Linus Torvalds 3e968c9f14 Cleanups and bugfixes for ext4, including some fixes to make ext4 more
robust against maliciously crafted file system images.  (I still don't
 recommend that container folks hold any delusions that mounting
 arbitary images that can be crafted by malicious attackers should be
 considered sane thing to do, though!)

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.
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.
