Linus Torvalds ee1b43ece1 - Fix a particularly nasty DM core bug in a 4.15 refcount_t conversion.
- Fix various targets to dm_register_target after module __init
   resources created; otherwise racing lvm2 commands could result in a
   NULL pointer during initialization of associated DM kernel module.
 
 - Fix regression in bio-based DM multipath queue_if_no_path handling.
 
 - Fix DM bufio's shrinker to reclaim more than one buffer per scan.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
