mainlining shenanigans

Linus Torvalds f41def3971 The highlights are:
- automatic recovery of a blacklisted filesystem session (Zheng Yan).
   This is disabled by default and can be enabled by mounting with the
   new "recover_session=clean" option.
 
 - serialize buffered reads and O_DIRECT writes (Jeff Layton).  Care is
   taken to avoid serializing O_DIRECT reads and writes with each other,
   this is based on the exclusion scheme from NFS.
 
 - handle large osdmaps better in the face of fragmented memory (myself)
 
 - don't limit what security.* xattrs can be get or set (Jeff Layton).
   We were overly restrictive here, unnecessarily preventing things like
   file capability sets stored in security.capability from working.
 
 - allow copy_file_range() within the same inode and across different
   filesystems within the same cluster (Luis Henriques)

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.
