- a series that fixes some old memory allocation issues in libceph
(myself). We no longer allocate memory in places where allocation
failures cannot be handled and BUG when the allocation fails.
- support for copy_file_range() syscall (Luis Henriques). If size and
alignment conditions are met, it leverages RADOS copy-from operation.
Otherwise, a local copy is performed.
- a patch that reduces memory requirement of ceph_sync_read() from the
size of the entire read to the size of one object (Zheng Yan).
- fallocate() syscall is now restricted to FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE (Luis
Henriques)

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.
