Linus Torvalds 97eeb4d9d7 New code for 5.5:
- Fill out the build string
 - Prevent inode fork extent count overflows
 - Refactor the allocator to reduce long tail latency
 - Rework incore log locking a little to reduce spinning
 - Break up the xfs_iomap_begin functions into smaller more cohesive
 parts
 - Fix allocation alignment being dropped too early when the allocation
 request is for more blocks than an AG is large
 - Other small cleanups
 - Clean up file buftarg retrieval helpers
 - Hoist the resvsp and unresvsp ioctls to the vfs
 - Remove the undocumented biosize mount option, since it has never been
   mentioned as existing or supported on linux
 - Clean up some of the mount option printing and parsing
 - Enhance attr leaf verifier to check block structure
 - Check dirent and attr names for invalid characters before passing them
 to the vfs
 - Refactor open-coded bmbt walking
 - Fix a few places where we return EIO instead of EFSCORRUPTED after
 failing metadata sanity checks
 - Fix a synchronization problem between fallocate and aio dio corrupting
 the file length
 - Clean up various loose ends in the iomap and bmap code
 - Convert to the new mount api
 - Make sure we always log something when returning EFSCORRUPTED
 - Fix some problems where long running scrub loops could trigger soft
 lockup warnings and/or fail to exit due to fatal signals pending
 - Fix various Coverity complaints
 - Remove most of the function pointers from the directory code to reduce
 indirection penalties
 - Ensure that dquots are attached to the inode when performing unwritten
 extent conversion after io
 - Deuglify incore projid and crtime types
 - Fix another AGI/AGF locking order deadlock when renaming
 - Clean up some quota typedefs
 - Remove the FSSETDM ioctls which haven't done anything in 20 years
 - Fix some memory leaks when mounting the log fails
 - Fix an underflow when updating an xattr leaf freemap
 - Remove some trivial wrappers
 - Report metadata corruption as an error, not a (potentially) fatal
 assertion
 - Clean up the dir/attr buffer mapping code
 - Allow fatal signals to kill scrub during parent pointer checks

Pull XFS updates from Darrick Wong:
 "For this release, we changed quite a few things.

  Highlights:

   - Fixed some long tail latency problems in the block allocator

   - Removed some long deprecated (and for the past several years no-op)
     mount options and ioctls

   - Strengthened the extended attribute and directory verifiers

   - Audited and fixed all the places where we could return EFSCORRUPTED
     without logging anything

   - Refactored the old SGI space allocation ioctls to make the
     equivalent fallocate calls

   - Fixed a race between fallocate and directio

   - Fixed an integer overflow when files have more than a few
     billion(!) extents

   - Fixed a longstanding bug where quota accounting could be incorrect
     when performing unwritten extent conversion on a freshly mounted fs

   - Fixed various complaints in scrub about soft lockups and
     unresponsiveness to signals

   - De-vtable'd the directory handling code, which should make it
     faster

   - Converted to the new mount api, for better or for worse

   - Cleaned up some memory leaks

  and quite a lot of other smaller fixes and cleanups.

  A more detailed summary:

   - Fill out the build string

   - Prevent inode fork extent count overflows

   - Refactor the allocator to reduce long tail latency

   - Rework incore log locking a little to reduce spinning

   - Break up the xfs_iomap_begin functions into smaller more cohesive
     parts

   - Fix allocation alignment being dropped too early when the
     allocation request is for more blocks than an AG is large

     been mentioned as existing or supported on linux

   - Clean up some of the mount option printing and parsing

   - Enhance attr leaf verifier to check block structure

   - Check dirent and attr names for invalid characters before passing

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.
