Jens Axboe 75199aa526 Merge branch 'nvme-5.2' of git://git.infradead.org/nvme into for-5.2/block
Pull NVMe changes from Christoph:

"Below is the first batch of nvme updates for 5.2. This includes the
performance improvements for single segment I/O on PCIe, which introduce
new block helpers, so it might be a good idea to get them in early.

 - various performance optimizations in the PCIe code (Keith and me)
 - new block helpers to support the above (me)
 - nvmet error conversion cleanup (me)
 - nvmet-fc variable sized array cleanup (Gustavo)
 - passthrough ioctl error printk cleanup (Kenneth)
 - small nvmet fixes (Max)
 - endianess conversion cleanup (Max)
 - nvmet-tcp faspath completion optimization (Sagi)"

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.
