Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro:

 - backport-friendly part of lock_parent() race fix

 - a fix for an assumption in the heurisic used by path_connected() that
   is not true on NFS

 - livelock fixes for d_alloc_parallel()

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  fs: Teach path_connected to handle nfs filesystems with multiple roots.
  fs: dcache: Use READ_ONCE when accessing i_dir_seq
  fs: dcache: Avoid livelock between d_alloc_parallel and __d_add
  lock_parent() needs to recheck if dentry got __dentry_kill'ed under it

============

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.
