With the io-pgtable code now robust against (valid) races, we no longer need to serialise all operations with a lock. This might make broken callers who issue concurrent operations on overlapping addresses go even more wrong than before, but hey, they already had little hope of useful or deterministic results. We do however still have to keep a lock around to serialise the ATS1* translation ops, as parallel iova_to_phys() calls could lead to unpredictable hardware behaviour otherwise.

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.
