The generic parts of the RPC layer need to know the widths (in XDR_UNIT increments) of the XDR data types defined for each protocol. As a first step, add dictionaries to keep track of the symbolic and actual maximum XDR width of XDR types. This makes it straightforward to look up the width of a type by its name. The built-in dictionaries are pre-loaded with the widths of the built-in XDR types as defined in RFC 4506. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
