Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== nfp: protect from theoretical size overflows and SR-IOV errors This small set changes the handling of pci_sriov_set_totalvfs() errors. nfp is the only driver which fails probe on pci_sriov_set_totalvfs() errors. It turns out some BIOS configurations may break SR-IOV and users who don't use that feature should not suffer. Remaining patches makes sure we use overflow-safe function for ring allocation, even though ring sizes are limited. It won't hurt and we can also enable fallback to vmalloc() if memory is tight while at it. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
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.
