Arseniy Krasnov says: ==================== vsock/virtio/vhost: MSG_ZEROCOPY preparations this patchset is first of three parts of another big patchset for MSG_ZEROCOPY flag support: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230701063947.3422088-1-AVKrasnov@sberdevices.ru/ During review of this series, Stefano Garzarella <sgarzare@redhat.com> suggested to split it for three parts to simplify review and merging: 1) virtio and vhost updates (for fragged skbs) <--- this patchset 2) AF_VSOCK updates (allows to enable MSG_ZEROCOPY mode and read tx completions) and update for Documentation/. 3) Updates for tests and utils. This series enables handling of fragged skbs in virtio and vhost parts. Newly logic won't be triggered, because SO_ZEROCOPY options is still impossible to enable at this moment (next bunch of patches from big set above will enable it). I've included changelog to some patches anyway, because there were some comments during review of last big patchset from the link above. Head for this patchset is: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git/commit/?id=f2fa1c812c91e99d0317d1fc7d845e1e05f39716 Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230717210051.856388-1-AVKrasnov@sberdevices.ru/ Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230718180237.3248179-1-AVKrasnov@sberdevices.ru/ Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230720214245.457298-1-AVKrasnov@sberdevices.ru/ Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230727222627.1895355-1-AVKrasnov@sberdevices.ru/ Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230730085905.3420811-1-AVKrasnov@sberdevices.ru/ Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230814212720.3679058-1-AVKrasnov@sberdevices.ru/ Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230827085436.941183-1-avkrasnov@salutedevices.com/ Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230911202234.1932024-1-avkrasnov@salutedevices.com/ Changelog: v3 -> v4: * Patchset rebased and tested on new HEAD of net-next (see hash above). v4 -> v5: * See per-patch changelog after ---. v5 -> v6: * Patchset rebased and tested on new HEAD of net-next (see hash above). * See per-patch changelog after ---. v6 -> v7: * Patchset rebased and tested on new HEAD of net-next (see hash above). * See per-patch changelog after ---. v7 -> v8: * Patchset rebased and tested on new HEAD of net-next (see hash above). * See per-patch changelog after ---. v8 -> v9: * Patchset rebased and tested on new HEAD of net-next (see hash above). * See per-patch changelog after ---. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
