Linus Torvalds 5010fe9f09 New for 5.3:
- Standardize parameter checking for the SETFLAGS and FSSETXATTR ioctls
   (which were the file attribute setters for ext4 and xfs and have now
   been hoisted to the vfs)
 - Only allow the DAX flag to be set on files and directories.

Merge tag 'vfs-fix-ioctl-checking-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

Pull common SETFLAGS/FSSETXATTR parameter checking from Darrick Wong:
 "Here's a patch series that sets up common parameter checking functions
  for the FS_IOC_SETFLAGS and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl implementations.

  The goal here is to reduce the amount of behaviorial variance between
  the filesystems where those ioctls originated (ext2 and XFS,
  respectively) and everybody else.

   - Standardize parameter checking for the SETFLAGS and FSSETXATTR
     ioctls (which were the file attribute setters for ext4 and xfs and
     have now been hoisted to the vfs)

   - Only allow the DAX flag to be set on files and directories"

* tag 'vfs-fix-ioctl-checking-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux:
  vfs: only allow FSSETXATTR to set DAX flag on files and dirs
  vfs: teach vfs_ioc_fssetxattr_check to check extent size hints
  vfs: teach vfs_ioc_fssetxattr_check to check project id info
  vfs: create a generic checking function for FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR
  vfs: create a generic checking and prep function for FS_IOC_SETFLAGS

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.
