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.

cifs has both source and destination inodes locked throughout the copy.
Like ->write_iter(), we update mtime and strip setuid bits of destination
file before copy and like ->read_iter(), we update atime of source file
after copy.

Prevent deadlock between open_shroot() and
cifs_mark_open_files_invalid() by releasing the lock before entering
SMB2_open, taking it again after and checking if we still need to use
the result.

Pull ceph updates from Ilya Dryomov:
"Lots of exciting things this time!
- support for rbd object-map and fast-diff features (myself). This
will speed up reads, discards and things like snap diffs on sparse
images.
- ceph.snap.btime vxattr to expose snapshot creation time (David
Disseldorp). This will be used to integrate with "Restore Previous
Versions" feature added in Windows 7 for folks who reexport ceph
through SMB.
- security xattrs for ceph (Zheng Yan). Only selinux is supported for
now due to the limitations of ->dentry_init_security().
- support for MSG_ADDR2, FS_BTIME and FS_CHANGE_ATTR features (Jeff
Layton). This is actually a single feature bit which was missing
because of the filesystem pieces. With this in, the kernel client
will finally be reported as "luminous" by "ceph features" -- it is
still being reported as "jewel" even though all required Luminous
features were implemented in 4.13.
- stop NULL-terminating ceph vxattrs (Jeff Layton). The convention
with xattrs is to not terminate and this was causing
inconsistencies with ceph-fuse.
- change filesystem time granularity from 1 us to 1 ns, again fixing
an inconsistency with ceph-fuse (Luis Henriques).
On top of this there are some additional dentry name handling and cap
flushing fixes from Zheng. Finally, Jeff is formally taking over for
Zheng as the filesystem maintainer"
* tag 'ceph-for-5.3-rc1' of git://github.com/ceph/ceph-client: (71 commits)

ceph: use generic_delete_inode() for ->drop_inode

Pull dax updates from Dan Williams:
"The fruits of a bug hunt in the fsdax implementation with Willy and a
small feature update for device-dax:
- Fix a hang condition that started triggering after the Xarray
conversion of fsdax in the v4.20 kernel.
- Add a 'resource' (root-only physical base address) sysfs attribute
to device-dax instances to correlate memory-blocks onlined via the
kmem driver with a given device instance"

dax: Fix missed wakeup with PMD faults
device-dax: Add a 'resource' attribute
Commit e450f4d1a5d6 ("ceph: pass inclusive lend parameter to
filemap_write_and_wait_range()") fixed the end offset parameter used to
call filemap_write_and_wait_range and invalidate_inode_pages2_range.
Unfortunately it missed truncate_inode_pages_range, introducing a
regression that is easily detected by xfstest generic/130.
The problem is that when doing direct IO it is possible that an extra page
is truncated from the page cache when the end offset is page aligned.
This can cause data loss if that page hasn't been sync'ed to the OSDs.
While there, change code to use PAGE_ALIGN macro instead.

In low memory situations the various SMB2_*_init() functions can fail
to allocate a request PDU and thus leave the request iovector as NULL.
If we don't check the return code for failure we end up calling
smb2_set_next_command() with a NULL iovector causing a crash when it tries
to dereference it.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"Primarily just the virtio_pmem driver:
- virtio_pmem
The new virtio_pmem facility introduces a paravirtualized
persistent memory device that allows a guest VM to use DAX
mechanisms to access a host-file with host-page-cache. It arranges
for MAP_SYNC to be disabled and instead triggers a host fsync()
when a 'write-cache flush' command is sent to the virtual disk
device.
- Miscellaneous small fixups"

virtio-pmem: Add virtio pmem driver

RocksDB can hang indefinitely when using a DAX file. This is due to
a bug in the XArray conversion when handling a PMD fault and finding a
PTE entry. We use the wrong index in the hash and end up waiting on
the wrong waitqueue.
There's actually no need to wait; if we find a PTE entry while looking
for a PMD entry, we can return immediately as we know we should fall
back to a PTE fault (which may not conflict with the lock held).
We reuse the XA_RETRY_ENTRY to signal a conflicting entry was found.
This value can never be found in an XArray while holding its lock, so
it does not create an ambiguity.
