Linus Torvalds cab7076a18 For this cycle we add support for the shutdown ioctl, which is
primarily used for testing, but which can be useful on production
 systems when a scratch volume is being destroyed and the data on it
 doesn't need to be saved.  This found (and we fixed) a number of bugs
 with ext4's recovery to corrupted file system --- the bugs increased
 the amount of data that could be potentially lost, and in the case of
 the inline data feature, could cause the kernel to BUG.
 
 Also included are a number of other bug fixes, including in ext4's
 fscrypt, DAX, inline data support.

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.
