Linus Torvalds f2125992e7 Changes since last update:
- Enhance inode fork verifiers to prevent loading of corrupted metadata.
 - Fix a crash when we try to convert extents format inodes to btree
   format, we run out of space, but forget to revert the in-core state
   changes.
 - Fix file size checks when doing INSERT_RANGE that could cause files
   to end up negative size if there previously was an extent mapped at
   s_maxbytes.
 - Fix a bug when doing a remove-then-add ATTR_REPLACE xattr update where
   we forget to clear ATTR_REPLACE after the remove, which causes the
   attr to be lost and the fs to shut down due to (what it thinks is)
   inconsistent in-core state.

Merge tag 'xfs-4.17-fixes-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

Pull xfs fixes from Darrick Wong:
 "Here are a few more bug fixes for xfs for 4.17-rc4. Most of them are
  fixes for bad behavior.

  This series has been run through a full xfstests run during LSF and
  through a quick xfstests run against this morning's master, with no
  major failures reported.

  Summary:

   - Enhance inode fork verifiers to prevent loading of corrupted
     metadata.

   - Fix a crash when we try to convert extents format inodes to btree
     format, we run out of space, but forget to revert the in-core state
     changes.

   - Fix file size checks when doing INSERT_RANGE that could cause files
     to end up negative size if there previously was an extent mapped at
     s_maxbytes.

   - Fix a bug when doing a remove-then-add ATTR_REPLACE xattr update
     where we forget to clear ATTR_REPLACE after the remove, which
     causes the attr to be lost and the fs to shut down due to (what it
     thinks is) inconsistent in-core state"

* tag 'xfs-4.17-fixes-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux:
  xfs: don't fail when converting shortform attr to long form during ATTR_REPLACE
  xfs: prevent creating negative-sized file via INSERT_RANGE
  xfs: set format back to extents if xfs_bmap_extents_to_btree
  xfs: enhance dinode verifier

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
