Linus Torvalds 3d198e42ce gfs2 fixes
* To avoid deadlocks, actively cancel dlm locking requests when we give
   up on them.  Further dlm operations on the same lock will return
   -EBUSY until the cancel has been completed, so in that case, wait and
   repeat.  (This is rare.)
 * Lock inversion fixes in gfs2_inode_lookup() and gfs2_create_inode().
 * Some more fallout from the gfs2 mmap + page fault deadlock fixes
   (merge c03098d4b9).
 * Various other minor bug fixes and cleanups.

Merge tag 'gfs2-v5.17-rc4-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gfs2/linux-gfs2

Pull gfs2 fixes from Andreas Gruenbacher:

 - To avoid deadlocks, actively cancel dlm locking requests when we give
   up on them.

   Further dlm operations on the same lock will return -EBUSY until the
   cancel has been completed, so in that case, wait and repeat. (This is
   rare.)

 - Lock inversion fixes in gfs2_inode_lookup() and gfs2_create_inode().

 - Some more fallout from the gfs2 mmap + page fault deadlock fixes
   (merged in commit c03098d4b9: "Merge tag 'gfs2-v5.15-rc5-mmap-fault'").

 - Various other minor bug fixes and cleanups.

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.
