Michal Hocko bc4e54f6e9 drivers/md/bcache/super.c: use kvmalloc
bcache_device_init uses kmalloc for small requests and vmalloc for those
which are larger than 64 pages.  This alone is a strange criterion.
Moreover kmalloc can fallback to vmalloc on the failure.  Let's simply
use kvmalloc instead as it knows how to handle the fallback properly

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.
