Pull fsverity updates from Eric Biggers: - Optimize fs-verity sequential read performance by implementing readahead of Merkle tree pages. This allows the Merkle tree to be read in larger chunks. - Optimize FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY performance in the uncached case by implementing readahead of data pages. - Allocate the hash requests from a mempool in order to eliminate the possibility of allocation failures during I/O. * tag 'fsverity-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fscrypt/fscrypt: fs-verity: use u64_to_user_ptr() fs-verity: use mempool for hash requests fs-verity: implement readahead of Merkle tree pages fs-verity: implement readahead for FS_IOC_ENABLE_VERITY
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.
