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.

Under SMB1 + POSIX, if an inode is reused on a server after we have read and
cached a part of a file, when we then open the new file with the
re-cycled inode there is a chance that we may serve the old data out of cache
to the application.
This only happens for SMB1 (deprecated) and when posix are used.
The simplest solution to avoid this race is to force a revalidate
on smb1-posix open.

For AES256 encryption (GCM and CCM), we need to adjust the size of a few
fields to 32 bytes instead of 16 to accommodate the larger keys.
Also, the L value supplied to the key generator needs to be changed from
to 256 when these algorithms are used.
Keeping the ioctl struct for dumping keys of the same size for now.
Will send out a different patch for that one.

Pull io_uring followup fixes from Jens Axboe:
- The SIGSTOP change from Eric, so we properly ignore that for
PF_IO_WORKER threads.
- Disallow sending signals to PF_IO_WORKER threads in general, we're
not interested in having them funnel back to the io_uring owning
task.
- Stable fix from Stefan, ensuring we properly break links for short
send/sendmsg recv/recvmsg if MSG_WAITALL is set.
- Catch and loop when needing to run task_work before a PF_IO_WORKER
threads goes to sleep.
* tag 'io_uring-5.12-2021-03-21' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:

Without that it's not safe to use them in a linked combination with
others.
Now combinations like IORING_OP_SENDMSG followed by IORING_OP_SPLICE
should be possible.
We already handle short reads and writes for the following opcodes:
- IORING_OP_READV
- IORING_OP_READ_FIXED
- IORING_OP_READ
- IORING_OP_WRITEV
- IORING_OP_WRITE_FIXED
- IORING_OP_WRITE
- IORING_OP_SPLICE
- IORING_OP_TEE
Now we have it for these as well:
- IORING_OP_SENDMSG
- IORING_OP_SEND
- IORING_OP_RECVMSG
- IORING_OP_RECV
For IORING_OP_RECVMSG we also check for the MSG_TRUNC and MSG_CTRUNC
flags in order to call req_set_fail_links().
There might be applications arround depending on the behavior
that even short send[msg]()/recv[msg]() retuns continue an
IOSQE_IO_LINK chain.
It's very unlikely that such applications pass in MSG_WAITALL,
which is only defined in 'man 2 recvmsg', but not in 'man 2 sendmsg'.
It's expected that the low level sock_sendmsg() call just ignores
MSG_WAITALL, as MSG_ZEROCOPY is also ignored without explicitly set
SO_ZEROCOPY.
We also expect the caller to know about the implicit truncation to
MAX_RW_COUNT, which we don't detect.

this requires any encapsulating struct to also have an alignment of 2.

Mark the current task as running if we need to run task_work from the
io-wq threads as part of work handling. If that is the case, then return
as such so that the caller can appropriately loop back and reset if it
was part of a going-to-sleep flush.
