Linus Torvalds ff23908bb7 - Fix dm core to use more efficient bio_split() instead of
bio_clone_bioset().  Also fixes splitting bio that has integrity
   payload.
 
 - Three fixes related to properly validating DAX capabilities of a
   stacked DM device that will advertise DAX support.
 
 - Update DM writecache target to use 2-factor allocator arguments.  Kees
   says this is the last related change for 4.18.
 
 - Fix DM zoned target to use GFP_NOIO to avoid triggering reclaim during
   IO submission (caught by lockdep).
 
 - Fix DM thinp to gracefully recover from running out of data space
   while a previous async discard completes (whereby freeing space).
 
 - Fix DM thinp's metadata transaction commit to avoid needless work.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
