Linus Torvalds 4f8b6f25eb - Add a dm-crypt optional "high_priority" flag that enables the crypt
workqueues to use WQ_HIGHPRI.
 
 - Export dm-crypt workqueues via sysfs (by enabling WQ_SYSFS) to allow
   for improved visibility and controls over IO and crypt workqueues.
 
 - Fix dm-crypt to no longer constrain max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE.
   This limit isn't needed given that the block core provides late bio
   splitting if bio exceeds underlying limits (e.g. max_segment_size).
 
 - Fix dm-crypt crypt_queue's use of WQ_UNBOUND to not use
   WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE because it is meaningless with WQ_UNBOUND.
 
 - Fix various issues with dm-delay target (ranging from a resource
   teardown fix, a fix for hung task when using kthread mode, and other
   improvements that followed from code inspection).

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 reStructuredText 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.
