Linus Torvalds 4e4bdcfa21 orangefs: a fix and two cleanups and a merge conflict
Fix: Christoph Hellwig noticed that some logic I added to
      orangefs_file_read_iter introduced a race condition, so he
      sent a reversion patch. I had to modify his patch since
      reverting at this point broke Orangefs.
 
 Cleanup 1: Christoph Hellwig noticed that we were doing some unnecessary
            work in orangefs_flush, so he sent in a patch that removed
            the un-needed code.
 
 Cleanup 2: Al Viro told me he had trouble building Orangefs. Orangefs
            should be easy to build, even for Al :-). I looked back
            at the test server build notes in orangefs.txt, just in case
            that's where the trouble really is, and found a couple of
            typos and made a couple of clarifications.
 
 Merge Conflict: Stephen Rothwell reported that my modifications to
                 orangefs.txt caused a merge conflict with orangefs.rst
                 in Linux Next. I wasn't sure what to do, so I asked,
                 and Jonathan Corbet said not to worry about it and
                 just to report it to Linus.

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.
