Linus Torvalds e034d9cbf9 Fixes for 5.16-rc4:
- Fix a data corruption vector that can result from the ro remount
    process failing to clear all speculative preallocations from files
    and the rw remount process not noticing the incomplete cleanup.

Pull xfs fix from Darrick Wong:
 "This fixes a race between a readonly remount process and other
  processes that hold a file IOLOCK on files that previously experienced
  copy on write, that could result in severe filesystem corruption if
  the filesystem is then remounted rw.

  I think this is fairly rare (since the only reliable reproducer I have
  that fits the second criteria is the experimental xfs_scrub program),
  but the race is clear, so we still need to fix this.

  Summary:

   - Fix a data corruption vector that can result from the ro remount
     process failing to clear all speculative preallocations from files
     and the rw remount process not noticing the incomplete cleanup"

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.
