Linus Torvalds 60c42a31dc - a DM verity fix for a mode when no salt is used
- a fix to DM to account for the possibility that PREFLUSH or FUA are
   used without the SYNC flag if the underlying storage doesn't have a
   volatile write-cache
 
 - a DM ioctl memory allocation flag fix to use __GFP_HIGH to allow
   emergency forward progress (by using memory reserves as last resort)
 
 - a small DM integrity cleanup to use kvmalloc() instead of duplicating
   the same

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.
