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.

Prior to commit a01b8f22, we would always read in the contents of a !uptodate folio prior to writing userspace data into the folio, allocated a folio state object, etc. Ritesh introduced an optimization that skips all of that if the write would cover the entire folio. Unfortunately, the optimization misses the unshare case, where we always have to read in the folio contents since there isn't a data buffer supplied by userspace. This can result in stale kernel memory exposure if userspace issues a FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE call on part of a shared file that isn't already cached. This was caught by observing fstests regressions in the "unshare around" mechanism that is used for unaligned writes to a reflinked realtime volume when the realtime extent size is larger than 1FSB, though I think it applies to any shared file.
