Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Pull cifs fixes from Steve French:
"Nine cifs/smb3 fixes:
- one fix for stable (oops during oplock break)
- two timestamp fixes including important one for updating mtime at
close to avoid stale metadata caching issue on dirty files (also
improves perf by using SMB2_CLOSE_FLAG_POSTQUERY_ATTRIB over the
wire)
- two fixes for "modefromsid" mount option for file create (now
allows mode bits to be set more atomically and accurately on create
by adding "sd_context" on create when modefromsid specified on
mount)
- two fixes for multichannel found in testing this week against
different servers
- two small cleanup patches"
* tag '5.5-rc-smb3-fixes-part2' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6:
smb3: improve check for when we send the security descriptor context on create
smb3: fix mode passed in on create for modetosid mount option
cifs: fix possible uninitialized access and race on iface_list
cifs: Fix lookup of SMB connections on multichannel
smb3: query attributes on file close
smb3: remove unused flag passed into close functions
cifs: remove redundant assignment to pointer pneg_ctxt
fs: cifs: Fix atime update check vs mtime
CIFS: Fix NULL-pointer dereference in smb2_push_mandatory_locks
Pull misc vfs cleanups from Al Viro:
"No common topic, just three cleanups".
* 'work.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
make __d_alloc() static
fs/namespace: add __user to open_tree and move_mount syscalls
fs/fnctl: fix missing __user in fcntl_rw_hint()
We had cases in the previous patch where we were sending the security
descriptor context on SMB3 open (file create) in cases when we hadn't
mounted with with "modefromsid" mount option.
Add check for that mount flag before calling ad_sd_context in
open init.

When using the special SID to store the mode bits in an ACE (See
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh509017(v=ws.10).aspx)
which is enabled with mount parm "modefromsid" we were not
passing in the mode via SMB3 create (although chmod was enabled).
SMB3 create allows a security descriptor context to be passed
in (which is more atomic and thus preferable to setting the mode
bits after create via a setinfo).
This patch enables setting the mode bits on create when using
modefromsid mount option. In addition it fixes an endian
error in the definition of the Control field flags in the SMB3
security descriptor. It also makes the ACE type of the special
SID better match the documentation (and behavior of servers
which use this to store mode bits in SMB3 ACLs).
