Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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 UBI/UBIFS fixes from Richard Weinberger:
"This contains fixes for issues in both UBI and UBIFS:
- more O_TMPFILE fallout
- RENAME_WHITEOUT regression due to a mis-merge
- memory leak in ubifs_mknod()
- power-cut problem in UBI's update volume feature"

Pull RAS fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"The MCE atomic notifier callchain invokes callbacks which might sleep.
Convert it to a blocking notifier and prevent calls from atomic
context"
* 'ras-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/mce: Make the MCE notifier a blocking one
It is perfectly fine to link a tmpfile back using linkat().
Since tmpfiles are created with a link count of 0 they appear
on the orphan list, upon re-linking the inode has to be removed
from the orphan list again.
Ralph faced a filesystem corruption in combination with overlayfs
due to this bug.

Pull irq fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"The (hopefully) final fix for the irq affinity spreading logic"
* 'irq-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
genirq/affinity: Fix calculating vectors to assign
The NFIT MCE handler callback (for handling media errors on NVDIMMs)
takes a mutex to add the location of a memory error to a list. But since
the notifier call chain for machine checks (x86_mce_decoder_chain) is
atomic, we get a lockdep splat like:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:620
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 4, name: kworker/0:0
[..]
Call Trace:
dump_stack
___might_sleep
__might_sleep
mutex_lock_nested
? __lock_acquire
nfit_handle_mce
notifier_call_chain
atomic_notifier_call_chain
? atomic_notifier_call_chain
mce_gen_pool_process
Convert the notifier to a blocking one which gets to run only in process
context.
Boris: remove the notifier call in atomic context in print_mce(). For
now, let's print the MCE on the atomic path so that we can make sure
they go out and get logged at least.

unsupported NFSv4 compound op"

nfsd: fix oops on unsupported operation
The vectors_per_node is calculated from the remaining available vectors.
The current vector starts after pre_vectors, so we need to subtract that
from the current to properly account for the number of remaining vectors
to assign.

I'm hitting the BUG in nfsd4_max_reply() at fs/nfsd/nfs4proc.c:2495 when
client sends an operation the server doesn't support.
in nfsd4_max_reply() it checks for NULL rsize_bop but a non-supported
operation wouldn't have that set.
