Merge tag '5.1-rc-smb3' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6

Pull more smb3 updates from Steve French:
 "Various tracing and debugging improvements, crediting fixes, some
  cleanup, and important fallocate fix (fixes three xfstests) and lock
  fix.

  Summary:

   - Various additional dynamic tracing tracepoints

   - Debugging improvements (including ability to query the server via
     SMB3 fsctl from userspace tools which can help with stats and
     debugging)

   - One minor performance improvement (root directory inode caching)

   - Crediting (SMB3 flow control) fixes

   - Some cleanup (docs and to mknod)

   - Important fixes: one to smb3 implementation of fallocate zero range
     (which fixes three xfstests) and a POSIX lock fix"

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.
