Linus Torvalds 66dbbd7200 SCSI fixes on 20171215
The most important one is the bfa fix because it's easy to oops the
 kernel with this driver (this includes the commit that corrects the
 compiler warning in the original), a regression in the new timespec
 conversion in aacraid and a regression in the Fibre Channel ELS
 handling patch.  The other three are a theoretical problem with
 termination in the vendor/host matching code and a use after free in
 lpfc.
 
 The additional patches are a fix for an I/O hang in the mq code under
 certain circumstances and a rare oops in some debugging code.

README

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.
