Merge tag 'for-linus-5.7-ofs1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hubcap/linux
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...
