Linus Torvalds 08dffcc7d9 Highlights:
- Server-to-server copy code from Olga.  To use it, client and
 	  both servers must have support, the target server must be able
 	  to access the source server over NFSv4.2, and the target
 	  server must have the inter_copy_offload_enable module
 	  parameter set.
 	- Improvements and bugfixes for the new filehandle cache,
 	  especially in the container case, from Trond
 	- Also from Trond, better reporting of write errors.
 	- Y2038 work from Arnd.

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.
