Linus Torvalds 15da849c91 - Fix DM multipath by restoring full path selector functionality for
bio-based configurations that don't haave a SCSI device handler.
 
 - Fix dm-btree removal to ensure non-root btree nodes have at least
   (max_entries / 3) entries.  This resolves userspace thin_check
   utility's report of "too few entries in btree_node".
 
 - Fix both the DM thin-provisioning and dm-clone targets to properly
   flush the data device prior to metadata commit.  This resolves the
   potential for inconsistency across a power loss event when the data
   device has a volatile writeback cache.
 
 - Small documentation fixes to dm-clone and dm-integrity.

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.
