Linus Torvalds 4c205c84e2 Merge tag 'keys-fixes-20200329' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull keyrings fixes from David Howells:
 "Here's a couple of patches that fix a circular dependency between
  holding key->sem and mm->mmap_sem when reading data from a key.

  One potential issue is that a filesystem looking to use a key inside,
  say, ->readpages() could deadlock if the key being read is the key
  that's required and the buffer the key is being read into is on a page
  that needs to be fetched.

  The case actually detected is a bit more involved - with a filesystem
  calling request_key() and locking the target keyring for write - which
  could be being read"

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.
