Linus Torvalds 227c4d507c f2fs-for-5.14-rc1
In this round, we've improved the compression support especially for Android
 such as allowing compression for mmap files, replacing the immutable bit with
 internal bit to prohibits data writes explicitly, and adding a mount option,
 "compress_cache", to improve random reads. And, we added "readonly" feature to
 compact the partition w/ compression enabled, which will be useful for Android
 RO partitions.
 
 Enhancement:
  - support compression for mmap file
  - use an f2fs flag instead of IMMUTABLE bit for compression
  - support RO feature w/ extent_cache
  - fully support swapfile with file pinning
  - improve atgc tunability
  - add nocompress extensions to unselect files for compression
 
 Bug fix:
  - fix false alaram on iget failure during GC
  - fix race condition on global pointers when there are multiple f2fs instances
  - add MODULE_SOFTDEP for initramfs
 
 As usual, we've also cleaned up some places for better code readability.
 (e.g., sysfs/feature, debugging messages, slab cache name, and docs)

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.
