Linus Torvalds a969324fe7 - DM core fix for incorrect double bio splitting. Keep "fixing" this
because past attempts didn't fully appreciate the liability relative
   to recursive bio splitting. This fix limits DM's bio splitting to a
   single method and does _not_ use blk_queue_split() for normal IO.
 
 - DM crypt Documentation updates for features added during 5.9 merge.

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.
