Linus Torvalds ca010e2ef6 Merge tag 'hfs-v6.19-tag1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vdubeyko/hfs
Pull hfs/hfsplus updates from Viacheslav Dubeyko:
 "Several fixes for syzbot reported issues, HFS/HFS+ fixes of xfstests
  failures, Kunit-based unit-tests introduction, and code cleanup:

   - Dan Carpenter fixed a potential use-after-free issue in
     hfs_correct_next_unused_CNID() method. Tetsuo Handa has made nice
     fix of syzbot reported issue related to incorrect inode->i_mode
     management if volume has been corrupted somehow. Yang Chenzhi has
     made really good fix of potential race condition in
     __hfs_bnode_create() method for HFS+ file system.

   - Several fixes to xfstests failures. Particularly, generic/070,
     generic/073, and generic/101 test-cases finish successfully for the
     case of HFS+ file system right now.

   - HFS and HFS+ drivers share multiple structures of on-disk layout
     declarations. Some structures are used without any change. However,
     we had two independent declarations of the same structures in HFS
     and HFS+ drivers.

     The on-disk layout declarations have been moved into
     include/linux/hfs_common.h with the goal to exclude the
     declarations duplication and to keep the HFS/HFS+ on-disk layout
     declarations in one place.

     Also, this patch prepares the basis for creating a hfslib that can
     aggregate common functionality without necessity to duplicate the
     same code in HFS and HFS+ drivers.

   - HFS/HFS+ really need unit-tests because of multiple xfstests
     failures. The first two patches introduce Kunit-based unit-tests
     for the case string operations in HFS/HFS+ file system drivers"

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
