Pull cifs fixes from Steve French:
"Nine cifs/smb3 fixes:
- one fix for stable (oops during oplock break)
- two timestamp fixes including important one for updating mtime at
close to avoid stale metadata caching issue on dirty files (also
improves perf by using SMB2_CLOSE_FLAG_POSTQUERY_ATTRIB over the
wire)
- two fixes for "modefromsid" mount option for file create (now
allows mode bits to be set more atomically and accurately on create
by adding "sd_context" on create when modefromsid specified on
mount)
- two fixes for multichannel found in testing this week against
different servers
- two small cleanup patches"

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.
