Linus Torvalds 3be20b6fc1 This is the second round of ext4 commits for 5.8 merge window. It
includes the per-inode DAX support, which was dependant on the DAX
 infrastructure which came in via the XFS tree, and a number of
 regression and bug fixes; most notably the "BUG: using
 smp_processor_id() in preemptible code in ext4_mb_new_blocks" reported
 by syzkaller.

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.
