Patch series "Coda updates". The following patch series is a collection of various fixes for Coda, most of which were collected from linux-fsdevel or linux-kernel but which have as yet not found their way upstream. This patch (of 22): Various file systems expect that vma->vm_file points at their own file handle, several use file_inode(vma->vm_file) to get at their inode or use vma->vm_file->private_data. However the way Coda wrapped mmap on a host file broke this assumption, vm_file was still pointing at the Coda file and the host file systems would scribble over Coda's inode and private file data. This patch fixes the incorrect expectation and wraps vm_ops->open and vm_ops->close to allow Coda to track when the vm_area_struct is destroyed so we still release the reference on the Coda file handle at the right time.

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.
