Linus Torvalds bd1286f964 Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending
Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Things were a lot more calm than previously expected. It's primarily
  fixes in various areas, with most of the new functionality centering
  around TCMU backend driver work that Xiubo Li has been driving.

  Here's the summary on the feature side:

   - Make T10-PI verify configurable for emulated (FILEIO + RD) backends
    (Dmitry Monakhov)
   - Allow target-core/TCMU pass-through to use in-kernel SPC-PR logic
    (Bryant Ly + MNC)
   - Add TCMU support for growing ring buffer size (Xiubo Li + MNC)
   - Add TCMU support for global block data pool (Xiubo Li + MNC)

  and on the bug-fix side:

   - Fix COMPARE_AND_WRITE non GOOD status handling for READ phase
    failures (Gary Guo + nab)
   - Fix iscsi-target hang with explicitly changing per NodeACL
    CmdSN number depth with concurrent login driven session
    reinstatement.  (Gary Guo + nab)
   - Fix ibmvscsis fabric driver ABORT task handling (Bryant Ly)
   - Fix target-core/FILEIO zero length handling (Bart Van Assche)

  Also, there was an OOPs introduced with the WRITE_VERIFY changes that
  I ended up reverting at the last minute, because as not unusual Bart
  and I could not agree on the fix in time for -rc1. Since it's specific
  to a conformance test, it's been reverted for now.

  There is a separate patch in the queue to address the underlying
  control CDB write overflow regression in >= v4.3 separate from the
  WRITE_VERIFY revert here, that will be pushed post -rc1"

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.
