Linus Torvalds 47d6a76074 Merge branch 'floppy'
Merge floppy ioctl verification fixes from Denis Efremov.

This also marks the floppy driver as orphaned - it turns out that Jiri
no longer has working hardware.

Actual working physical floppy hardware is getting hard to find, and
while Willy was able to test this, I think the driver can be considered
pretty much dead from an actual hardware standpoint.  The hardware that
is still sold seems to be mainly USB-based, which doesn't use this
legacy driver at all.

The old floppy disk controller is still emulated in various VM
environments, so the driver isn't going away, but let's see if anybody
is interested to step up to maintain it.

The lack of hardware also likely means that the ioctl range verification
fixes are probably mostly relevant to anybody using floppies in a
virtual environment.  Which is probably also going away in favor of USB
storage emulation, but who knows.

Will Decon reviewed the patches but I'm not rebasing them just for that,
so I'll add a

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.
