Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull file locking updates from Christian Brauner:
 "A few years ago struct file_lock_context was added to allow for
  separate lists to track different types of file locks instead of using
  a singly-linked list for all of them.

  Now leases no longer need to be tracked using struct file_lock.
  However, a lot of the infrastructure is identical for leases and locks
  so separating them isn't trivial.

  This splits a group of fields used by both file locks and leases into
  a new struct file_lock_core. The new core struct is embedded in struct
  file_lock. Coccinelle was used to convert a lot of the callers to deal
  with the move, with the remaining 25% or so converted by hand.

  Afterwards several internal functions in fs/locks.c are made to work
  with struct file_lock_core. Ultimately this allows to split struct
  file_lock into struct file_lock and struct file_lease. The file lease
  APIs are then converted to take struct file_lease"

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 Restructured Text 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.
