Merge tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.super' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull superblock callback update from Christian Brauner:
"Currently all filesystems which implement super_operations::shutdown()
can not afford losing a device.
Thus fs_bdev_mark_dead() will just call the ->shutdown() callback for
the involved filesystem.
But it will no longer be the case, as multi-device filesystems like
btrfs can handle certain device loss without the need to shutdown the
whole filesystem.
To allow those multi-device filesystems to be integrated to use
fs_holder_ops:
- Add a new super_operations::remove_bdev() callback
- Try ->remove_bdev() callback first inside fs_bdev_mark_dead().
If the callback returned 0, meaning the fs can handling the device
loss, then exit without doing anything else.
If there is no such callback or the callback returned non-zero
value, continue to shutdown the filesystem as usual.
This means the new remove_bdev() should only do the check on whether
the operation can continue, and if so do the fs specific handlings.
The shutdown handling should still be handled by the existing
->shutdown() callback.
For all existing filesystems with shutdown callback, there is no
change to the code nor behavior.
Btrfs is going to implement both the ->remove_bdev() and ->shutdown()
callbacks soon"

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
