Pull dcache_readdir() fixes from Al Viro: "The couple of patches you'd been OK with; no hlist conversion yet, and cursors are still in the list of children" [ Al is referring to future work to avoid some nasty O(n**2) behavior with the readdir cursors when you have lots of concurrent readdirs. This is just a fix for a race with a trivial cleanup - Linus ] * 'work.dcache' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: libfs: take cursors out of list when moving past the end of directory Fix the locking in dcache_readdir() and friends
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.
