Linus Torvalds 2cfa582be8 - Various DM persistent-data library improvements and fixes that
benefit both the DM thinp and cache targets.
 
 - A few small DM kcopyd efficiency improvements.
 
 - Significant zoned related block core, DM core and DM zoned target
   changes that culminate with adding zoned append emulation (which is
   required to properly fix DM crypt's zoned support).
 
 - Various DM writecache target changes that improve efficiency. Adds
   an optional "metadata_only" feature that only promotes bios flagged
   with REQ_META. But the most significant improvement is writecache's
   ability to pause writeback, for a confiurable time, if/when the
   working set is larger than the cache (and the cache is full) -- this
   ensures performance is no worse than the slower origin device.

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 Restructured Text 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.
