Chandan Babu R 067d3f7100 xfs: move orphan files to lost and found [v30.3 10/16]
Orphaned files are defined to be files with nonzero ondisk link count
 but no observable parent directory.  This series enables online repair
 to reparent orphaned files into the filesystem directory tree, and wires
 up this reparenting ability into the directory, file link count, and
 parent pointer repair functions.  This is how we fix files with positive
 link count that are not reachable through the directory tree.
 
 This patch will also create the orphanage directory (lost+found) if it
 is not present.  In contrast to xfs_repair, we follow e2fsck in creating
 the lost+found without group or other-owner access to avoid accidental
 disclosure of files that were previously hidden by an 0700 directory.
 That's silly security, but people have been known to do it.
 
 This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems.  Enjoy!

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 reStructuredText 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.
