Subject: [v6.6][PATCH 00/57] eventfs: Linus's updates for 6.6


This is a backport of all the work that lead up to the work that Linus made
on eventfs. I trust Linus's version more so than the versions in 6.6 and
6.7. There may be plenty of hidden issues due to the design.

This is the update for 6.6. It includes Linus's updates as well as all the
patches leading up to them. As the eventfs work went in in two parts, half
went in in 6.6 and the other in 6.7, there were 6 backports that were done
custom to 6.6 as the bugs found in 6.7 were in 6.6 but implemented
differently. This series starts with reverting those 6 backports and then
applying the updated patches to get to Linus's simplification.

I ran these through my full test suite that I use before sending anything to
Linus, although I did not run my "bisect" test that walks through the
patches. The tests were just run on the end result.

This was created with the following command against v6.6.15, after reverting
the 6 patches:

git log --reverse --no-merges --pretty=oneline v6.6..origin/master fs/tracefs/ | cut -d' ' -f1 |
   while read a; do if ! git cherry-pick -x $a; then break; fi ; done

Which adds -x to the cherry pick to add the upstream commit SHAs.

There was one patch in tracefs that didn't need to be backported and I removed
that one.
