Since we don't allow changing the set of regions after creation, we can make ext_set_placements() build up the region set directly in the create_ext and assign it to the object later. This is similar to what we did for contexts with the proto-context only simpler because there's no funny object shuffling. This will be used in the next patch to allow us to de-duplicate a bunch of code. Also, since we know the maximum number of regions up-front, we can use a fixed-size temporary array for the regions. This simplifies memory management a bit for this new delayed approach. v2 (Matthew Auld): - Get rid of MAX_N_PLACEMENTS - Drop kfree(placements) from set_placements() v3 (Matthew Auld): - Properly set ext_data->n_placements Signed-off-by: Jason Ekstrand <jason@jlekstrand.net> Reviewed-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210723172142.3273510-3-jason@jlekstrand.net
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.
