David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> says:
Here are some miscellaneous fixes and changes for netfslib and the ceph and
nfs filesystems:
(1) Ignore silly-rename files from afs and nfs when building the header
archive in a kernel build.
(2) netfs: Fix the way read result collection applies results to folios
when each folio is being read by multiple subrequests and the results
come out of order.
(3) netfs: Fix ENOMEM handling in buffered reads.
(4) nfs: Fix an oops in nfs_netfs_init_request() when copying to the cache.
(5) cachefiles: Parse the "secctx" command immediately to get the correct
error rather than leaving it to the "bind" command.
(6) netfs: Remove a redundant smp_rmb(). This isn't a bug per se and
could be deferred.
(7) netfs: Fix missing barriers by using clear_and_wake_up_bit().
(8) netfs: Work around recursion in read retry by failing and abandoning
the retried subrequest if no I/O is performed.
[!] NOTE: This only works around the recursion problem if the
recursion keeps returning no data. If the server manages, say, to
repeatedly return a single byte of data faster than the retry
algorithm can complete, it will still recurse and the stack
overrun may still occur. Actually fixing this requires quite an
intrusive change which will hopefully make the next merge window.
(9) netfs: Fix the clearance of a folio_queue when unlocking the page if
we're going to want to subsequently send the queue for copying to the
cache (if, for example, we're using ceph).
(10) netfs: Fix the lack of cancellation of copy-to-cache when the cache
for a file is temporarily disabled (for example when a DIO write is
done to the file). This patch and (9) fix hangs with ceph.
With these patches, I can run xfstest -g quick to completion on ceph with a
local cache.
The patches can also be found here with a bonus cifs patch:

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 reStructuredText 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.
