Once the device supports 'chunk mode' the driver can support state size which is larger than 4GB. In that case the device has the capability to split a single image to multiple chunks as long as the software provides a buffer in the minimum size reported by the device. The driver should query for the minimum buffer size required using QUERY_VHCA_MIGRATION_STATE command with the 'chunk' bit set in its input, in that case, the output will include both the minimum buffer size (i.e. required_umem_size) and also the remaining total size to be reported/used where that it will be applicable. At that point in the series the 'chunk' bit is off, the last patch will activate the feature once all pieces will be ready. Note: Before this change we were limited to 4GB state size as of 4 bytes max value based on the device specification for the query/save/load commands.

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.
