DRM fixes target Blackwell display, ceph nearfull_sync on remount

Linux 7.3-rc2 merges include DRM fixes for Blackwell GPUs, a ceph use-after-free fix, and HID-BPF adjustments for the stricter verifier.

The drm-fixes merge for 7.3-rc2 carries a notable batch of nouveau display fixes for Blackwell GPUs, with maintainer Dave Airlie noting they "should mean we light up monitors properly and fix some desktop rendering problems." [1] The pull also includes the usual amdgpu and intel display changes, a core fix for a drm_crtc_commit leak when PAGE_FLIP_EVENT is used, and pagemap changes.

Ceph lands a small fixup for the new nearfull_sync mount option so it now applies on remount, plus a potential use-after-free fix marked for stable and a patch removing the last PageWriteback macro use in the tree. [2] The HID merge adjusts HID-BPF and its selftests now that the BPF verifier is more restrictive, alongside hid-hyperv build fixes and assorted device fixes. [3]

The ata pull works around lost interrupts on Marvell 88SE61xx controllers, which require clearing interrupts in the opposite order from the AHCI spec, and stops raising UNIT ATTENTION for depopulation commands. [4] IMA fixes exclude configfs files from builtin measurement, appraisal, and audit policies, since those hooks caused configfs locking issues. [5]
