Linus Torvalds 1731a47444 - A few DM integrity fixes that improve performance. One that address
inefficiencies in the on-disk journal device layout.  Another that
   makes use of the block layer's on-stack plugging when writing the
   journal.
 
 - A dm-bufio fix for the blk_status_t conversion that went in during the
   merge window.
 
 - A few DM raid fixes that address correctness when suspending the
   device and a validation fix for validation that occurs during device
   activation.
 
 - A couple DM zoned target fixes.  Important one being the fix to not
   use GFP_KERNEL in the IO path due to concerns about deadlock in
   low-memory conditions (e.g. swap over a DM zoned device, etc).
 
 - A DM DAX device fix to make sure dm_dax_flush() is called if the
   underlying DAX device is operating as a write cache.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
