Rasmus Villemoes says: ==================== net: core: devname allocation cleanups It's somewhat confusing to have both dev_alloc_name and dev_get_valid_name. I can't see why the former is less strict than the latter, so make them (or rather dev_alloc_name_ns and dev_get_valid_name) equivalent, hardening dev_alloc_name() a little. Obvious follow-up patches would be to only export one function, and make dev_alloc_name a static inline wrapper for that (whichever name is chosen for the exported interface). But maybe there is a good reason the two exported interfaces do different checking, so I'll refrain from including the trivial but tree-wide renaming in this series. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
