Linus Torvalds 5133cd7518 Merge branch 'fsnotify' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs
Pull fsnotify updates from Jan Kara:
 "The branch contains mainly a rework of fsnotify infrastructure fixing
  a shortcoming that we have waited for response to fanotify permission
  events with SRCU read lock held and when the process consuming events
  was slow to respond the kernel has stalled.

  It also contains several cleanups of unnecessary indirections in
  fsnotify framework and a bugfix from Amir fixing leakage of kernel
  internal errno to userspace"

README

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.
