The main motivation is to repeat that dumb buffers should not be abused for anything else than basic software rendering with KMS. User-space devs are more likely to look at the IOCTL docs than to actively search for the driver-oriented "Dumb Buffer Objects" section. v2: reference DRM_CAP_DUMB_BUFFER, DRM_CAP_DUMB_PREFERRED_DEPTH and DRM_CAP_DUMB_PREFER_SHADOW (Pekka) Signed-off-by: Simon Ser <contact@emersion.fr> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Acked-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230821131548.269204-1-contact@emersion.fr
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.
