Linus Torvalds b91593fa85 - A few conversions from atomic_t to ref_count_t
- A DM core fix for a race during device destruction that could result
   in a BUG_ON.
 
 - A stable@ fix for a DM cache race condition that could lead to data
   corruption when operating in writeback mode (writethrough is default)
 
 - Various DM cache cleanups and improvements
 
 - Add DAX support to the DM log-writes target
 
 - A fix for the DM zoned target's ability to deal with the last zone of
   the drive being smaller than all others.
 
 - A stable@ DM crypt and DM integrity fix for a negative check that was
   to restrictive (prevented slab debug with XFS ontop of DM crypt from
   working).
 
 - A DM raid target fix for a panic that can occur when forcing a raid to
   sync.

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.
