Linus Torvalds 0bc9bc1d8b A number of bug fixes for ext4:
* For the new fast_commit feature
    * Fix some error handling codepaths in whiteout handling and
      mountpoint sampling
    * Fix how we write ext4_error information so it goes through the journal
      when journalling is active, to avoid races that can lead to lost
      error information, superblock checksum failures, or DIF/DIX features.

README

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.
