Linus Torvalds deb9acc122 A large number of cleanups and bug fixes, with many of the bug fixes
found by Syzbot and fuzzing.  (Many of the bug fixes involve less-used
 ext4 features such as fast_commit, inline_data and bigalloc.)
 
 In addition, remove the writepage function for ext4, since the
 medium-term plan is to remove ->writepage() entirely.  (The VM doesn't
 need or want writepage() for writeback, since it is fine with
 ->writepages() so long as ->migrate_folio() is implemented.)

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.
