This series introduces a proposal to implementing atomic writes in the
kernel for torn-write protection.

This series takes the approach of adding a new "atomic" flag to each of
pwritev2() and iocb->ki_flags - RWF_ATOMIC and IOCB_ATOMIC, respectively.
When set, these indicate that we want the write issued "atomically".

Applied, thanks!

Thanks Jens.

JFYI, we will probably notice a trivial conflict in include/uapi/linux/stat.h when merging, as I fixed a comment there which went into v6.10-rc4 . To resolve, the version in this series can be used, as it also fixes that comment.
