Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer: - Stable fixes for 3 DM targets (integrity, verity and crypt) to address systemic failure that can occur if user provided pages map to the same block. - Fix DM crypt to not allow modifying data that being encrypted for authenticated encryption. - Fix DM crypt and verity targets to align their respective bvec_iter struct members to avoid the need for byte level access (due to __packed attribute) that is costly on some arches (like RISC). * tag 'for-6.8/dm-fixes-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm-crypt, dm-integrity, dm-verity: bump target version dm-verity, dm-crypt: align "struct bvec_iter" correctly dm-crypt: recheck the integrity tag after a failure dm-crypt: don't modify the data when using authenticated encryption dm-verity: recheck the hash after a failure dm-integrity: recheck the integrity tag after a failure
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.
