Merge tag 'vfs-6.13.tmpfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull tmpfs case folding updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds case-insensitive support for tmpfs.

  The work contained in here adds support for case-insensitive file
  names lookups in tmpfs. The main difference from other casefold
  filesystems is that tmpfs has no information on disk, just on RAM, so
  we can't use mkfs to create a case-insensitive tmpfs. For this
  implementation, there's a mount option for casefolding. The rest of
  the patchset follows a similar approach as ext4 and f2fs.

  The use case for this feature is similar to the use case for ext4, to
  better support compatibility layers (like Wine), particularly in
  combination with sandboxing/container tools (like Flatpak).

  Those containerization tools can share a subset of the host filesystem
  with an application. In the container, the root directory and any
  parent directories required for a shared directory are on tmpfs, with
  the shared directories bind-mounted into the container's view of the
  filesystem.

  If the host filesystem is using case-insensitive directories, then the
  application can do lookups inside those directories in a
  case-insensitive way, without this needing to be implemented in
  user-space. However, if the host is only sharing a subset of a
  case-insensitive directory with the application, then the parent
  directories of the mount point will be part of the container's root
  tmpfs. When the application tries to do case-insensitive lookups of
  those parent directories on a case-sensitive tmpfs, the lookup will
  fail"
