Add VFS helpers to submit async iocbs. - Fix a regression in lseek(2) introduced in v4.19 that breaks >2G seeks on 32bit kernels. - Fix a corner case where st_ino/st_dev was not preserved across copy up. - Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups. * tag 'ovl-update-5.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs: ovl: fix lseek overflow on 32bit ovl: add splice file read write helper ovl: implement async IO routines vfs: add vfs_iocb_iter_[read|write] helper functions ovl: layer is const ovl: fix corner case of non-constant st_dev;st_ino ovl: fix corner case of conflicting lower layer uuid ovl: generalize the lower_fs[] array ovl: simplify ovl_same_sb() helper ovl: generalize the lower_layers[] array ovl: improving copy-up efficiency for big sparse file ovl: use ovl_inode_lock in ovl_llseek() ovl: use pr_fmt auto generate prefix ovl: fix wrong WARN_ON() in ovl_cache_update_ino()
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.
