Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.ntfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull ntfs update from Christian Brauner:
"This removes the old ntfs driver. The new ntfs3 driver is a full
replacement that was merged over two years ago. We've went through
various userspace and either they use ntfs3 or they use the fuse
version of ntfs and thus build neither ntfs nor ntfs3. I think that's
a clear sign that we should risk removing the legacy ntfs driver.
Quoting from Arch Linux and Debian:
- Debian does neither build the legacy ntfs nor the new ntfs3:
"Not currently built with Debian's kernel packages, 'ntfs' has been
symlinked to 'ntfs-3g' as it relates to fstab and mount commands.
Debian kernels are built without support of the ntfs3 driver
developed by Paragon Software." (cf. [2])
- Archlinux provides ntfs3 as their default since 5.15:
"All officially supported kernels with versions 5.15 or newer are
built with CONFIG_NTFS3_FS=m and thus support it. Before 5.15,
NTFS read and write support is provided by the NTFS-3G FUSE file
system." (cf. [1]).
It's unmaintained apart from various odd fixes as well. Worst case we
have to reintroduce it if someone really has a valid dependency on it.
But it's worth trying to see whether we can remove it"
