rwsem: add freezable alternative to down_read
