Linus Torvalds fd2b2c57ec SCSI fixes on 20170725
Three small fixes.  The transfer size fixes are actually correcting
 some performance drops on the hpsa and smartpqi cards.  The cards
 actually have an internal cache for request speed up but bypass it for
 transfers > 1MB.  Since 4.3 the efficiency of our merges has rendered
 the cache mostly unused, so limit transfers to under 1MB to recover
 the cache boost.

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.
