handle inode locking in the read/write paths, and improving the performance of Direct I/O overwrites. We also now record the error code which caused the first and most recent ext4_error() report in the superblock, to make it easier to root cause problems in production systems. There are also many of the usual cleanups and miscellaneous bug fixes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEEK2m5VNv+CHkogTfJ8vlZVpUNgaMFAl4yBf0ACgkQ8vlZVpUN gaOK8Af9EsY1vyR/IvEosfXJoKIqnTXN1SLt94iAOUh6dNeVNcyv1SIzRGFrpmsg uHY02EkcTl68b/AjV7ieDpOnOSmlP7NzynuVoar2hrjKX0MzpEu03Vv1a3dUQKuU zcdchi83EwRjEvegsNK/VF3FFadk3TtC7x+7o6p840V6OAyp5CXhjm1akJqIJwvd A4gTpruTSRIFg6Jj36HEDNRgSAeILed3wC7Ywtxt51tLK7Lp/qB1EuvYodMQRvGz d0fRhbNHKepVYfxwpDUDMFnrqDPZ/SZGF73XBxP2zHd6SXy9dBLzGsRL+oj9tTUg YQJtt4Yxjjg8Q1UrMyMRzQpi4S8dAQ== =pVeR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4 Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o: "This merge window, we've added some performance improvements in how we handle inode locking in the read/write paths, and improving the performance of Direct I/O overwrites.

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.
