Linus Torvalds c442a42363 fs/9p changes for the 6.9 merge window
This pull request includes a number of patches
 addressing improvements in the cache portions of the 9p
 client.
 
 The biggest improvements have to do with fixing handling
 of inodes and eliminating duplicate structures and unnecessary
 allocation/release of inode structures and many associated
 unnecessary protocol traffic.  This also dramatically
 reduced code complexity across the code and sets us up to add
 proper temporal cache capabilities.

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.
