Pull autofs updates from Al Viro:
 "The most interesting part here is getting rid of the last trylock loop
  on dentry->d_lock.

  The ones in fs/dcache.c had been dealt with several years ago, but
  there'd been leftovers in fs/autofs/expire.c"

* 'work.autofs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  autofs_lookup(): hold ->d_lock over playing with ->d_flags
  get rid of autofs_info->active_count
  autofs: simplify get_next_positive_...(), get rid of trylocks

History
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.
