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.

scsi: core: set result when the command cannot be dispatched
If a request transmission fails due to write space or slot unavailability
errors, but the queued task then gets transmitted before it has time to
process the error in call_transmit_status() or call_bc_transmit_status(),
we need to suppress the transmission error code to prevent it from leaking
out of the RPC layer.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
"A set of small fixes that should go into this series. This contains:
- Removal of unused queue member (Hou)
- Overflow bvec fix (Ming)
- Various little io_uring tweaks (me)
- kthread parking
- Only call cpu_possible() for verified CPU
- Drop unused 'file' argument to io_file_put()
- io_uring_enter vs io_uring_register deadlock fix
- CQ overflow fix
- BFQ internal depth update fix (me)"
* tag 'for-linus-20190420' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
block: make sure that bvec length can't be overflow
block: kill all_q_node in request_queue
io_uring: fix CQ overflow condition
io_uring: fix possible deadlock between io_uring_{enter,register}
io_uring: drop io_file_put() 'file' argument
bfq: update internal depth state when queue depth changes
io_uring: only test SQPOLL cpu after we've verified it
io_uring: park SQPOLL thread if it's percpu
Instead of relying on the now removed NULL argument to
pci_alloc_consistent, switch to the generic DMA API, and store the struct
device so that we can pass it.

bvec->bv_offset may be bigger than PAGE_SIZE sometimes, such as,
when one bio is splitted in the middle of one bvec via bio_split(),
and bi_iter.bi_bvec_done is used to build offset of the 1st bvec of
remained bio. And the remained bio's bvec may be re-submitted to fs
layer via ITER_IBVEC, such as loop and nvme-loop.
So we have to make sure that every bvec's offset is less than
PAGE_SIZE from bio_for_each_segment_all() because some drivers(loop,
nvme-loop) passes the splitted bvec to fs layer via ITER_BVEC.
This patch fixes this issue reported by Zhang Yi When running nvme/011.

Merge page ref overflow branch.
Jann Horn reported that he can overflow the page ref count with
sufficient memory (and a filesystem that is intentionally extremely
slow).
Admittedly it's not exactly easy. To have more than four billion
references to a page requires a minimum of 32GB of kernel memory just
for the pointers to the pages, much less any metadata to keep track of
those pointers. Jann needed a total of 140GB of memory and a specially
crafted filesystem that leaves all reads pending (in order to not ever
free the page references and just keep adding more).
Still, we have a fairly straightforward way to limit the two obvious
user-controllable sources of page references: direct-IO like page
references gotten through get_user_pages(), and the splice pipe page
duplication. So let's just do that.
* branch page-refs:
fs: prevent page refcount overflow in pipe_buf_get
mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount
mm: add 'try_get_page()' helper function
mm: make page ref count overflow check tighter and more explicit
