Linus Torvalds e6e6ec48dd fscrypt fix for v5.6-rc6
Fix a bug where if userspace is writing to encrypted files while the
 FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl (introduced in v5.4) is running,
 dirty inodes could be evicted, causing writes could be lost or the
 filesystem to hang due to a use-after-free.  This was encountered during
 real-world use, not just theoretical.
 
 Tested with the existing fscrypt xfstests, and with a new xfstest I
 wrote to reproduce this bug.  This fix does expose an existing bug with
 '-o lazytime' that Ted is working on fixing, but this fix is more
 critical and needed anyway regardless of the lazytime fix.

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.
