- rbd will now ignore discards that aren't aligned and big enough to
actually free up some space (myself). This is controlled by the new
alloc_size map option and can be disabled if needed.
- support for rbd deep-flatten feature (myself). Deep-flatten allows
"rbd flatten" to fully disconnect the clone image and its snapshots
from the parent and make the parent snapshot removable.
- a new round of cap handling improvements (Zheng Yan). The kernel
client should now be much more prompt about releasing its caps and
it is possible to put a limit on the number of caps held.
- support for getting ceph.dir.pin extended attribute (Zheng Yan)

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.
