Merge tag 'xarray-5.1-rc1' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/linux-dax

Pull XArray updates from Matthew Wilcox:
 "This pull request changes the xa_alloc() API. I'm only aware of one
  subsystem that has started trying to use it, and we agree on the fixup
  as part of the merge.

  The xa_insert() error code also changed to match xa_alloc() (EEXIST to
  EBUSY), and I added xa_alloc_cyclic(). Beyond that, the usual
  bugfixes, optimisations and tweaking.

  I now have a git tree with all users of the radix tree and IDR
  converted over to the XArray that I'll be feeding to maintainers over
  the next few weeks"

README

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.
