 "This contains mostly fixes (6 to be backported to stable) and a few
  changes, here is the breakdown:

     a list by an idr

   - for packet-based transports (virtio/rdma) validate that the packet
     length matches what the header says

   - a few race condition fixes found by syzkaller

   - missing argument check when NULL device is passed in sys_mount

   - a few virtio fixes

   - some spelling and style fixes"

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
