Linus Torvalds f3b17337b9 Merge tag 'vfs-6.18-rc8.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:

 - afs: Fix delayed allocation of a cell's anonymous key

   The allocation of a cell's anonymous key is done in a background
   thread along with other cell setup such as doing a DNS upcall. The
   normal key lookup tries to use the key description on the anonymous
   authentication key as the reference for request_key() - but it may
   not yet be set, causing an oops

 - ovl: fail ovl_lock_rename_workdir() if either target is unhashed

   As well as checking that the parent hasn't changed after getting the
   lock, the code needs to check that the dentry hasn't been unhashed.
   Otherwise overlayfs might try to rename something that has been
   removed

 - namespace: fix a reference leak in grab_requested_mnt_ns

   lookup_mnt_ns() already takes a reference on mnt_ns, and so
   grab_requested_mnt_ns() doesn't need to take an extra reference

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 reStructuredText 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.
