- 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
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.
