Linus Torvalds ad338d0543 Merge branch 'work.dcache' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull dcache_readdir() fixes from Al Viro:
 "The couple of patches you'd been OK with; no hlist conversion yet, and
  cursors are still in the list of children"

[ Al is referring to future work to avoid some nasty O(n**2) behavior
  with the readdir cursors when you have lots of concurrent readdirs.

  This is just a fix for a race with a trivial cleanup   - Linus ]

* 'work.dcache' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  libfs: take cursors out of list when moving past the end of directory
  Fix the locking in dcache_readdir() and friends

README

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.
