Linus Torvalds 2bd99df54f We've only got 9 GFS2 patches for this merge window:
1. Abhi Das contributed a patch to report journal recovery times more
    accurately during journal replay.
 2. Andreas Gruenbacher contributed a patch to fix fallocate chunk size.
 3. Andreas added a patch to correctly dirty inodes during rename.
 4. Andreas added a patch to improve the comment for function gfs2_block_map.
 5. Andreas added a patch to improve kernel trace point iomap end:
    The physical block address was added.
 6. Andreas added a patch to fix a nasty file system corruption bug that
    surfaced in xfstests 476 in punch-hole/truncate.
 7. Andreas fixed a problem Christoph Helwig pointed out, namely, that GFS2
    was misusing the IOMAP_ZERO flag. The zeroing of new blocks was moved
    to the proper fallocate code.
 8. I contributed a patch to declare function gfs2_remove_from_ail as static.
 9. I added a patch to only set PageChecked for jdata page writes.

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.
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.
