Linus Torvalds 5ad4fe9613 - Fix DM thin to work as a swap device by using 'limit_swap_bios' DM
target flag (initially added to allow swap to dm-crypt) to throttle
   the amount of outstanding swap bios.
 
 - Fix DM crypt soft lockup warnings by calling cond_resched() from the
   cpu intensive loop in dmcrypt_write().
 
 - Fix DM crypt to not access an uninitialized tasklet. This fix allows
   for consistent handling of IO completion, by _not_ needlessly punting
   to a workqueue when tasklets are not needed.
 
 - Fix DM core's alloc_dev() initialization for DM stats to check for
   and propagate alloc_percpu() failure.

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.
