Linus Torvalds 3abc3ae553 9p-for-5.19-rc4: fid refcount and fscache fixes
This contains a couple of fixes:
  - fid refcounting was incorrect in some corner cases and would
 leak resources, only freed at umount time. The first three commits
 fix three such cases
  - cache=loose or fscache was broken when trying to write a partial
 page to a file with no read permission since the rework a few releases
 ago. The fix taken here is just to restore old behavior of using the
 special 'writeback_fid' for such reads, which is open as root/RDWR
 and such not get complains that we try to read on a WRONLY fid.
 Long-term it'd be nice to get rid of this and not issue the read at
 all (skip cache?) in such cases, but that direction hasn't progressed

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.
