Merge two fixes for the pipe rework from David Howells:
"Here are a couple of patches to fix bugs syzbot found in the pipe
changes:
- An assertion check will sometimes trip when polling a pipe because
the ring size and indices used are approximate and may be being
changed simultaneously.
An equivalent approximate calculation was done previously, but
without the assertion check, so I've just dropped the check. To
make it accurate, the pipe mutex would need to be taken or the spin
lock could be used - but usage of the spinlock would need to be
rolled out into splice, iov_iter and other places for that.
- The index mask and the max_usage values cannot be cached across
pipe_wait() as F_SETPIPE_SZ could have been called during the wait.
This can cause pipe_write() to break"
* pipe-rework:
pipe: Fix missing mask update after pipe_wait()
pipe: Remove assertion from pipe_poll()
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.
