* Direct I/O via iomap (required the iomap-for-next branch from Darrick
as a prereq).
* Support for using dioread-nolock where the block size < page size.
* Support for encryption for file systems where the block size < page size.
* Rework of journal credits handling so a revoke-heavy workload will
not cause the journal to run out of space.
* Replace bit-spinlocks with spinlocks in jbd2
Also included were some bug fixes and cleanups, mostly to clean up
corner cases from fuzzed file systems and error path handling.

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.
