Merge tag 'fs.v6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/idmapping
Pull vfs hardening update from Christian Brauner:
"Jan pointed out that during shutdown both filp_close() and super block
destruction will use basic printk logging when bugs are detected. This
causes issues in a few scenarios:
- Tools like syzkaller cannot figure out that the logged message
indicates a bug.
- Users that explicitly opt in to have the kernel bug on data
corruption by selecting CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION should see
the kernel crash when they did actually select that option.
- When there are busy inodes after the superblock is shut down later
access to such a busy inodes walks through freed memory. It would
be better to cleanly crash instead.
All of this can be addressed by using the already existing
CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION() macro in these places when kernel bugs are
detected. Its logging improvement is useful for all users.
Otherwise this only has a meaningful behavioral effect when users do
select CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION which means this is backward
compatible for regular users"
