Linus Torvalds b1f8ccdaae - Significant refactoring and fixing of how DM core does bio-based IO
accounting with focus on fixing wildly inaccurate IO stats for
   dm-crypt (and other DM targets that defer bio submission in their
   own workqueues). End result is proper IO accounting, made possible
   by targets being updated to use the new dm_submit_bio_remap()
   interface.
 
 - Add hipri bio polling support (REQ_POLLED) to bio-based DM.
 
 - Reduce dm_io and dm_target_io structs so that a single dm_io (which
   contains dm_target_io and first clone bio) weighs in at 256 bytes.
   For reference the bio struct is 128 bytes.
 
 - Various other small cleanups, fixes or improvements in DM core and
   targets.
 
 - Update MAINTAINERS with my kernel.org email address to allow
   distinction between my "upstream" and "Red" Hats.

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.
