Linus Torvalds 0ecca62beb One notable change here is that async creates and unlinks introduced
in 5.7 are now enabled by default.  This should greatly speed up things
 like rm, tar and rsync.  To opt out, wsync mount option can be used.
 
 Other than that we have a pile of bug fixes all across the filesystem
 from Jeff, Xiubo and Kotresh and a metrics infrastructure rework from
 Luis.

README

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.
