Linus Torvalds b2deee2dc0 This time around we have:
- support for rbd data-pool feature, which enables rbd images on
   erasure-coded pools (myself).  CEPH_PG_MAX_SIZE has been bumped to
   allow erasure-coded profiles with k+m up to 32.
 
 - a patch for ceph_d_revalidate() performance regression introduced in
   4.9, along with some cleanups in the area (Jeff Layton)
 
 - a set of fixes for unsafe ->d_parent accesses in CephFS (Jeff Layton)
 
 - buffered reads are now processed in rsize windows instead of rasize
   windows (Andreas Gerstmayr).  The new default for rsize mount option
   is 64M.
 
 - ack vs commit distinction is gone, greatly simplifying ->fsync() and
   MOSDOpReply handling code (myself)
 
 Also a few filesystem bug fixes from Zheng, a CRUSH sync up (CRUSH
 computations are still serialized though) and several minor fixes and
 cleanups all over.

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.
