Linus Torvalds 6897cea718 - Fix DM ioctl interface to avoid INT_MAX overflow warnings from
kvmalloc by limiting the number of targets and parameter size area.
 
 - Fix DM stats to avoid INT_MAX overflow warnings from kvmalloc by
   limiting the number of entries supported.
 
 - Fix DM writecache to support mapping devices larger than 1 TiB by
   switching from using kvmalloc_array to vmalloc_array -- which avoids
   INT_MAX overflow in kvmalloc_node and associated warnings.
 
 - Remove the (ab)use of tasklets from both the DM crypt and verity
   targets. They will be converted to use BH workqueue in future.

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.
