Linus Torvalds eeee2827ae - Fix DM core to disallow stacking request-based DM on partitions.
- Fix DM raid target to properly resync raidset even if bitmap needed
   additional pages.
 
 - Fix DM crypt performance regression due to use of WQ_HIGHPRI for the
   IO and crypt workqueues.
 
 - Fix DM integrity metadata layout that was aligned on 128K boundary
   rather than the intended 4K boundary (removes 124K of wasted space for
   each metadata block).
 
 - Improve the DM thin, cache and clone targets to use spin_lock_irq
   rather than spin_lock_irqsave where possible.
 
 - Fix DM thin single thread performance that was lost due to needless
   workqueue wakeups.
 
 - Fix DM zoned target performance that was lost due to excessive backing
   device checks.
 
 - Add ability to trigger write failure with the DM dust test target.
 
 - Fix whitespace indentation in drivers/md/Kconfig.
 
 - Various smalls fixes and cleanups (e.g. use struct_size, fix
   uninitialized variable, variable renames, etc).

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.
