Linus Torvalds 8c27cb3566 Merge branch 'for-4.13-part1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux
Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "The core updates improve error handling (mostly related to bios), with
  the usual incremental work on the GFP_NOFS (mis)use removal,
  refactoring or cleanups. Except the two top patches, all have been in
  for-next for an extensive amount of time.

  User visible changes:

   - statx support

   - quota override tunable

   - improved compression thresholds

   - obsoleted mount option alloc_start

  Core updates:

   - bio-related updates:
       - faster bio cloning
       - no allocation failures
       - preallocated flush bios

   - more kvzalloc use, memalloc_nofs protections, GFP_NOFS updates

   - prep work for btree_inode removal

   - dir-item validation

   - qgoup fixes and updates

   - cleanups:
       - removed unused struct members, unused code, refactoring
       - argument refactoring (fs_info/root, caller -> callee sink)
       - SEARCH_TREE ioctl docs"

README

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.
