- support for asynchronous create and unlink (Jeff Layton). Creates
and unlinks are satisfied locally, without waiting for a reply from
the MDS, provided the client has been granted appropriate caps (new
in v15.y.z ("Octopus") release). This can be a big help for metadata
heavy workloads such as tar and rsync. Opt-in with the new nowsync
mount option.
- multiple blk-mq queues for rbd (Hannes Reinecke and myself). When
the driver was converted to blk-mq, we settled on a single blk-mq
queue because of a global lock in libceph and some other technical
debt. These have since been addressed, so allocate a queue per CPU
to enhance parallelism.
- don't hold onto caps that aren't actually needed (Zheng Yan). This
has been our long-standing behavior, but it causes issues with some
active/standby applications (synchronous I/O, stalls if the standby
goes down, etc).
- .snap directory timestamps consistent with ceph-fuse (Luis Henriques)

* tag 'ceph-for-5.7-rc1' of git://github.com/ceph/ceph-client: (49 commits)
ceph: fix snapshot directory timestamps
ceph: wait for async creating inode before requesting new max size
ceph: don't skip updating wanted caps when cap is stale
ceph: request new max size only when there is auth cap
ceph: cleanup return error of try_get_cap_refs()
ceph: return ceph_mdsc_do_request() errors from __get_parent()
ceph: check all mds' caps after page writeback
ceph: update i_requested_max_size only when sending cap msg to auth mds
ceph: simplify calling of ceph_get_fmode()
ceph: remove delay check logic from ceph_check_caps()
ceph: consider inode's last read/write when calculating wanted caps
ceph: always renew caps if mds_wanted is insufficient
ceph: update dentry lease for async create
ceph: attempt to do async create when possible
ceph: cache layout in parent dir on first sync create
ceph: add new MDS req field to hold delegated inode number
ceph: decode interval_sets for delegated inos
ceph: make ceph_fill_inode non-static
ceph: perform asynchronous unlink if we have sufficient caps
ceph: don't take refs to want mask unless we have all bits

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.
