Linus Torvalds 1cf55613a6 All stable@ fixes:
- Fix DM thinp btree corruption seen when inserting a new key/value pair
   into a full root node.
 
 - Fix DM thinp btree removal deadlock due to artificially low number of
   allowed concurrent locks allowed.
 
 - Fix possible DM crypt corruption if kernel keyring service is used.
   Only affects ciphers using following IVs: essiv, lmk and tcw.
 
 - Two DM crypt device initialization error checking fixes.
 
 - Fix DM integrity to allow use of async ciphers that require DMA.

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.
