To help review the patches, I annotated and highlighted changes using hypothesis

you can check the current docs:
https://hyp.is/go?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kernel.org%2Fdoc%2Fhtml%2Flatest%2Ffilesystems%2Fpath-lookup.html&group=__world__

the docs after patches applied:
https://hyp.is/go?url=http%3A%2F%2Flinux-docs.54fox.com%2Flinux_docs%2Ffilesystems%2Fpath-lookup.html&group=__world__
