Pull file locking updates from Jeff Layton:
 "The main change in this set is Neil Brown's work to reduce the
  thundering herd problem when a heavily-contended file lock is
  released.

  Previously we'd always wake up all waiters when this occurred. With
  this set, we'll now we only wake up waiters that were blocked on the
  range being released"

  locks: Use inode_is_open_for_write
  fs/locks: remove unnecessary white space.
  fs/locks: merge posix_unblock_lock() and locks_delete_block()

  fs/locks: change all *_conflict() functions to return bool.
  fs/locks: always delete_block after waiting.
  fs/locks: allow a lock request to block other requests.
  fs/locks: use properly initialized file_lock when unlocking.
  ocfs2: properly initial file_lock used for unlock.
  gfs2: properly initial file_lock used for unlock.

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.
