Linus Torvalds 78438ce18f Merge branch 'stable-fodder' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull vfs stable fodder fixes from Al Viro:

 - acct_on() fix for deadlock caught by overlayfs folks

 - autofs RCU use-after-free SNAFU (->d_manage() can be called
   locklessly, so we need to RCU-delay freeing the objects it looks at)

 - (hopefully) the end of "do we need freeing this dentry RCU-delayed"
   whack-a-mole.

* 'stable-fodder' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  autofs: fix use-after-free in lockless ->d_manage()
  dcache: sort the freeing-without-RCU-delay mess for good.
  acct_on(): don't mess with freeze protection

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.
