Linus Torvalds a8058f8442 Merge tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.directory.locking' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull directory locking updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the work to add centralized APIs for directory locking
  operations.

  This series is part of a larger effort to change directory operation
  locking to allow multiple concurrent operations in a directory. The
  ultimate goal is to lock the target dentry(s) rather than the whole
  parent directory.

  To help with changing the locking protocol, this series centralizes
  locking and lookup in new helper functions. The helpers establish a
  pattern where it is the dentry that is being locked and unlocked
  (currently the lock is held on dentry->d_parent->d_inode, but that can
  change in the future).

  This also changes vfs_mkdir() to unlock the parent on failure, as well
  as dput()ing the dentry. This allows end_creating() to only require
  the target dentry (which may be IS_ERR() after vfs_mkdir()), not the
  parent"
