Linus Torvalds b284d4d5a6 The big ticket items are:
- support for rbd "fancy" striping (myself).  The striping feature bit
   is now fully implemented, allowing mapping v2 images with non-default
   striping patterns.  This completes support for --image-format 2.
 
 - CephFS quota support (Luis Henriques and Zheng Yan).  This set is
   based on the new SnapRealm code in the upcoming v13.y.z ("Mimic")
   release.  Quota handling will be rejected on older filesystems.
 
 - memory usage improvements in CephFS (Chengguang Xu).  Directory
   specific bits have been split out of ceph_file_info and some effort
   went into improving cap reservation code to avoid OOM crashes.
 
 Also included a bunch of assorted fixes all over the place from
 Chengguang and others.

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.
