Linus Torvalds 2c25833c42 IOMMU Fixes for Linux v4.13-rc6
Another fix, this time in common IOMMU sysfs code
 
 	- In the conversion from the old iommu sysfs-code to the
 	  iommu_device_register interface, I missed to update the
 	  release path for the struct device associated with an IOMMU.
 	  It freed the 'struct device', which was a pointer before, but
 	  is now embedded in another struct. Freeing from the middle of
 	  allocated memory had all kinds of nasty side effects when an
 	  IOMMU was unplugged. Unfortunatly nobody unplugged and IOMMU
 	  until now, so this was not discovered earlier.  The fix is to
 	  make the 'struct device' a pointer again.

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.
