- Add support for "chunk mode" in the mlx5-vfio-pci variant driver,
which allows both larger device image sizes for migration, beyond
the previous 4GB limit, and also read-ahead support for improved
migration performance. (Yishai Hadas)
- A new bus master control interface for the CDX bus driver where
there is no in-band mechanism to toggle device DMA as there is
through config space on PCI devices. (Nipun Gupta)
- Add explicit alignment directives to vfio data structures to
reduce the chance of breaking 32-bit userspace. In most cases
this is transparent and the remaining cases where data structures
are padded work within the existing rules for extending data
structures within vfio. (Stefan Hajnoczi)
- Resolve a bug in the cdx bus driver noted when compiled with clang
where missing parenthesis result in the wrong operation.
(Nathan Chancellor)
- Resolve errors reported by smatch for a function when dealing
with invalid inputs. (Alex Williamson)
- Add migration support to the mtty vfio/mdev sample driver for
testing and integration purposes, allowing CI of migration without
specific hardware requirements. Also resolve many of the short-
comings of this driver relative to implementation of the vfio
interrupt ioctl along the way. (Alex Williamson)

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.
