Linus Torvalds 37187df45a New code for 5.10:
- Don't WARN_ON weird states that unprivileged users can create.
 - Don't invalidate page cache when direct writes want to fall back to
   buffered.
 - Fix some problems when readahead ios fail.
 - Fix a problem where inline data pages weren't getting flushed during
   an unshare operation.
 - Rework iomap to support arbitrarily many blocks per page in
   preparation to support THP for the page cache.
 - Fix a bug in the blocksize < pagesize buffered io path where we could
   fail to initialize the many-blocks-per-page uptodate bitmap correctly
   when the backing page is actually up to date.  This could cause us to
   forget to write out dirty pages.
 - Split out the generic_write_sync at the end of the directio write path
   so that btrfs can drop the inode lock before sync'ing the file.
 - Call inode_dio_end before trying to sync the file after a O_DSYNC
   direct write (instead of afterwards) to match the behavior of the
   old directio code.

Pull iomap updates from Darrick Wong:
 "There's not a lot of new stuff going on here -- a little bit of code
  refactoring to make iomap workable with btrfs' fsync locking model,
  cleanups in preparation for adding THP support for filesystems, and
  fixing a data corruption issue for blocksize < pagesize filesystems.

  Summary:

   - Don't WARN_ON weird states that unprivileged users can create.

   - Don't invalidate page cache when direct writes want to fall back to
     buffered.

   - Fix some problems when readahead ios fail.

   - Fix a problem where inline data pages weren't getting flushed
     during an unshare operation.

   - Rework iomap to support arbitrarily many blocks per page in
     preparation to support THP for the page cache.

   - Fix a bug in the blocksize < pagesize buffered io path where we
     could fail to initialize the many-blocks-per-page uptodate bitmap
     correctly when the backing page is actually up to date. This could
     cause us to forget to write out dirty pages.

   - Split out the generic_write_sync at the end of the directio write
     path so that btrfs can drop the inode lock before sync'ing the
     file.

   - Call inode_dio_end before trying to sync the file after a O_DSYNC
     direct write (instead of afterwards) to match the behavior of the
     old directio code"

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.
