Darrick J. Wong 4b5bd5bf3f xfs: fix toctou race when locking an inode to access the data map
We use di_format and if_flags to decide whether we're grabbing the ilock
in btree mode (btree extents not loaded) or shared mode (anything else),
but the state of those fields can be changed by other threads that are
also trying to load the btree extents -- IFEXTENTS gets set before the
_bmap_read_extents call and cleared if it fails.

We don't actually need to have IFEXTENTS set until after the bmbt
records are successfully loaded and validated, which will fix the race
between multiple threads trying to read the same directory.  The next
patch strengthens directory bmbt validation by refusing to open the
directory if reading the bmbt to start directory readahead fails.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
