Pull vfs namei updates from Al Viro:
- make lookup_one_len() safe with parent locked only shared(incoming
afs series wants that)
- fix of getname_kernel() regression from 2015 (-stable fodder, that
one).
* 'work.namei' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
getname_kernel() needs to make sure that ->name != ->iname in long case
make lookup_one_len() safe to use with directory locked shared
new helper: __lookup_slow()
merge common parts of lookup_one_len{,_unlocked} into common helper
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
