Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
"Light on new features - basically just the hybrid mode support.
Outside of that it's just fixes, cleanups, and performance
improvements.
In detail:
- Add ring related information to the fdinfo output (Hao)
- Hybrid async mode (Hao)
- Support for batched issue on block (me)
- sqe error trace improvement (me)
- IOPOLL efficiency improvements (Pavel)
- submit state cleanups and improvements (Pavel)
- Completion side improvements (Pavel)
- Drain improvements (Pavel)
- Buffer selection cleanups (Pavel)
- Fixed file node improvements (Pavel)
- io-wq setup cancelation fix (Pavel)
- Various other performance improvements and cleanups (Pavel)

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.
