Merge tag 'nfs-for-4.15-3' of git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/anna/linux-nfs

Pull NFS client fixes from Anna Schumaker:
 "This has two stable bugfixes, one to fix a BUG_ON() when
  nfs_commit_inode() is called with no outstanding commit requests and
  another to fix a race in the SUNRPC receive codepath.

  Additionally, there are also fixes for an NFS client deadlock and an
  xprtrdma performance regression.

  Summary:

  Stable bugfixes:
   - NFS: Avoid a BUG_ON() in nfs_commit_inode() by not waiting for a
     commit in the case that there were no commit requests.
   - SUNRPC: Fix a race in the receive code path

  Other fixes:
   - NFS: Fix a deadlock in nfs client initialization
   - xprtrdma: Fix a performance regression for small IOs"

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.
