Merge tag 'tracefs-v6.12-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracefs fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Fix tracefs mount options. Commit 78ff64081949 ("vfs: Convert tracefs to use the new mount API") broke the gid setting when set by fstab or other mount utility. It is ignored when it is set. Fix the code so that it recognises the option again and will honor the settings on mount at boot up. Update the internal documentation and create a selftest to make sure it doesn't break again in the future" * tag 'tracefs-v6.12-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing/selftests: Add tracefs mount options test tracing: Document tracefs gid mount option tracing: Fix tracefs mount options
