Linus Torvalds 66ba772ee3 Merge branch 'for-4.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux
Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "The changes range through all types: cleanups, core chagnes, sanity
  checks, fixes, other user visible changes, detailed list below:

   - deprecated: user transaction ioctl

   - mount option ssd does not change allocation alignments

   - degraded read-write mount is allowed if all the raid profile
     constraints are met, now based on more accurate check

   - defrag: do not reset compression afterwards; the NOCOMPRESS flag
     can be now overriden by defrag

   - prep work for better extent reference tracking (related to the
     qgroup slowness with balance)

   - prep work for compression heuristics

   - memory allocation reductions (may help latencies on a loaded
     system)

   - better accounting for io waiting states

   - error handling improvements (removed BUGs)

   - added more sanity checks for shared refs

   - fix readdir vs pagefault deadlock under some circumstances

   - fix for 'no-hole' mode, certain combination of compressed and
     inline extents

   - send: fix emission of invalid clone operations

   - fixup file mode if setting acls fail

   - more fixes from fuzzing

   - oher cleanups"

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.
