====================
This set adds a small batching and cache mechanism to the driver.
Map dumps require two operations per element - get next, and
lookup. Each of those needs a round trip to the device, and on
a loaded system scheduling out and in of the dumping process.
This set makes the driver request a number of entries at the same
time, and if no operation which would modify the map happens
from the host side those entries are used to serve lookup
requests for up to 250us, at which point they are considered
stale.
This set has been measured to provide almost 4x dumping speed
improvement, Jaco says:
OLD dump times
500 000 elements: 26.1s
1 000 000 elements: 54.5s
NEW dump times
500 000 elements: 7.6s
1 000 000 elements: 16.5s

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.
