Linus Torvalds 82f0a41e19 NFS client bugfixes and latency improvements for Linux 4.16
Hightlights include:
 
 Stable fixes:
 - Fix an incorrect calculation of the RDMA send scatter gather element limit
 - Fix an Oops when attempting to free resources after RDMA device removal
 
 Bugfixes:
 - SUNRPC: Ensure we always release the TCP socket in a timely fashion when
   the connection is shut down.
 - SUNRPC: Don't call __UDPX_INC_STATS() from a preemptible context
 
 Latency/Performance:
 - SUNRPC: Queue latency sensitive socket tasks to the less contended
   xprtiod queue
 - SUNRPC: Make the xprtiod workqueue unbounded.
 - SUNRPC: Make the rpciod workqueue unbounded

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.
