Linus Torvalds 85c7000fda The highlights are:
- several changes to how snap context and snap realms are tracked
   (Xiubo Li).  In particular, this should resolve a long-standing
   issue of high kworker CPU usage and various stalls caused by
   needless iteration over all inodes in the snap realm.
 
 - async create fixes to address hangs in some edge cases (Jeff Layton)
 
 - support for getvxattr MDS op for querying server-side xattrs, such
   as file/directory layouts and ephemeral pins (Milind Changire)
 
 - average latency is now maintained for all metrics (Venky Shankar)
 
 - some tweaks around handling inline data to make it fit better with
   netfs helper library (David Howells)
 
 Also a couple of memory leaks got plugged along with a few assorted
 fixups.  Last but not least, Xiubo has stepped up to serve as a CephFS
 co-maintainer.

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.
