Pull in-kernel read and write op cleanups from Christoph Hellwig: "Cleanup in-kernel read and write operations Reshuffle the (__)kernel_read and (__)kernel_write helpers, and ensure all users of in-kernel file I/O use them if they don't use iov_iter based methods already. The new WARN_ONs in combination with syzcaller already found a missing input validation in 9p. The fix should be on your way through the maintainer ASAP".

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.
