Linus Torvalds 0bae60fcee There are two major achievements for MMC in this release, which deserves to be
specially highlighted.
 
 First, we have converted the MMC block device from using the legacy blk
 interface into using the modern blkmq interface. Not only do we get all the
 nice effects from using blkmq, but it also means that new fresh nice code
 replaces old rusty code. Great news to everybody that cares about MMC/SD!
 
 It should also be noted that converting to blkmq has not been trivial, mostly
 because of that we have been carrying too much of MMC specific optimizations
 for the I/O request path, rather than striving to move these to the generic blk
 layer. Hopefully we won't be doing that mistake, ever again.
 
 Special thanks to Adrian Hunter (Intel) and to Linus Walleij (Linaro), who both
 have been working on this for quite some time!
 
 Second, on top of the blkmq deployment, we have enabled full support the eMMC
 command queuing feature, introduced in the eMMC v.5.1 spec. This also includes
 an implementation of a host driver library, supporting the corresponding CQHCI
 HW. Ideally, those controllers that supports CQHCI should only need some minor
 adaptations to make this play.
 
 So far the sdhci-pci driver for the Intel GLKs and the sdhci-of-arasan driver
 used on Rockchip RK3399, have enabled support for eMMC command queueing.
 
 Worth to highlight is also that, implementing the eMMC command queuing support
 has been a collaborative effort, as several people from Codeaurora, Rockchip,
 Intel and Linaro have been involved. However, the work has been driven by
 Adrian Hunter (Intel).
 
 In some shadow of the above, here are the rest of the highlights:
 
 MMC core:
  - Don't remove non-removable cards during system suspend
  - Add a slot-gpio helper to check capability of GPIO WP detection
 
 MMC host:
  - sdhci: Cleanups and improvements of some wakeup related code
  - sdhci-pci-arasan: New variant to support Arasan PCI HW with integrated phy
  - sdhci-acpi: Avoid broken UHS transfer modes on Intel CHT
  - sdhci-acpi: Add support for ACPI HID of AMD Controller with HS400
  - sdhci_f_sdh30: Add ACPI support
  - sdhci-esdhc-imx: Enable/disable clock at runtime suspend/resume
  - sdhci-of-esdhc: A few minor fixes
  - mmci: Add support for new STM32 variant
  - renesas_sdhi: enable R-Car D3 (r8a77995) support
  - tmio/renesas_sdhi: Re-structuring, cleanups and modernizations

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
