Merge branch 'doc-tweaks' into docs-next
The creation of the admin and process guides is a great thing, but, without
care, we risk replacing a messy docs directory with a few messy Sphinx
books. In an attempt to head that off and show what I'm thinking, here's a
set of tweaks that, I think, make the existing Sphinx-formatted docs a bit
more accessible.

docs: Clean up and organize the admin guide a bit
The admin guide is a good start, but it's time to turn it into something
better than an unordered blob of files. This is a first step in that
direction. The TOC has been split up and annotated, the guides have been
reordered, and minor tweaks have been applied to a few of them.
One consequence of splitting up the TOC is that we don't really want to use
:numbered: anymore, since the count resets every time and there doesn't
seem to be a way to change that. Eventually we probably want to group the
documents into sub-books, at which point we can go back to a single TOC,
but it's probably early to do that.

Merge branch 'mauro-books' into docs-next
Merge Mauro's massive patch series creating the process and admin-guide
books. I think there's a lot of stuff to clean up here, but there's no
point in holding things up for that.
Mauro sez:
This patch series continues the efforts of converting the Linux Kernel
documentation to Sphinx.
It contains text to ReST conversion of several files under Documentation,
and a few ones under the main dir (README, REPORTING-BUGS).
All patches on this series can be found on my development tree:
https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git/log/?h=lkml-books-v2
The Kernel docs html output after this series can be seen at:
https://mchehab.fedorapeople.org/kernel_docs/
README: add a new README file, pointing to the Documentation/
As we moved the real README file to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst,
let's add a replacement, pointing to it, and giving the main directions
about documentation.
In the future, perhaps it would be worth to move the contents
of Documentation/00-Index into this README.
Those files got moved to Documentation/process, but as they're very
well known files, add pointers to their new locations.
PS.: I opted to not merge this patch with the previous one
in order to make the diff of the previous one more consistent,
as it will show only renames.
Adjust the readme file for it to use the ReST markup:
- add chapter/section markups;
- use ``foo`` for commands;
- use :: for verbatim and script blocks;
- replace unsupported markup _foo_ by **foo**;
- add cross-references to other ReST files;
- use lower case on the section titles, to match other ReST files.
- add a title to the document;
- use :: before verbatim blocks;
- add blank lines where required;
- use protocol for URL references;
- use a verbatim block for the bugs template;
- add cross references to SecurityBugs.

explicit mention unicode support.

fs/super.c: fix race between freeze_super() and thaw_super()
Change thaw_super() to check frozen != SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE rather than
frozen == SB_UNFROZEN, otherwise it can race with freeze_super() which
drops sb->s_umount after SB_FREEZE_WRITE to preserve the lock ordering.
In this case thaw_super() will wrongly call s_op->unfreeze_fs() before
it was actually frozen, and call sb_freeze_unlock() which leads to the
unbalanced percpu_up_write(). Unfortunately lockdep can't detect this,
so this triggers misc BUG_ON()'s in kernel/rcu/sync.c.

overlayfs: Fix setting IOP_XATTR flag
ovl_fill_super calls ovl_new_inode to create a root inode for the new
superblock before initializing sb->s_xattr. This wrongly causes
IOP_XATTR to be cleared in i_opflags of the new inode, causing SELinux
to log the following message:
SELinux: (dev overlay, type overlay) has no xattr support
Fix this by initializing sb->s_xattr and similar fields before calling
ovl_new_inode.

iov_iter: kernel-doc import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector()
Both import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector() take an array
(typically small and on-stack) which is used to hold an iovec array copy
from userspace. This is to avoid an expensive memory allocation in the
fast path (i.e. few iovec elements).
The caller may have to check whether these functions actually used
the provided buffer or allocated a new one -- but this differs between
the too. Let's just add a kernel doc to clarify what the semantics are
for each function.

"Early on in the merge window I mentioned I had a backlog of new
drivers waiting to be reviewed and that, in addition to the hns-roce
driver, I wanted to get possible a couple more reviewed. I ended up
only having the time to complete one of the additional drivers.
During Dave Miller's pull request this go around, there were a series
of 9 patches to the QLogic qed net driver that add basic support for a
paired RoCE driver. That support is currently not functional because
it is missing the matching RoCE driver in the RDMA subsystem. I
managed to finish that review. However, because it goes against part
of Dave's net pull, and a part that was accepted a day or two after
the merge window opened, to apply cleanly it has to be applied to
either the tip of Dave's net branch, or as I did in this case, I just
applied it to your master after you had taken Dave's pull request."

"This merge window was the first where Huawei had to try and coordinate
their patches between their net driver and their new roce driver
(similar to mlx4 and mlx5).
They didn't do horribly, but there were some issues (and we knew that
because they simply didn't know what to do in the beginning). As a
result, I had a set of patches that depended on some patches that
normally would have come to you via Dave's tree. Those patches have
been on netdev@ for a while, so I got Dave to give me his approval to
send them to you. As such, the other 29 patches I had behind them are
also now ready to go.
This catches the hns and hns-roce drivers up to current, and for
future patches we are working with them to get them up to speed on how
to do joint driver development so that they don't have these sorts of
cross tree dependency issues again. BTW, Dave gave me permission to
add his Acked-by: to the patches against the net tree, but I've had
this branch through 0day (but not linux-next since it was off by
itself) and I didn't want to rebase the series just to add Dave's ack
for the 8 patches in the net area.

- Small patch set for hns net driver that the roce patches depend on
- Various fixes to the hns-roce driver
- Add connection manager support to the hns-roce driver"
