Pull netfx fixes from David Howells:
"Two fixes, affecting the functions that iterates over the pagecache
unmarking or unlocking pages after an op is complete:
- xas_for_each() loops must call xas_retry() first thing and
immediately do a "continue" in the case that the extracted value is
a special value that indicates that the walk raced with a
modification. Fix the unlock and unmark loops to do this.
- The maths in the unlock loop is dodgy as it could, theoretically,
at some point in the future end up with a starting file pointer
that is in the middle of a folio. This will cause a subtraction to
go negative - but the number is unsigned. Fix the maths to use
absolute file positions instead of relative page indices"

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.
