David Howells 169379eaef cachefiles: Mark a backing file in use with an inode flag Use an inode flag, S_KERNEL_FILE, to mark that a backing file is in use by the kernel to prevent cachefiles or other kernel services from interfering with that file. Using S_SWAPFILE instead isn't really viable as that has other effects in the I/O paths.

README

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.
