Linus Torvalds 8c8e62cc98 Driver core fixes for 5.0-rc6
Here are some driver core fixes for 5.0-rc6.
 
 Well, not so much "driver core" as "debugfs".  There's a lot of
 outstanding debugfs cleanup patches coming in through different
 subsystem trees, and in that process the debugfs core was found that it
 really should return errors when something bad happens, to prevent
 random files from showing up in the root of debugfs afterward.  So
 debugfs was fixed up to handle this properly, and then two fixes for
 the relay and blk-mq code was needed as it was making invalid
 assumptions about debugfs return values.
 
 There's also a cacheinfo fix in here that resolves a tiny issue.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for over a week with no reported
 problems.

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.
