Alex Elder says: ==================== net: ipa: memory region rework, part 1 This is the first portion of a very long series of patches that has been split in two. Once these patches are accepted, I'll post the remaining patches. The combined series reworks the way memory regions are defined in the configuration data, and in the process solidifies code that ensures configurations are valid. In this portion (part 1), most of the focus is on improving validation of code. This validation is now done unconditionally (something I promised Leon Romanovsky I would work on). Validation will occur earlier than before, catching configuration problems as early as possible and permitting the rest of the driver to avoid needing to do some error checking. There will now be checks to ensure all defined regions are supported by the hardware, that required regions are all defined, and that there are no duplicate regions. The second portion (part 2) is mainly a set of small but pervasive changes whose result is to have the memory region array not be indexed by region ID. I'll provide further explanation when I post that series. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
