.map_alloc callbacks contain a number of checks validating user- -provided map attributes against constraints of a particular map type. For offloaded maps we will need to check map attributes without actually allocating any memory on the host. Add a new callback for validating attributes before any memory is allocated. This callback can be selectively implemented by map types for sharing code with offloads, or simply to separate the logical steps of validation and allocation.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
