Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer: - writecache fix to allow dax_direct_access() to partitioned pmem devices. - multipath fix to avoid any Path Group initialization if 'pg_init_in_progress' isn't set. - crypt fix to use DECLARE_CRYPTO_WAIT() for onstack wait structures. - integrity fix to properly check integrity after device creation when in bitmap mode. - thinp and cache target __create_persistent_data_objects() fixes to reset the metadata's dm_block_manager pointer from PTR_ERR to NULL before returning from error path. - persistent-data block manager fix to guard against dm_block_manager NULL pointer dereference in dm_bm_is_read_only() and update various opencoded bm->read_only checks to use dm_bm_is_read_only() instead. * tag 'for-5.9/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm thin metadata: Fix use-after-free in dm_bm_set_read_only dm thin metadata: Avoid returning cmd->bm wild pointer on error dm cache metadata: Avoid returning cmd->bm wild pointer on error dm integrity: fix error reporting in bitmap mode after creation dm crypt: Initialize crypto wait structures dm mpath: fix racey management of PG initialization dm writecache: handle DAX to partitions on persistent memory correctly
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.
