Pull 9p fixes from Dominique Martinet: - 9p now uses a variable size for its recv buffer, but every place hadn't been updated properly to use it and some buffer overflows have been found and needed fixing. There's still one place where msize is incorrectly used in a safety check (p9_check_errors), but all paths leading to it should already be avoiding overflows and that patch took a bit more time to get right for zero-copy requests so I'll send it for 6.2 - yet another race condition in p9_conn_cancel introduced by a fix for a syzbot report in the same place. Maybe at some point we'll get it right without burning it all down... * tag '9p-for-6.1-rc7' of https://github.com/martinetd/linux: 9p/xen: check logical size for buffer size 9p/fd: Use P9_HDRSZ for header size 9p/fd: Fix write overflow in p9_read_work 9p/fd: fix issue of list_del corruption in p9_fd_cancel()
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.
