Hi Christian,
Here are some miscellaneous fixes for netfslib. I separated them from my
netfs-next branch. Various Sashiko review comments[1][2] are addressed:
(1) Fix the decision whether to disallow write-streaming due to fscache
use.
(2) Fix a double fput in cachefiles_create_tmpfile().
(3) Fix alteration of S_KERNEL_FILE inode flag without holding inode lock.
(4) Fix a potential mathematical underflow in
iov_iter_extract_xarray_pages() and make it return 0 and free the
array if no pages could be extracted.
(5) Fix a missing alloc failure check in iov_iter_extract_bvec_pages().
(6) Fix iov_iter_extract_user_pages() so that it doesn't leak the pages
array if it returns an error or 0 (inasmuch as the leak is really in
the callers).
(7) Remove an unused variable in kunit_iov_iter.c.
(8) Fix extract_xarray_to_sg() to calculate folio offset correctly.
(9) Fix a kdoc comment.
(10) Replace the netfs_inode::wb_lock mutex with a bit lock so that the
lock can be passed to the collector so that multiple asynchronous
writebacks won't interfere with each other.

Changes
=======
ver #1)
- Added a fix for S_KERNEL_FILE in cachefiles_bury_object().
- Fixed how iov_iter_extract_*_pages() deals with *pages when returning 0
or error.
- Fixed the replacement of wb_lock with bit lock:
- Only release the bit lock for writeback, writethrough and write-single,
not for PG_private_2-based I/O, which doesn't take the lock.
- In netfs_writeback_single(), need to redirty the inode if can't get the
lock.
