Linus Torvalds e5f76a2e0e Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull mnt namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "A big break-through came during this development cycle as a way was
  found to maintain the existing umount -l semantics while allowing for
  optimizations that improve the performance. That is represented by the
  first change in this series moving the reparenting of mounts into
  their own pass. This has allowed addressing the horrific performance
  of umount -l on a carefully crafted tree of mounts with locks held
  (0.06s vs 60s in my testing). What allowed this was not changing where
  umounts propagate to while propgating umounts.

  The next change fixes the case where the order of the mount whose
  umount are being progated visits a tree where the mounts are stacked
  upon each other in another order. This is weird but not hard to
  implement.

  The final change takes advantage of the unchanging mount propgation
  tree to skip parts of the mount propgation tree that have already been
  visited. Yielding a very nice speed up in the worst case.

  There remains one outstanding question about the semantics of umount -l
  that I am still discussiong with Ram Pai. In practice that area of the
  semantics was changed by 1064f874ab ("mnt: Tuck mounts under others
  instead of creating shadow/side mounts.") and no regressions have been
  reported. Still I intend to finish talking that out with him to ensure
  there is not something a more intense use of mount propagation in the
  future will not cause to become significant"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  mnt: Make propagate_umount less slow for overlapping mount propagation trees
  mnt: In propgate_umount handle visiting mounts in any order
  mnt: In umount propagation reparent in a separate pass

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.
