Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer: - Fix use-after-free races due to missing resource cleanup during DM target destruction in DM targets: thin-pool, cache, integrity and clone. - Fix ABBA deadlocks in DM thin-pool and cache targets due to their use of a bufio client (that has a shrinker whose locking can cause the incorrect locking order). - Fix DM cache target to set its needs_check flag after first aborting the metadata (whereby using reset persistent-data objects to update the superblock with, otherwise the superblock update could be dropped due to aborting metadata). This was found with code-inspection when comparing with the equivalent in DM thinp code. - Fix DM thin-pool's presume to continue resuming the device even if the pool in is fail mode -- otherwise bios may never be failed up the IO stack (which will prevent resetting the thin-pool target via table reload) - Fix DM thin-pool's metadata to use proper btree root (from previous transaction) if metadata commit failed. - Add 'waitfor' module param to DM module (dm_mod) to allow dm-init to wait for the specified device before continuing with its DM target initialization. * tag 'for-6.2/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: dm thin: Use last transaction's pmd->root when commit failed dm init: add dm-mod.waitfor to wait for asynchronously probed block devices dm ioctl: fix a couple ioctl codes dm ioctl: a small code cleanup in list_version_get_info dm thin: resume even if in FAIL mode dm cache: set needs_check flag after aborting metadata dm cache: Fix ABBA deadlock between shrink_slab and dm_cache_metadata_abort dm thin: Fix ABBA deadlock between shrink_slab and dm_pool_abort_metadata dm integrity: Fix UAF in dm_integrity_dtr() dm cache: Fix UAF in destroy() dm clone: Fix UAF in clone_dtr() dm thin: Fix UAF in run_timer_softirq()
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.
