Currently we're using "compute mode" for long running VMs using preempt-fences for memory management, and "fault mode" for long running VMs using page faults. Change this to use the terminology "long-running" abbreviated as LR for long-running VMs. These VMs can then either be in preempt-fence mode or fault mode. The user can force fault mode at creation time, but otherwise the driver can choose to use fault- or preempt-fence mode for long-running vms depending on the device capabilities. Initially unless fault-mode is specified, the driver uses preempt-fence mode. v2: - Fix commit message wording and the documentation around CREATE_FLAG_LR_MODE and CREATE_FLAG_FAULT_MODE Cc: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com> Cc: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Cc: Francois Dugast <francois.dugast@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Francois Dugast <francois.dugast@intel.com> Reviewed-by: José Roberto de Souza <jose.souza@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com>
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.
