Linus Torvalds 1b02caa319 SCSI fixes on 20190607
Two bug fixes, both for fairly serious problems; the UFS one looks
 like it could be used to exfiltrate data from the kernel, although
 probably only a privileged user has access to the command management
 interface and the missing unlock in smartpqi is long standing and
 probably a little used error path.

README

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.
