Linus Torvalds c8994374d9 fsverity updates for 5.6
- Optimize fs-verity sequential read performance by implementing
   readahead of Merkle tree pages.  This allows the Merkle tree to be
   read in larger chunks.
 
 - Optimize FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY performance in the uncached case by
   implementing readahead of data pages.
 
 - Allocate the hash requests from a mempool in order to eliminate the
   possibility of allocation failures during I/O.

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.
