  fs/ntfs3: add delayed-allocation (delalloc) support (2026-02-16 17:23:51 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 7.0-rc1

Added:
        improve readahead for bitmap initialization and large directory scans
	fsync files by syncing parent inodes
	drop of preallocated clusters for sparse and compressed files
	zero-fill folios beyond i_valid in ntfs_read_folio()
	implement llseek SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE by scanning data runs
	implement iomap-based file operations
	allow explicit boolean acl/prealloc mount options
	a fall-through between switch labels
	a delayed-allocation (delalloc) support

Fixed:
        check return value of indx_find to avoid infinite loop
	initialize new folios before use
	an infinite loop in attr_load_runs_range on inconsistent metadata
	an infinite loop triggered by zero-sized ATTR_LIST
	ntfs_mount_options leak in ntfs_fill_super()
	a deadlock in ni_read_folio_cmpr
	a circular locking dependency in run_unpack_ex
	prevent infinite loops caused by the next valid being the same
	restore NULL folio initialization in ntfs_writepages()
	a slab-out-of-bounds read in DeleteIndexEntryRoot

Changed:
        allow readdir() to finish after directory mutations without rewinddir()
	handle attr_set_size() errors when truncating files
	make ntfs_writeback_ops static
	refactor duplicate kmemdup pattern in do_action()
	avoid calling run_get_entry() when run == NULL in ntfs_read_run_nb_ra()

Replaced:
	use wait_on_buffer() directly
	rename ni_readpage_cmpr into ni_read_folio_cmpr

My apologies - the opening line of my previous message was accidentally
cut. For clarity:

Please pull this branch containing ntfs3 code for 7.0.

Everything else (the patches, commit messages, and Signed-off-by / trailers)
is unchanged.

Konstantin
