Pull io_uring async discard support from Jens Axboe:
 "Sitting on top of both the 6.12 block and io_uring core branches,
  here's support for async discard through io_uring.

  This allows applications to issue async discards, rather than rely on
  the blocking sync ioctl discards we already have. The sync support is
  difficult to use outside of idle/cleanup periods.

  On a real (but slow) device, testing shows the following results when
  compared to sync discard:

	qd64 sync discard: 21K IOPS, lat avg 3 msec (max 21 msec)
	qd64 async discard: 76K IOPS, lat avg 845 usec (max 2.2 msec)

	qd64 sync discard: 14K IOPS, lat avg 5 msec (max 25 msec)
	qd64 async discard: 56K IOPS, lat avg 1153 usec (max 3.6 msec)

  and synthetic null_blk testing with the same queue depth and block
  size settings as above shows:

	Type    Trim size       IOPS    Lat avg (usec)  Lat Max (usec)
	==============================================================
	sync    4k               144K       444            20314
	async   4k              1353K        47              595
	sync    1M                56K      1136            21031
	async   1M                94K       680              760"

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.
