Linus Torvalds 111c1aa8ca In addition to some ext4 bug fixes and cleanups, this cycle we add the
orphan_file feature, which eliminates bottlenecks when doing a large
 number of parallel truncates and file deletions, and move the discard
 operation out of the jbd2 commit thread when using the discard mount
 option, to better support devices with slow discard operations.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
