Pull file locking updates from Christian Brauner: "A few years ago struct file_lock_context was added to allow for separate lists to track different types of file locks instead of using a singly-linked list for all of them. Now leases no longer need to be tracked using struct file_lock. However, a lot of the infrastructure is identical for leases and locks so separating them isn't trivial. This splits a group of fields used by both file locks and leases into a new struct file_lock_core. The new core struct is embedded in struct file_lock. Coccinelle was used to convert a lot of the callers to deal with the move, with the remaining 25% or so converted by hand. Afterwards several internal functions in fs/locks.c are made to work with struct file_lock_core. Ultimately this allows to split struct file_lock into struct file_lock and struct file_lease. The file lease APIs are then converted to take struct file_lease" * tag 'vfs-6.9.file' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (51 commits) filelock: fix deadlock detection in POSIX locking filelock: always define for_each_file_lock() smb: remove redundant check filelock: don't do security checks on nfsd setlease calls filelock: split leases out of struct file_lock filelock: remove temporary compatibility macros smb/server: adapt to breakup of struct file_lock smb/client: adapt to breakup of struct file_lock ocfs2: adapt to breakup of struct file_lock nfsd: adapt to breakup of struct file_lock nfs: adapt to breakup of struct file_lock lockd: adapt to breakup of struct file_lock fuse: adapt to breakup of struct file_lock gfs2: adapt to breakup of struct file_lock dlm: adapt to breakup of struct file_lock ceph: adapt to breakup of struct file_lock afs: adapt to breakup of struct file_lock 9p: adapt to breakup of struct file_lock filelock: convert seqfile handling to use file_lock_core filelock: convert locks_translate_pid to take file_lock_core ...
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.
