Linus Torvalds 0d19d9e146 Various ext4 bug fixes and cleanups for v6.8-rc1. The fixes are
mostly in the fstrim and mballoc code paths.  Also enable
 dioread_nolock in the case where the block size is less than the page
 size.  (Dioread_nolock has been default in the bs == ps case for quite
 some time.)

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.
