Pull orangefs updates from Mike Marshall:
 "A fix and two cleanups.

  Fix:

   - Christoph Hellwig noticed that some logic I added to
     orangefs_file_read_iter introduced a race condition, so he sent a
     reversion patch. I had to modify his patch since reverting at this
     point broke Orangefs.

  Cleanups:

   - Christoph Hellwig noticed that we were doing some unnecessary work
     in orangefs_flush, so he sent in a patch that removed the un-needed
     code.

   - Al Viro told me he had trouble building Orangefs. Orangefs should
     be easy to build, even for Al :-).

     I looked back at the test server build notes in orangefs.txt, just
     in case that's where the trouble really is, and found a couple of
     typos and made a couple of clarifications"

* tag 'for-linus-5.7-ofs1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hubcap/linux:
  orangefs: clarify build steps for test server in orangefs.txt
  orangefs: don't mess with I_DIRTY_TIMES in orangefs_flush
  orangefs: get rid of knob code...

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.
