Linus Torvalds 50d0f78f5c Merge branch 'afs-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull afs/fscache fixes from David Howells:

 - Fix the default return of fscache_maybe_release_page() when a cache
   isn't in use - it prevents a filesystem from releasing pages. This
   can cause a system to OOM.

 - Fix a potential uninitialised variable in AFS.

 - Fix AFS unlink's handling of the nlink count. It needs to use the
   nlink manipulation functions so that inode structs of deleted inodes
   actually get scheduled for destruction.

 - Fix error handling in afs_write_end() so that the page gets unlocked
   and put if we can't fill the unwritten portion.

* 'afs-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs:
  afs: Fix missing error handling in afs_write_end()
  afs: Fix unlink
  afs: Potential uninitialized variable in afs_extract_data()
  fscache: Fix the default for fscache_maybe_release_page()

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.
