 "A mixture of odd changes that didn't quite make it into the original
  pull and fixes for things that did. Also the readpages changes had to
  wait for the NFS tree to be pulled first.

   - Remove ->readpages infrastructure

   - Remove AOP_FLAG_CONT_EXPAND

   - Move read_descriptor_t to networking code

   - Pass the iocb to generic_perform_write

   - Minor updates to iomap, btrfs, ext4, f2fs, ntfs"

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.
