Pull fscrypt updates from Eric Biggers:
"This release contains some implementation changes, but no new
features:
- Rework the implementation of the fscrypt filesystem-level keyring
to not be as tightly coupled to the keyrings subsystem. This
resolves several issues.
- Eliminate most direct uses of struct request_queue from fs/crypto/,
since struct request_queue is considered to be a block layer
implementation detail.
- Stop using the PG_error flag to track decryption failures. This is
a prerequisite for freeing up PG_error for other uses"
* tag 'fscrypt-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/fscrypt:
fscrypt: work on block_devices instead of request_queues
fscrypt: stop holding extra request_queue references
fscrypt: stop using keyrings subsystem for fscrypt_master_key
fscrypt: stop using PG_error to track error status
fscrypt: remove fscrypt_set_test_dummy_encryption()
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.
