Merge tag 'vfs/v6.4-rc3/misc.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
- During the acl rework we merged this cycle the generic_listxattr()
helper had to be modified in a way that in principle it would allow
for POSIX ACLs to be reported. At least that was the impression we
had initially. Because before the acl rework POSIX ACLs would be
reported if the filesystem did have POSIX ACL xattr handlers in
sb->s_xattr. That logic changed and now we can simply check whether
the superblock has SB_POSIXACL set and if the inode has
inode->i_{default_}acl set report the appropriate POSIX ACL name.
However, we didn't realize that generic_listxattr() was only ever
used by two filesystems. Both of them don't support POSIX ACLs via
sb->s_xattr handlers and so never reported POSIX ACLs via
generic_listxattr() even if they raised SB_POSIXACL and did contain
inodes which had acls set. The example here is nfs4.
As a result, generic_listxattr() suddenly started reporting POSIX
ACLs when it wouldn't have before. Since SB_POSIXACL implies that the
umask isn't stripped in the VFS nfs4 can't just drop SB_POSIXACL from
the superblock as it would also alter umask handling for them.
So just have generic_listxattr() not report POSIX ACLs as it never
did anyway. It's documented as such.
- Our SB_* flags currently use a signed integer and we shift the last
bit causing UBSAN to complain about undefined behavior. Switch to
using unsigned. While the original patch used an explicit unsigned
bitshift it's now pretty common to rely on the BIT() macro in a lot
of headers nowadays. So the patch has been adjusted to use that.
- Add Namjae as ntfs reviewer. They're already active this cycle so
let's make it explicit right now.

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 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.
