Pull simple_recursive_removal() update from Al Viro: "Removing subtrees of kernel filesystems is done in quite a few places; unfortunately, it's easy to get wrong. A number of open-coded attempts are out there, with varying amount of bogosities. simple_recursive_removal() had been introduced for doing that with all precautions needed; it does an equivalent of rm -rf, with sufficient locking, eviction of anything mounted on top of the subtree, etc. This series converts a bunch of open-coded instances to using that" * tag 'pull-simple_recursive_removal' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: functionfs, gadgetfs: use simple_recursive_removal() kill binderfs_remove_file() fuse_ctl: use simple_recursive_removal() pstore: switch to locked_recursive_removal() binfmt_misc: switch to locked_recursive_removal() spufs: switch to locked_recursive_removal() add locked_recursive_removal() better lockdep annotations for simple_recursive_removal() simple_recursive_removal(): saner interaction with fsnotify
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.
