Linus Torvalds 26c5eaa132 The two main items are support for disabling automatic rbd exclusive
lock transfers from myself and the long awaited -ENOSPC handling series
 from Jeff.  The former will allow rbd users to take advantage of
 exclusive lock's built-in blacklist/break-lock functionality while
 staying in control of who owns the lock.  With the latter in place, we
 will abort filesystem writes on -ENOSPC instead of having them block
 indefinitely.
 
 Beyond that we've got the usual pile of filesystem fixes from Zheng,
 some refcount_t conversion patches from Elena and a patch for an
 ancient open() flags handling bug from Alexander.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
