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.

Move the code for runtime power management from blk-core.c into the new source file blk-pm.c. Move the corresponding declarations from <linux/blkdev.h> into <linux/blk-pm.h>. For CONFIG_PM=n, leave out the declarations of the functions that are not used in that mode. This patch not only reduces the number of #ifdefs in the block layer core code but also reduces the size of header file <linux/blkdev.h> and hence should help to reduce the build time of the Linux kernel if CONFIG_PM is not defined.
