Linux kernel stable tree

The callers of do_splice_direct() hold file_start_write() on the output file. This may cause file permission hooks to be called indirectly on an overlayfs lower layer, which is on the same filesystem of the output file and could lead to deadlock with fanotify permission events. To fix this potential deadlock, move file_start_write() from the callers into the direct_splice_actor(), so file_start_write() will not be held while splicing from the input file.

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.
