Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
"cachefiles:
- Export an existing and add a new cachefile helper to be used in
filesystems to fix reference count bugs
- Use the newly added fscache_ty_get_volume() helper to get a
reference count on an fscache_volume to handle volumes that are
about to be removed cleanly
- After withdrawing a fscache_cache via FSCACHE_CACHE_IS_WITHDRAWN
wait for all ongoing cookie lookups to complete and for the object
count to reach zero
- Propagate errors from vfs_getxattr() to avoid an infinite loop in
cachefiles_check_volume_xattr() because it keeps seeing ESTALE
- Don't send new requests when an object is dropped by raising
CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND_OJBSTATE_DROPPING
- Cancel all requests for an object that is about to be dropped
- Wait for the ondemand_boject_worker to finish before dropping a
cachefiles object to prevent use-after-free
- Use cyclic allocation for message ids to better handle id recycling
- Add missing lock protection when iterating through the xarray when
polling
netfs:
- Use standard logging helpers for debug logging
VFS:
- Fix potential use-after-free in file locks during
trace_posix_lock_inode(). The tracepoint could fire while another
task raced it and freed the lock that was requested to be traced
- Only increment the nr_dentry_negative counter for dentries that are
present on the superblock LRU. Currently, DCACHE_LRU_LIST list is
used to detect this case. However, the flag is also raised in
combination with DCACHE_SHRINK_LIST to indicate that dentry->d_lru
is used. So checking only DCACHE_LRU_LIST will lead to wrong
nr_dentry_negative count. Fix the check to not count dentries that
are on a shrink related list
Misc:
- hfsplus: fix an uninitialized value issue in copy_name
- minix: fix minixfs_rename with HIGHMEM. It still uses kunmap() even
though we switched it to kmap_local_page() a while ago"

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 reStructuredText 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.
