Linus Torvalds 95288a9b3b The highlights are:
- OSD/MDS latency and caps cache metrics infrastructure for the
   filesytem (Xiubo Li).  Currently available through debugfs and
   will be periodically sent to the MDS in the future.
 
 - support for replica reads (balanced and localized reads) for
   rbd and the filesystem (myself).  The default remains to always
   read from primary, users can opt-in with the new crush_location
   and read_from_replica options.  Note that reading from replica
   is safe for general use only since Octopus.
 
 - support for RADOS allocation hint flags (myself).  Currently
   used by rbd to propagate the compressible/incompressible hint
   given with the new compression_hint map option and ready for
   passing on more advanced hints, e.g. based on fadvise() from
   the filesystem.
 
 - support for efficient cross-quota-realm renames (Luis Henriques)
 
 - assorted cap handling improvements and cleanups, particularly
   untangling some of the locking (Jeff Layton)

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.
