Joe Thornber 9768a10dd3 dm cache policy smq: allocate cache blocks in order
Previously, cache blocks were being allocated in reverse order.  Fix
this by pulling the block off the head of the free list.

Shouldn't have any impact on performance or latency but it is more
correct to have the cache blocks allocated/mapped in ascending order.
This fix will slightly increase the chances of two adjacent oblocks
being in adjacent cblocks.

README

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
