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.

A few drivers optimistically try to support discard, write zeroes and secure erase and disable the features from the I/O completion handler if the hardware can't support them. This disable can't be done using the atomic queue limits API because the I/O completion handlers can't take sleeping locks or freeze the queue. Keep the existing clearing of the relevant field to zero, but replace the old blk_queue_max_* APIs with new disable APIs that force the value to 0.
