Pull passthrough updates from Jens Axboe:
"With these changes, passthrough NVMe support over io_uring now
performs at the same level as block device O_DIRECT, and in many cases
6-8% better.
This contains:
- Add support for fixed buffers for passthrough (Anuj, Kanchan)
- Enable batched allocations and freeing on passthrough, similarly to
what we support on the normal storage path (me)
- Fix from Geert fixing an issue with !CONFIG_IO_URING"

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.
