Linus Torvalds e5da4c933c This merge window, we've added some performance improvements in how we
handle inode locking in the read/write paths, and improving the
 performance of Direct I/O overwrites.  We also now record the error
 code which caused the first and most recent ext4_error() report in the
 superblock, to make it easier to root cause problems in production
 systems.  There are also many of the usual cleanups and miscellaneous
 bug fixes.

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.
