Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe:
"Mostly fixes for regressions in this cycle, but also a few fixes that
predate this release.
The odd one out is a tweak to the direct files added in this release,
where attempting to reuse a slot is allowed instead of needing an
explicit removal of that slot first. It's a considerable improvement
in usability to that API, hence I'm sending it for -rc2.
- io-wq race fix and cleanup (Hao)
- loop_rw_iter() type fix
- SQPOLL max worker race fix
- Allow poll arm for O_NONBLOCK files, fixing a case where it's
impossible to properly use io_uring if you cannot modify the file
flags
- Allow direct open to simply reuse a slot, instead of needing it
explicitly removed first (Pavel)
- Fix a case where we missed signal mask restoring in cqring_wait, if
we hit -EFAULT (Xiaoguang)"

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.
