Linus Torvalds a0efc03b79 - DM verity fix for crash due to using vmalloc'd buffers with the
asynchronous crypto hadsh API.
 
 - Fix to both DM crypt and DM integrity targets to discontinue using
   CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP because its use of GFP_KERNEL can lead to
   deadlock by recursing back into a filesystem.
 
 - Various DM raid fixes related to reshape and rebuild races.
 
 - Fix for DM thin-provisioning to avoid data corruption that was a
   side-effect of needing to abort DM thin metadata transaction due to
   running out of metadata space.  Fix is to reserve a small amount of
   metadata space so that once it is used the DM thin-pool can finish its
   active transaction before switching to read-only mode.

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.
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.
