Linus Torvalds 7e284070ab - Enable DM core bioset's per-cpu bio cache if QUEUE_FLAG_POLL
set. This change improves DM's hipri bio polling (REQ_POLLED)
   performance by 7 - 20% depending on the system.
 
 - Update DM core to use jump_labels to further reduce cost of unlikely
   branches for zoned block devices, dm-stats and swap_bios throttling.
 
 - Various DM core changes to reduce bio-based DM overhead and simplify
   IO accounting.
 
 - Fundamental DM core improvements to dm_io reference counting and the
   elimination of using bio_split()+bio_chain() -- instead DM's
   bio-based IO accounting is updated to account that a split occurred.
 
 - Improve DM core's abnormal bio processing to do less work.
 
 - Improve DM core's hipri polling support to use a single list rather
   than an hlist.
 
 - Update DM core to pass NULL bdev to bio_alloc_clone() so that
   initialization that isn't useful for DM can be elided.
 
 - Add cond_resched to DM stats' various loops that loop over all
   entries.
 
 - Fix incorrect error code return from DM integrity's constructor.
 
 - Make DM crypt's printing of the key constant-time.
 
 - Update bio-based DM multipath to provide high-resolution timer to
   the Historical Service Time (HST) path selector.

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.
