Linus Torvalds 18ba603446 NFSD 6.12 Release Notes
Notable features of this release include:
 
 - Pre-requisites for automatically determining the RPC server thread
   count
 - Clean-up and preparation for supporting LOCALIO, which will be
   merged via the NFS client tree
 - Enhancements and fixes to NFSv4.2 COPY offload
 - A new Python-based tool for generating kernel SunRPC XDR encoding
   and decoding functions, added as an aid for prototyping features
   in protocols based on the Linux kernel's SunRPC implementation.
 
 As always I am grateful to the NFSD contributors, reviewers,
 testers, and bug reporters who participated during this cycle.

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 reStructuredText 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.
