Linus Torvalds 2eecf3a49f - DM cache metadata fixes to short-circuit operations that require the
metadata not be in 'fail_io' mode.  Otherwise crashes are possible.
 
 - a DM cache fix to address the inability to adapt to continuous IO that
   happened to also reflect a changing working set (which required old
   blocks be demoted before the new working set could be promoted)
 
 - a DM cache smq policy cleanup that fell out from reviewing the above
 
 - fix the Kconfig help text for CONFIG_DM_INTEGRITY

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:

 - DM cache metadata fixes to short-circuit operations that require the
   metadata not be in 'fail_io' mode. Otherwise crashes are possible.

 - a DM cache fix to address the inability to adapt to continuous IO
   that happened to also reflect a changing working set (which required
   old blocks be demoted before the new working set could be promoted)

 - fix the Kconfig help text for CONFIG_DM_INTEGRITY

* tag 'for-4.12/dm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
  dm cache metadata: fail operations if fail_io mode has been established
  dm integrity: improve the Kconfig help text for DM_INTEGRITY
  dm cache policy smq: cleanup free_target_met() and clean_target_met()
  dm cache policy smq: allow demotions to happen even during continuous IO

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.
