Pull namespace fixes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a set of four fairly obvious bug fixes:
- a switch from d_find_alias to d_find_any_alias because the xattr
code perversely takes a dentry
- two mutex vs copy_to_user fixes from Jann Horn
- a fix to use a sanitized size not the size userspace passed in from
Christian Brauner"
* 'userns-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
getxattr: use correct xattr length
sys: don't hold uts_sem while accessing userspace memory
userns: move user access out of the mutex
cap_inode_getsecurity: use d_find_any_alias() instead of d_find_alias()
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
