It solves some long-standing issues with using different auth entities and/or mounting different CephFS filesystems from the same cluster, remounting and also misleading /proc/mounts contents. The existing syntax of course remains to be maintained. On top of that, there is a couple of fixes for edge cases in quota and a new mount option for turning on unbuffered I/O mode globally instead of on a per-file basis with ioctl(CEPH_IOC_SYNCIO)" * tag 'ceph-for-5.17-rc1' of git://github.com/ceph/ceph-client: ceph: move CEPH_SUPER_MAGIC definition to magic.h ceph: remove redundant Lsx caps check ceph: add new "nopagecache" option ceph: don't check for quotas on MDS stray dirs ceph: drop send metrics debug message rbd: make const pointer spaces a static const array ceph: Fix incorrect statfs report for small quota ceph: mount syntax module parameter doc: document new CephFS mount device syntax ceph: record updated mon_addr on remount ceph: new device mount syntax libceph: rename parse_fsid() to ceph_parse_fsid() and export libceph: generalize addr/ip parsing based on delimiter 2022-01-20T08:41:01+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2022-01-20T08:41:01+00:00 urn:sha1:f4484d138b31e8fa1ba410363b5b9664f68974af Merge more updates from Andrew Morton: "55 patches.

Also important is the e820 handling change on x86 that should work around PCI BAR allocation issues on some systems shipping since 2019. The rest is just a handful of assorted fixes and cleanups on top of the ACPI material merged previously. Specifics: - Add support for the the Platform Firmware Runtime Update and Telemetry (PFRUT) interface based on ACPI to allow certain pieces of the platform firmware to be updated without restarting the system and to provide a mechanism for collecting platform firmware telemetry data (Chen Yu, Dan Carpenter, Yang Yingliang). - Ignore E820 reservations covering PCI host bridge windows on sufficiently recent x86 systems to avoid issues with allocating PCI BARs on systems where the E820 reservations cover the entire PCI host bridge memory window returned by the _CRS object in the system's ACPI tables (Hans de Goede). - Fix and clean up acpi_scan_init() (Rafael Wysocki). - Add more sanity checking to ACPI SPCR tables parsing (Mark Langsdorf). - Fix up ACPI APD (AMD Soc) driver initialization (Jiasheng Jiang). - Drop unnecessary "static" from the ACPI PCC address space handling driver added recently (kernel test robot)" * tag 'acpi-5.17-rc1-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: ACPI: PCC: pcc_ctx can be static ACPI: scan: Rename label in acpi_scan_init() ACPI: scan: Simplify initialization of power and sleep buttons ACPI: scan: Change acpi_scan_init() return value type to void ACPI: SPCR: check if table->serial_port.access_width is too wide ACPI: APD: Check for NULL pointer after calling devm_ioremap() x86/PCI: Ignore E820 reservations for bridge windows on newer systems ACPI: pfr_telemetry: Fix info leak in pfrt_log_ioctl() ACPI: pfr_update: Fix return value check in pfru_write() ACPI: tools: Introduce utility for firmware updates/telemetry ACPI: Introduce Platform Firmware Runtime Telemetry driver ACPI: Introduce Platform Firmware Runtime Update device driver efi: Introduce EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_CAPSULE_HEADER and corresponding structures 2022-01-17T17:25:57+00:00 Rafael J.
