Merge tag 'vfs-6.7.fsid' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs fanotify fsid updates from Christian Brauner:
"This work is part of the plan to enable fanotify to serve as a drop-in
replacement for inotify. While inotify is availabe on all filesystems,
fanotify currently isn't.
In order to support fanotify on all filesystems two things are needed:
(1) all filesystems need to support AT_HANDLE_FID
(2) all filesystems need to report a non-zero f_fsid
This contains (1) and allows filesystems to encode non-decodable file
handlers for fanotify without implementing any exportfs operations by
encoding a file id of type FILEID_INO64_GEN from i_ino and
i_generation.
Filesystems that want to opt out of encoding non-decodable file ids
for fanotify that don't support NFS export can do so by providing an
empty export_operations struct.
This also partially addresses (2) by generating f_fsid for simple
filesystems as well as freevxfs. Remaining filesystems will be dealt
with by separate patches.
Finally, this contains the patch from the current exportfs maintainers
which moves exportfs under vfs with Chuck, Jeff, and Amir as
maintainers and vfs.git as tree"

MAINTAINERS: create an entry for exportfs
fs: fix build error with CONFIG_EXPORTFS=m or not defined
freevxfs: derive f_fsid from bdev->bd_dev
fs: report f_fsid from s_dev for "simple" filesystems
exportfs: support encoding non-decodeable file handles by default
exportfs: define FILEID_INO64_GEN* file handle types
exportfs: make ->encode_fh() a mandatory method for NFS export
exportfs: add helpers to check if filesystem can encode/decode file handles
