Linus Torvalds 7a3dadedc8 f2fs-for-5.10-rc1
In this round, we've added new features such as zone capacity for ZNS and
 a new GC policy, ATGC, along with in-memory segment management. In addition,
 we could improve the decompression speed significantly by changing virtual
 mapping method. Even though we've fixed lots of small bugs in compression
 support, I feel that it becomes more stable so that I could give it a try in
 production.
 
 Enhancement:
  - suport zone capacity in NVMe Zoned Namespace devices
  - introduce in-memory current segment management
  - add standart casefolding support
  - support age threshold based garbage collection
  - improve decompression speed by changing virtual mapping method
 
 Bug fix:
  - fix condition checks in some ioctl() such as compression, move_range, etc
  - fix 32/64bits support in data structures
  - fix memory allocation in zstd decompress
  - add some boundary checks to avoid kernel panic on corrupted image
  - fix disallowing compression for non-empty file
  - fix slab leakage of compressed block writes
 
 In addition, it includes code refactoring for better readability and minor
 bug fixes for compression and zoned device support.

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.
