Shannon Nelson says: ==================== ionic memory usage rework Previous review comments have suggested [1],[2] that this driver needs to rework how queue resources are managed and reconfigured so that we don't do a full driver reset and to better handle potential allocation failures. This patchset is intended to address those comments. The first few patches clean some general issues and simplify some of the memory structures. The last 4 patches specifically address queue parameter changes without a full ionic_stop()/ionic_open().

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.
