Pull vfs inode type handling updates from Al Viro: "We should never change the type bits of ->i_mode or the method tables (->i_op and ->i_fop) of a live inode. Unfortunately, not all filesystems took care to prevent that" * 'work.inode-type-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: spufs: fix bogosity in S_ISGID handling 9p: missing chunk of "fs/9p: Don't update file type when updating file attributes" openpromfs: don't do unlock_new_inode() until the new inode is set up hostfs_mknod(): don't bother with init_special_inode() cifs: have cifs_fattr_to_inode() refuse to change type on live inode cifs: have ->mkdir() handle race with another client sanely do_cifs_create(): don't set ->i_mode of something we had not created gfs2: be careful with inode refresh ocfs2_inode_lock_update(): make sure we don't change the type bits of i_mode orangefs_inode_is_stale(): i_mode type bits do *not* form a bitmap... vboxsf: don't allow to change the inode type afs: Fix updating of i_mode due to 3rd party change ceph: don't allow type or device number to change on non-I_NEW inodes ceph: fix up error handling with snapdirs new helper: inode_wrong_type()
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.
