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.
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 NVMe fixes from Christoph Hellwig:
- fix a regression in 4.18 that causes a memory leak on probe failure
(Keith Bush)
- fix a deadlock in the passthrough ioctl code (Scott Bauer)
- don't enable AENs if not supported (Weiping Zhang)
- fix an old regression in metadata handling in the passthrough ioctl
code (Roland Dreier)

Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro:
"Fix several places that screw up cleanups after failures halfway
through opening a file (one open-coding filp_clone_open() and getting
it wrong, two misusing alloc_file()). That part is -stable fodder from
the 'work.open' branch.
And Christoph's regression fix for uapi breakage in aio series;
include/uapi/linux/aio_abi.h shouldn't be pulling in the kernel
definition of sigset_t, the reason for doing so in the first place had
been bogus - there's no need to expose struct __aio_sigset in
aio_abi.h at all"

cxl_getfile(): fix double-iput() on alloc_file() failures

The old code in nvme_user_cmd() passed the userspace virtual address
from nvme_passthru_cmd.metadata as the length of the metadata buffer
as well as the address to nvme_submit_user_cmd().

glibc uses a different defintion of sigset_t than the kernel does,
and the current version would pull in both. To fix this just do not
expose the type at all - this somewhat mirrors pselect() where we
do not even have a type for the magic sigmask argument, but just
use pointer arithmetics.

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
- Fix interrupt type on ethernet switch for i.MX-based RDU2
- GPC on i.MX exposed too large a register window which resulted in
userspace being able to crash the machine.

droid4.

The nvme driver specific structures need to be initialized prior to
enabling the generic controller so we can unwind on failure with out
using the reference counting callbacks so that 'probe' and 'remove'
can be symmetric.
The newly added iod_mempool is the only resource that was being
allocated out of order, and a failure there would leak the generic
controller memory. This patch just moves that allocation above the
controller initialization.
