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.

commit 50f6393f upstream. The condition in xen_swiotlb_free_coherent() for deciding whether to call xen_destroy_contiguous_region() is wrong: in case the region to be freed is not contiguous calling xen_destroy_contiguous_region() is the wrong thing to do: it would result in inconsistent mappings of multiple PFNs to the same MFN. This will lead to various strange crashes or data corruption. Instead of calling xen_destroy_contiguous_region() in that case a warning should be issued as that situation should never occur.
