Linus Torvalds ef7c8f2b1f iommufd for 6.11 merge window
Major changes:
 
 - The iova_bitmap logic for efficiently reporting dirty pages back to
   userspace has a few more tricky corner case bugs that have been resolved
   and backed with new tests. The revised version has simpler logic.
 
 - Shared branch with iommu for handle support when doing domain
   attach. Handles allow the domain owner to include additional private data
   on a per-device basis.
 
 - IO Page Fault Reporting to userspace via iommufd. Page faults can be
   generated on fault capable HWPTs when a translation is not present.
   Routing them to userspace would allow a VMM to be able to virtualize them
   into an emulated vIOMMU. This is the next step to fully enabling vSVA
   support.

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 reStructuredText 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.
