Normal SQEs are 64-bytes in length, which is fine for all the commands we support. However, in preparation for supporting passthrough IO, provide an option for setting up a ring with 128-byte SQEs. We continue to use the same type for io_uring_sqe, it's marked and commented with a zero sized array pad at the end. This provides up to 80 bytes of data for a passthrough command - 64 bytes for the extra added data, and 16 bytes available at the end of the existing SQE. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
