Linus Torvalds 70a2dc6abc Bug fixes for ext4; most of which relate to vulnerabilities where a
maliciously crafted file system image can result in a kernel OOPS or
 hang.  At least one fix addresses an inline data bug could be
 triggered by userspace without the need of a crafted file system
 (although it does require that the inline data feature be enabled).

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.
