Linus Torvalds 89fd915c40 libnvdimm for 4.14
* Media error handling support in the Block Translation Table (BTT)
   driver is reworked to address sleeping-while-atomic locking and
   memory-allocation-context conflicts.
 
 * The dax_device lookup overhead for xfs and ext4 is moved out of the
   iomap hot-path to a mount-time lookup.
 
 * A new 'ecc_unit_size' sysfs attribute is added to advertise the
   read-modify-write boundary property of a persistent memory range.
 
 * Preparatory fix-ups for arm and powerpc pmem support are included
   along with other miscellaneous fixes.

Pull libnvdimm from Dan Williams:
 "A rework of media error handling in the BTT driver and other updates.
  It has appeared in a few -next releases and collected some late-
  breaking build-error and warning fixups as a result.

  Summary:

   - Media error handling support in the Block Translation Table (BTT)
     driver is reworked to address sleeping-while-atomic locking and
     memory-allocation-context conflicts.

   - The dax_device lookup overhead for xfs and ext4 is moved out of the
     iomap hot-path to a mount-time lookup.

   - A new 'ecc_unit_size' sysfs attribute is added to advertise the
     read-modify-write boundary property of a persistent memory range.

   - Preparatory fix-ups for arm and powerpc pmem support are included
     along with other miscellaneous fixes"

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.
