Bart Van Assche 7cc2623d1c block: Update blk_update_request() documentation
Although the original intent was to use blk_update_request() in stacking
block drivers only, it is used much more widely today. Reflect this in the
documentation block above this function. See also:
* commit 32fab448e5 ("block: add request update interface").
* commit 2e60e02297 ("block: clean up request completion API").
* commit ed6565e734 ("block: handle partial completions for special
  payload requests").

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.
