We have these three related functions: extern void e820_add_region(u64 start, u64 size, int type); extern u64 e820_update_range(u64 start, u64 size, unsigned old_type, unsigned new_type); extern u64 e820_remove_range(u64 start, u64 size, unsigned old_type, int checktype); But it's not clear from the naming that they are 3 operations based around the same 'memory range' concept. Rename them to better signal this, and move the prototypes next to each other: extern void e820__range_add (u64 start, u64 size, int type); extern u64 e820__range_update(u64 start, u64 size, unsigned old_type, unsigned new_type); extern u64 e820__range_remove(u64 start, u64 size, unsigned old_type, int checktype); Note that this improved organization of the functions shows another problem that was easy to miss before: sometimes the E820 entry type is 'int', sometimes 'unsigned int' - but this will be fixed in a separate patch. No change in functionality.

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.
