* Finish removing the custom 9p request cache mechanism
  * Embed part of the fcall in the request to have better slab
 performance (msize usually is power of two aligned)
  * syzkaller fixes:
   - add a refcount to 9p requests to avoid use after free
   - a few double free issues
  * A few coverity fixes
  * Some old patches that were in the bugzilla:
   - do not trust pdu content for size header

Merge tag '9p-for-4.20' of git://github.com/martinetd/linux

Pull 9p updates from Dominique Martinet:
 "Highlights this time around are the end of Matthew's work to remove
  the custom 9p request cache and use a slab directly for requests, with
  some extra patches on my end to not degrade performance, but it's a
  very good cleanup.

  Tomas and I fixed a few more syzkaller bugs (refcount is the big one),
  and I had a go at the coverity bugs and at some of the bugzilla
  reports we had open for a while.

  I'm a bit disappointed that I couldn't get much reviews for a few of
  my own patches, but the big ones got some and it's all been soaking in
  linux-next for quite a while so I think it should be OK.

  Summary:

   - Finish removing the custom 9p request cache mechanism

   - Embed part of the fcall in the request to have better slab
     performance (msize usually is power of two aligned)

   - syzkaller fixes:
      * add a refcount to 9p requests to avoid use after free
      * a few double free issues

   - A few coverity fixes

   - Some old patches that were in the bugzilla:
      * do not trust pdu content for size header
      * mount option for lock retry interval"

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.
