Pull overlayfs fixes from Miklos Szeredi: "This fixes a regression in the recent file stacking update, reported and fixed by Amir Goldstein. The fix is fairly trivial, but involves adding a fadvise() f_op and the associated churn in the vfs. As discussed on -fsdevel, there are other possible uses for this method, than allowing proper stacking for overlays. And there's one other fix for a syzkaller detected oops" * tag 'ovl-fixes-4.19-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs: ovl: fix oopses in ovl_fill_super() failure paths ovl: add ovl_fadvise() vfs: implement readahead(2) using POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED vfs: add the fadvise() file operation Documentation/filesystems: update documentation of file_operations ovl: fix GPF in swapfile_activate of file from overlayfs over xfs ovl: respect FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC flag
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
