Linus Torvalds b3b25b1d9e - Fix an uninitialized variable false warning in dm bufio
- Fix DM's passthrough ioctl support to be race free against an
   underlying device being removed.
 
 - Fix corner-case of DM raid resync reporting if/when the raid becomes
   degraded during resync; otherwise automated raid repair will fail.
 
 - A few DM multipath fixes to make non-SCSI optimizations, that were
   introduced during the 4.16 merge, useful for all non-SCSI devices,
   rather than narrowly define this non-SCSI mode in terms of "nvme".
   This allows the removal of "queue_mode nvme" that really didn't need
   to be introduced.  Instead DM core will internalize whether
   nvme-specific IO submission optimizations are doable and DM multipath
   will only do SCSI-specific device handler operations if SCSI is in
   use.

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:

 - Fix an uninitialized variable false warning in dm bufio

 - Fix DM's passthrough ioctl support to be race free against an
   underlying device being removed.

 - Fix corner-case of DM raid resync reporting if/when the raid becomes
   degraded during resync; otherwise automated raid repair will fail.

 - A few DM multipath fixes to make non-SCSI optimizations, that were
   introduced during the 4.16 merge, useful for all non-SCSI devices,
   rather than narrowly define this non-SCSI mode in terms of "nvme".

   This allows the removal of "queue_mode nvme" that really didn't need
   to be introduced. Instead DM core will internalize whether
   nvme-specific IO submission optimizations are doable and DM multipath
   will only do SCSI-specific device handler operations if SCSI is in
   use.

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.
