Linus Torvalds 4815519ed0 - Improve DM core's bio splitting to use blk_max_size_offset(). Also
fix bio splitting for bios that were deferred to the worker thread
   due to a DM device being suspended.
 
 - Remove DM core's special handling of NVMe devices now that block
   core has internalized efficiencies drivers previously needed to
   be concerned about (via now removed direct_make_request).
 
 - Fix request-based DM to not bounce through indirect dm_submit_bio;
   instead have block core make direct call to blk_mq_submit_bio().
 
 - Various DM core cleanups to simplify and improve code.
 
 - Update DM cryot to not use drivers that set
   CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY.
 
 - Fix DM raid's raid1 and raid10 discard limits for the purposes of
   linux-stable. But then remove DM raid's discard limits settings now
   that MD raid can efficiently handle large discards.
 
 - A couple small cleanups across various targets.

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.
