Linus Torvalds 4a123dbaf3 libnvdimm fixes for 5.9-rc6
- Fix an original bug in device-mapper table reference counting when
   interrogating dax capability in the component device. This bug was
   hidden by the following bug.
 
 - Fix device-mapper to use the proper helper (dax_supported() instead of
   the leaf helper generic_fsdax_supported()) to determine dax operation
   of a stacked block device configuration. The original implementation
   is only valid for one level of dax-capable block device stacking. This
   bug was discovered while fixing the below regression.
 
 - Fix an infinite recursion regression introduced by broken attempts to
   quiet the generic_fsdax_supported() path and make it bail out before
   logging "dax capability not found" errors.

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.
