The configuration of the pipeline and entities directly affects the inputs required to each entity for the partition algorithm. Thus it makes sense to involve those entities in the decision making process. Extend the entity ops API to provide an optional .partition() operation. This allows entities that affect the partition window to adapt the window based on their configuration. Entities implementing this operation must update the window parameter in place, which will then be passed up the pipeline. This creates a process whereby each entity describes what is required to satisfy the required output to its predecessor in the pipeline.

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.
