Linus Torvalds 5791577963 Updates for 4.14:
- Write unmount record for a ro mount to avoid unnecessary log replay
 - Clean up orphaned inodes when mounting fs readonly
 - Resubmit inode log items when buffer writeback fails to avoid umount hang
 - Fix log recovery corruption problems when log headers wrap around the end
 - Avoid infinite loop searching for free inodes when inode counters are wrong
 - Evict inodes involved with log redo so that we don't leak them later
 - Fix a potential race between reclaim and inode cluster freeing
 - Refactor the inode joining code w.r.t. transaction rolling & deferred ops
 - Fix a bug where the log doesn't properly deal with dirty buffers that
   are about to become ordered buffers
 - Fix the extent swap code to deal with making dirty buffers ordered properly
 - Consolidate page fault handlers
 - Refactor the incore extent manipulation functions to use the iext
   abstractions instead of directly modifying with extent data
 - Disable crashy chattr +/-x until we fix it
 - Don't allow us to set S_DAX for v2 inodes
 - Various cleanups
 - Clarify some documentation
 - Fix a problem where fsync and a log commit race to send the disk a
   flush command, resulting in a small window where power fail data loss
   could occur
 - Simplify some rmap operations in the fcollapse code
 - Fix some use-after-free problems in async writeback

Pull XFS updates from Darrick Wong:
 "Here are the changes for xfs for 4.14. Most of these are cleanups and
  fixes for bad behavior, as we're mostly focusing on improving
  reliablity this cycle (read: there's potentially a lot of stuff on the
  horizon for 4.15 so better to spend a few weeks killing other bugs
  now).

  Summary:

   - Write unmount record for a ro mount to avoid unnecessary log replay

   - Clean up orphaned inodes when mounting fs readonly

   - Resubmit inode log items when buffer writeback fails to avoid
     umount hang

   - Fix log recovery corruption problems when log headers wrap around
     the end

   - Avoid infinite loop searching for free inodes when inode counters
     are wrong

   - Evict inodes involved with log redo so that we don't leak them
     later

   - Fix a potential race between reclaim and inode cluster freeing

   - Refactor the inode joining code w.r.t. transaction rolling &
     deferred ops

   - Fix a bug where the log doesn't properly deal with dirty buffers
     that are about to become ordered buffers

   - Fix the extent swap code to deal with making dirty buffers ordered
     properly

   - Consolidate page fault handlers

   - Refactor the incore extent manipulation functions to use the iext
     abstractions instead of directly modifying with extent data

   - Disable crashy chattr +/-x until we fix it

   - Don't allow us to set S_DAX for v2 inodes

   - Various cleanups

   - Clarify some documentation

   - Fix a problem where fsync and a log commit race to send the disk a
     flush command, resulting in a small window where power fail data
     loss could occur

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.
