Linus Torvalds cffd425b90 - Fix DM crypt's parsing of extended IV arguments.
- Fix DM thinp's discard passdown to properly account for extra
   reference that is taken to guard against reallocating a block before a
   discard has been issued.
 
 - Fix bio-based DM's redundant IO accounting that was occurring for bios
   that must be split due to the nature of the DM target (e.g. dm-stripe,
   dm-thinp, etc).

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.
