Dennis Yang 948f581a53 dm thin: fix a memory leak when passing discard bio down
dm-thin does not free the discard_parent bio after all chained sub
bios finished. The following kmemleak report could be observed after
pool with discard_passdown option processes discard bios in
linux v4.11-rc7. To fix this, we drop the discard_parent bio reference
when its endio (passdown_endio) called.

Linux kernel
============

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.
