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.

The request buffers are freed right before copying the pointers.
Use the func args instead which are identical and still valid.

When doing reads beyound the end of a file the server returns
error STATUS_END_OF_FILE error which is mapped to -ENODATA.
Currently we report it as a failure which confuses read stats.
Change it to not consider -ENODATA as failure for stat purposes.

Currently we log success once we send an async IO request to
the server. Instead we need to analyse a response and then log
success or failure for a particular command. Also fix argument
list for read logging.

Allocation of a page array for non-cached IO was separated from
allocation of rdata and wdata structures and this introduced memory
leaks and a possible null pointer dereference. This patch fixes
these problems.

This reverts commit 2830bf6f05fb3e05bc4743274b806c821807a684.
The underlying assumption that one sparse section belongs into a single
numa node doesn't hold really. Robert Shteynfeld has reported a boot
failure. The boot log was not captured but his memory layout is as
follows:
Early memory node ranges
node 1: [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x0000000000090fff]
node 1: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000dbdf8fff]
node 1: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000001423ffffff]
node 0: [mem 0x0000001424000000-0x0000002023ffffff]
This means that node0 starts in the middle of a memory section which is
also in node1. memmap_init_zone tries to initialize padding of a
section even when it is outside of the given pfn range because there are
code paths (e.g. memory hotplug) which assume that the full worth of
memory section is always initialized.
In this particular case, though, such a range is already intialized and
most likely already managed by the page allocator. Scribbling over
those pages corrupts the internal state and likely blows up when any of
those pages gets used.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes for x86:
- Fix the swapped outb() parameters in the KASLR code
- Fix the PKEY handling at fork which missed to preserve the pkey
state for the child. Comes with a test case to validate that.
- Fix the entry stack handling for XEN PV to respect that XEN PV
systems enter the function already on the current thread stack and
not on the trampoline.
- Fix kexec load failure caused by using a stale value when the
kexec_buf structure is reused for subsequent allocations.
- Fix a bogus sizeof() in the memory encryption code
- Enforce PCI dependency for the Intel Low Power Subsystem
- Enforce PCI_LOCKLESS_CONFIG when PCI is enabled"
