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.

By default s_maxbytes is set to MAX_NON_LFS, which limits the usable
file size to 2GB, enforced by the vfs.
Commit b9b1f8d5930a ("AFS: write support fixes") added support for the
64-bit fetch and store server operations, but did not change this value.
As a result, attempts to write past the 2G mark result in EFBIG errors:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=1 seek=2048
dd: error writing 'foo': File too large
Set s_maxbytes to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE.

Servers sending callback breaks to the YFS_CM_SERVICE service may
send up to YFSCBMAX (1024) fids in a single RPC. Anything over
AFSCBMAX (50) will cause the assert in afs_break_callbacks to trigger.
Remove the assert, as the count has already been checked against
the appropriate max values in afs_deliver_cb_callback and
afs_deliver_yfs_cb_callback.

Switching cpufreq drivers (or switching operation modes of the
intel_pstate driver from "active" to "passive" and vice versa)
does not work on some x86 systems with ACPI after commit
3000ce3c52f8 ("cpufreq: Use per-policy frequency QoS"), because
the ACPI _PPC and thermal code uses the same frequency QoS request
object for a given CPU every time a cpufreq driver is registered
and freq_qos_remove_request() does not invalidate the request after
removing it from its QoS list, so freq_qos_add_request() complains
and fails when that request is passed to it again.
Fix the issue by modifying freq_qos_remove_request() to clear the qos
and type fields of the frequency request pointed to by its argument
after removing it from its QoS list so as to invalidate it.

Let's limit shrinking to !ZONE_DEVICE so we can fix the current code.
We should never try to touch the memmap of offline sections where we
could have uninitialized memmaps and could trigger BUGs when calling
page_to_nid() on poisoned pages.
There is no reliable way to distinguish an uninitialized memmap from an
initialized memmap that belongs to ZONE_DEVICE, as we don't have
anything like SECTION_IS_ONLINE we can use similar to
pfn_to_online_section() for !ZONE_DEVICE memory.
E.g., set_zone_contiguous() similarly relies on pfn_to_online_section()
and will therefore never set a ZONE_DEVICE zone consecutive. Stopping
to shrink the ZONE_DEVICE therefore results in no observable changes,
besides /proc/zoneinfo indicating different boundaries - something we
can totally live with.
Before commit d0dc12e86b31 ("mm/memory_hotplug: optimize memory
hotplug"), the memmap was initialized with 0 and the node with the right
value. So the zone might be wrong but not garbage. After that commit,
both the zone and the node will be garbage when touching uninitialized
memmaps.
Toshiki reported a BUG (race between delayed initialization of
ZONE_DEVICE memmaps without holding the memory hotplug lock and
concurrent zone shrinking).

This BUG is also mitigated by this commit, where we for now stop to
shrink the ZONE_DEVICE zone until we can do it in a safe and clean way.

Pull arm64 fix from Will Deacon:
"Ensure PAN is re-enabled following user fault in uaccess routines.
After I thought we were done for 5.4, we had a report this week of a
nasty issue that has been shown to leak data between different user
address spaces thanks to corruption of entries in the TLB. In
hindsight, we should have spotted this in review when the PAN code was
merged back in v4.3, but hindsight is 20/20 and I'm trying not to beat
myself up too much about it despite being fairly miserable.
Anyway, the fix is "obvious" but the actual failure is more more
subtle, and is described in the commit message. I've included a fairly
mechanical follow-up patch here as well, which moves this checking out
into the C wrappers which is what we do for {get,put}_user() already
and allows us to remove these bloody assembly macros entirely. The
patches have passed kernelci [1] [2] [3] and CKI [4] tests over night,
as well as some targetted testing [5] for this particular issue.
The first patch is tagged for stable and should be applied to 4.14,
4.19 and 5.3. I have separate backports for 4.4 and 4.9, which I'll
send out once this has landed in your tree (although the original
patch applies cleanly, it won't build for those two trees).
Thanks to Pavel Tatashin for reporting this and Mark Rutland for
helping to diagnose the issue and review/test the solution"

This reverts commit 56e94ea132bb5c2c1d0b60a6aeb34dcb7d71a53d.
Commit 56e94ea132bb ("fs: ocfs2: fix possible null-pointer dereferences
in ocfs2_xa_prepare_entry()") introduces a regression that fail to
create directory with mount option user_xattr and acl. Actually the
reported NULL pointer dereference case can be correctly handled by
loc->xl_ops->xlo_add_entry(), so revert it.
