Linus Torvalds cdb897e327 The highlights include:
* a large series of fixes and improvements to the snapshot-handling
    code (Zheng Yan)
 
  * individual read/write OSD requests passed down to libceph are now
    limited to 16M in size to avoid hitting OSD-side limits (Zheng Yan)
 
  * encode MStatfs v2 message to allow for more accurate space usage
    reporting (Douglas Fuller)
 
  * switch to the new writeback error tracking infrastructure (Jeff
    Layton)

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.
