Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "A fair amount of stuff this time around, dominated by yet another
  massive set from Mauro toward the completion of the RST conversion. I
  *really* hope we are getting close to the end of this. Meanwhile,
  those patches reach pretty far afield to update document references
  around the tree; there should be no actual code changes there. There
  will be, alas, more of the usual trivial merge conflicts.

  Beyond that we have more translations, improvements to the sphinx
  scripting, a number of additions to the sysctl documentation, and lots
  of fixes"

docs: filesystems: convert configfs.txt to ReST

2020-05-05T15:23:25+00:00

- Add a SPDX header;
- Adjust document and section titles;
- Use copyright symbol;
- Some whitespace fixes and new line breaks;
- Mark literal blocks as such;
- Add it to filesystems/index.rst.

Also, as this file is alone on its own dir, and it doesn't
seem too likely that other documents will follow it, let's
move it to the filesystems/ root documentation dir.

configfs: fix config_item refcnt leak in configfs_rmdir()

2020-04-27T06:17:10+00:00

configfs_rmdir() invokes configfs_get_config_item(), which returns a
reference of the specified config_item object to "parent_item" with
increased refcnt.

When configfs_rmdir() returns, local variable "parent_item" becomes
invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.

The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of
configfs_rmdir(). When down_write_killable() fails, the function forgets
to decrease the refcnt increased by configfs_get_config_item(), causing
a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by calling config_item_put() when down_write_killable()
fails.

utimes: Clamp the timestamps in notify_change()

2019-12-09T00:10:50+00:00

Push clamping timestamps into notify_change(), so in-kernel
callers like nfsd and overlayfs will get similar timestamp
set behavior as utimes.

AV: get rid of clamping in ->setattr() instances; we don't need
to bother with that there, with notify_change() doing normalization
in all cases now (it already did for implicit case, since current_time()
clamps).

configfs: calculate the depth of parent item

2019-11-06T17:36:01+00:00

When create symbolic link, create_link should calculate the depth
of the parent item. However, both the first and second parameters
of configfs_get_target_path had been set to the target. Broken
symbolic link created.

Pull y2038 vfs updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Add inode timestamp clamping.

  This series from Deepa Dinamani adds a per-superblock minimum/maximum
  timestamp limit for a file system, and clamps timestamps as they are
  written, to avoid random behavior from integer overflow as well as
  having different time stamps on disk vs in memory.

  At mount time, a warning is now printed for any file system that can
  represent current timestamps but not future timestamps more than 30
  years into the future, similar to the arbitrary 30 year limit that was
  added to settimeofday().

  This was picked as a compromise to warn users to migrate to other file
  systems (e.g. ext4 instead of ext3) when they need the file system to
  survive beyond 2038 (or similar limits in other file systems), but not
  get in the way of normal usage"
