Pull simple offset series from Chuck Lever In an effort to address slab fragmentation issues reported a few months ago, I've replaced the use of xarrays for the directory offset map in "simple" file systems (including tmpfs). Thanks to Liam Howlett for helping me get this working with Maple Trees. * series 'Use Maple Trees for simple_offset utilities' of https://lore.kernel.org/r/170820083431.6328.16233178852085891453.stgit@91.116.238.104.host.secureserver.net: (6 commits) libfs: Convert simple directory offsets to use a Maple Tree test_maple_tree: testing the cyclic allocation maple_tree: Add mtree_alloc_cyclic() libfs: Add simple_offset_empty() libfs: Define a minimum directory offset libfs: Re-arrange locking in offset_iterate_dir() Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
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.
