Linus Torvalds cac85e4616 VFIO updates for v6.3-rc1
- Remove redundant resource check in vfio-platform. (Angus Chen)
 
  - Use GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for persistent userspace allocations, allowing
    removal of arbitrary kernel limits in favor of cgroup control.
    (Yishai Hadas)
 
  - mdev tidy-ups, including removing the module-only build restriction
    for sample drivers, Kconfig changes to select mdev support,
    documentation movement to keep sample driver usage instructions with
    sample drivers rather than with API docs, remove references to
    out-of-tree drivers in docs. (Christoph Hellwig)
 
  - Fix collateral breakages from mdev Kconfig changes. (Arnd Bergmann)
 
  - Make mlx5 migration support match device support, improve source
    and target flows to improve pre-copy support and reduce downtime.
    (Yishai Hadas)
 
  - Convert additional mdev sysfs case to use sysfs_emit(). (Bo Liu)
 
  - Resolve copy-paste error in mdev mbochs sample driver Kconfig.
    (Ye Xingchen)
 
  - Avoid propagating missing reset error in vfio-platform if reset
    requirement is relaxed by module option. (Tomasz Duszynski)
 
  - Range size fixes in mlx5 variant driver for missed last byte and
    stricter range calculation. (Yishai Hadas)
 
  - Fixes to suspended vaddr support and locked_vm accounting, excluding
    mdev configurations from the former due to potential to indefinitely
    block kernel threads, fix underflow and restore locked_vm on new mm.
    (Steve Sistare)
 
  - Update outdated vfio documentation due to new IOMMUFD interfaces in
    recent kernels. (Yi Liu)
 
  - Resolve deadlock between group_lock and kvm_lock, finally.
    (Matthew Rosato)
 
  - Fix NULL pointer in group initialization error path with IOMMUFD.
    (Yan Zhao)

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.
