Linus Torvalds 4ac1800f81 We decided to request the latest three patches to be merged into this
merge window while it's still open.
 
 1. The first patch adds a new function to lockref: lockref_put_not_zero
 2. The second patch fixes GFS2's glock dump code so it uses the new lockref
    function. This fixes a problem whereby lock dumps could miss glocks.
 3. I made a minor patch to update some comments and fix the lock ordering
    text in our gfs2-glocks.txt Documentation file.

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.
