Mike Snitzer efd6537984 dm linear: eliminate linear_end_io call if CONFIG_DM_ZONED disabled
commit beb9caac21 upstream.

It is best to avoid any extra overhead associated with bio completion.
DM core will indirectly call a DM target's .end_io if it is defined.
In the case of DM linear, there is no need to do so (for every bio that
completes) if CONFIG_DM_ZONED is not enabled.

Avoiding an extra indirect call for every bio completion is very
important for ensuring DM linear doesn't incur more overhead that
further widens the performance gap between dm-linear and raw block
devices.

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
