Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
 "This cycle addresses a reported permission issue with overlay due to a
  duplicated permission check for "trusted." xattrs. Also, a REQ_RAHEAD
  flag is added now to all readahead requests in order to trace
  readahead I/Os. The others are random cleanups.

  All commits have been tested and have been in linux-next as well.

  Summary:

   - fix an issue which can cause overlay permission problem due to
     duplicated permission check for "trusted." xattrs;

   - add REQ_RAHEAD flag to readahead requests for blktrace;

   - several random cleanup"

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.
