Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a pile of various smaller fixes. Most of them aren't
very interesting so this just highlights things worth mentioning:
- Various filesystems contained the same little helper to convert
from the mode of a dentry to the DT_* type of that dentry.
They have now all been switched to rely on the generic
fs_umode_to_dtype() helper. All custom helpers are removed (Jeff)
- Fsnotify now reports ACCESS and MODIFY events for splice
(Chung-Chiang Cheng)
- After converting timerfd a long time ago to rely on
wait_event_interruptible_*() apis, convert eventfd as well. This
removes the complex open-coded wait code (Wen Yang)
- Simplify sysctl registration for devpts, avoiding the declaration
of two tables. Instead, just use a prefixed path with
register_sysctl() (Luis)
- The setattr_should_drop_sgid() helper is now exported so NFS can
use it. By switching NFS to this helper an NFS setgid inheritance
bug is fixed (me)"

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.
