 Stable fixes:
  - Fix a page leak when using RPCSEC_GSS/krb5p to encrypt data.
 
 Bugfixes:

Pull NFS client bugfixes from Trond Myklebust:
 "This is mainly fallout from the updates to the SUNRPC code that is
  being triggered from less common combinations of NFS mount options.

  Highlights include:

  Stable fixes:
   - Fix a page leak when using RPCSEC_GSS/krb5p to encrypt data.

  Bugfixes:
   - Fix a regression that causes the RPC receive code to hang

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.
