Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
"The most noticeable feature for this cycle is per-CPU kthread
decompression since Android use cases need low-latency I/O handling in
order to ensure the app runtime performance, currently unbounded
workqueue latencies are not quite good for production on many aarch64
hardwares and thus we need to introduce a deterministic expectation
for these. Decompression is CPU-intensive and it is sleepable for
EROFS, so other alternatives like decompression under softirq contexts
are not considered. More details are in the corresponding commit
message.
Others are random cleanups around the whole codebase and we will
continue to clean up further in the next few months.
Due to Lunar New Year holidays, some other new features were not
completely reviewed and solidified as expected and we may delay them
into the next version.
Summary:
- Add per-cpu kthreads for low-latency decompression for Android use
cases
- Get rid of tagged pointer helpers since they are rarely used now
- Several code cleanups to reduce codebase
- Documentation and MAINTAINERS updates"

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.
