We have IORING_OP_PROVIDE_BUFFERS, but the only way to remove buffers is to trigger IO on them. The usual case of shrinking a buffer pool would be to just not replenish the buffers when IO completes, and instead just free it. But it may be nice to have a way to manually remove a number of buffers from a given group, and IORING_OP_REMOVE_BUFFERS provides that functionality. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
