  fs/super.c: don't fool lockdep in freeze_super() and thaw_super() paths
  fs/super.c: fix race between freeze_super() and thaw_super()
  overlayfs: Fix setting IOP_XATTR flag
  iov_iter: kernel-doc import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector()
  blackfin: no access_ok() for __copy_{to,from}_user()
  arm64: don't zero in __copy_from_user{,_inatomic}
  arm: don't zero in __copy_from_user_inatomic()/__copy_from_user()
  arc: don't leak bits of kernel stack into coredump
  alpha: get rid of tail-zeroing in __copy_user()

/**
* import_iovec() - Copy an array of &struct iovec from userspace
* into the kernel, check that it is valid, and initialize a new
* &struct iov_iter iterator to access it.
*
* @type: One of %READ or %WRITE.
* @uvector: Pointer to the userspace array.
* @nr_segs: Number of elements in userspace array.
* @fast_segs: Number of elements in @iov.
* @iov: (input and output parameter) Pointer to pointer to (usually small
* on-stack) kernel array.
* @i: Pointer to iterator that will be initialized on success.
*
* If the array pointed to by *@iov is large enough to hold all @nr_segs,
* then this function places %NULL in *@iov on return. Otherwise, a new
* array will be allocated and the result placed in *@iov. This means that
* the caller may call kfree() on *@iov regardless of whether the small
* on-stack array was used or not (and regardless of whether this function
* returns an error or not).
*
* Return: 0 on success or negative error code on error.
