Linus Torvalds 5084fdf081 This merge request includes the dax-4.0-iomap-pmd branch which is
needed for both ext4 and xfs dax changes to use iomap for DAX.  It
 also includes the fscrypt branch which is needed for ubifs encryption
 work as well as ext4 encryption and fscrypt cleanups.
 
 Lots of cleanups and bug fixes, especially making sure ext4 is robust
 against maliciously corrupted file systems --- especially maliciously
 corrupted xattr blocks and a maliciously corrupted superblock.  Also
 fix ext4 support for 64k block sizes so it works well on ppcle.  Fixed
 mbcache so we don't miss some common xattr blocks that can be merged.

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.
