Merge tag 'fuse-update-6.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse

Pull fuse updates from Miklos Szeredi:

 - Add passthrough mode for regular file I/O.

   This allows performing read and write (also via memory maps) on a
   backing file without incurring the overhead of roundtrips to
   userspace. For now this is only allowed to privileged servers, but
   this limitation will go away in the future (Amir Goldstein)

 - Fix interaction of direct I/O mode with memory maps (Bernd Schubert)

 - Export filesystem tags through sysfs for virtiofs (Stefan Hajnoczi)

 - Allow resending queued requests for server crash recovery (Zhao Chen)

 - Misc fixes and cleanups

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the ReStructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
