Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.rw' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs rw updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains updates from Amir for read-write backing file helpers
  for stacking filesystems such as overlayfs:

   - Fanotify is currently in the process of introducing pre content
     events. Roughly, a new permission event will be added indicating
     that it is safe to write to the file being accessed. These events
     are used by hierarchical storage managers to e.g., fill the content
     of files on first access.

     During that work we noticed that our current permission checking is
     inconsistent in rw_verify_area() and remap_verify_area().
     Especially in the splice code permission checking is done multiple
     times. For example, one time for the whole range and then again for
     partial ranges inside the iterator.

     In addition, we mostly do permission checking before we call
     file_start_write() except for a few places where we call it after.
     For pre-content events we need such permission checking to be done
     before file_start_write(). So this is a nice reason to clean this
     all up.

     After this series, all permission checking is done before
     file_start_write().

     As part of this cleanup we also massaged the splice code a bit. We
     got rid of a few helpers because we are alredy drowning in special
     read-write helpers. We also cleaned up the return types for splice
     helpers.

   - Introduce generic read-write helpers for backing files. This lifts
     some overlayfs code to common code so it can be used by the FUSE
     passthrough work coming in over the next cycles. Make Amir and
     Miklos the maintainers for this new subsystem of the vfs"
