[GIT PULL 09/16 for v7.2] vfs super

From: Christian Brauner

Date: Fri Jun 12 2026 - 11:14:11 EST


Hey Linus,

/* Summary */

This retires sget(). CIFS plus the two ext4 KUnit tests (extents-test,
mballoc-test) were the last in-tree callers, and all three convert
cleanly to sget_fc(). That lets sget() and its prototype come out,
taking ~60 lines that only existed to be kept in lockstep with
sget_fc() on every publish-path change.

/* Testing */

gcc (Debian 14.2.0-19) 14.2.0
Debian clang version 19.1.7 (3+b1)

No build failures or warnings were observed.

/* Conflicts */
