Merge tag 'fs.rt.v5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull mount attributes PREEMPT_RT update from Christian Brauner: "This contains Sebastian's fix to make changing mount attributes/getting write access compatible with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. The change only applies when users explicitly opt-in to real-time via CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT otherwise things are exactly as before. We've waited quite a long time with this to make sure folks could take a good look" * tag 'fs.rt.v5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: fs/namespace: Boost the mount_lock.lock owner instead of spinning on PREEMPT_RT.
