This makes getdents() and getdents64() do sanity checking on the pathname that it gives to user space. And to mitigate the performance impact of that, it first cleans up the way it does the user copying, so that the code avoids doing the SMAP/PAN updates between each part of the dirent structure write. I really wanted to do this during the merge window, but didn't have time. The conversion of filldir to unsafe_put_user() is something I've had around for years now in a private branch, but the extra pathname checking finally made me clean it up to the point where it is mergable. It's worth noting that the filename validity checking really should be a bit smarter: it would be much better to delay the error reporting until the end of the readdir, so that non-corrupted filenames are still returned. But that involves bigger changes, so let's see if anybody actually hits the corrupt directory entry case before worrying about it further. * branch 'readdir': Make filldir[64]() verify the directory entry filename is valid Convert filldir[64]() from __put_user() to unsafe_put_user() |

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.
