In the future a side effect of introducing DELETE_BUFS ioctl is the create of 'holes' (i.e. unused buffers) in bufs arrays. To know which entries of the bufs arrays are used a bitmap will be added in struct vb2_queue. That will also mean that the number of buffers will be computed given the number of bit set in this bitmap. To smoothly allow this evolution all drives must stop using directly num_buffers field from struct vb2_queue.

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.
