Linus Torvalds f8cc87b6c1 Merge branch 'for-4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
 "Workqueue has an early init trick where workqueues can be created and
  work items queued on them before the workqueue subsystem is online.
  This helps simplifying early init and operation of low level
  subsystems which use workqueues for managerial things which aren't
  depended upon early during boot.

  Out of laziness, the early init didn't cover workqueues with
  WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, which is inconsistent and confusing because adding the
  flag simply makes the system fail to boot. Cover WQ_MEM_RECLAIM too.

  This was originally brought up for RCU but RCU didn't actually need
  this. I still think it's a good idea to cover it"

* 'for-4.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq:
  workqueue: allow WQ_MEM_RECLAIM on early init workqueues
  workqueue: separate out init_rescuer()

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.
