mainlining shenanigans
Go to file
Linus Torvalds 2b0a80b0d0 The highlights are:
- rbd will now ignore discards that aren't aligned and big enough to
   actually free up some space (myself).  This is controlled by the new
   alloc_size map option and can be disabled if needed.
 
 - support for rbd deep-flatten feature (myself).  Deep-flatten allows
   "rbd flatten" to fully disconnect the clone image and its snapshots
   from the parent and make the parent snapshot removable.
 
 - a new round of cap handling improvements (Zheng Yan).  The kernel
   client should now be much more prompt about releasing its caps and
   it is possible to put a limit on the number of caps held.
 
 - support for getting ceph.dir.pin extended attribute (Zheng Yan)

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.
