  ext4: validate donor file superblock early in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT (2026-06-10 10:53:50 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Various ext4 updates for 7.2-rc1:

* A major rework of the fast commit mechanism to avoid lock
  contention and deadlocks.  We also export snapshot statistics
  in /proc/fs/ext4/*/fc_info.
* Performance optimization for directory hash computation by
  processing input in 4-byte chunks and removing function pointers,
  along with new KUnit tests for directory hash.
* Cleanups in JBD2 to remove special slabs and use kmalloc() instead.
* Various bug fixes, including:
   - Early validation of donor superblock in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT to avoid
     cross-fs deadlock
   - Fix for a kernel BUG in ext4_write_inline_data_end under
     data=journal
   - Fix for a NULL dereference in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata when
     handle is aborted
   - Fix for an underflow in JBD2 fast commit block initialization check
   - Fix for LOGFLUSH shutdown ordering to ensure ordered data writeback
   - Miscellaneous fixes for error path return values and KUnit assertions.
