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.

The documentation states that pcim_enable_device() will make "all PCI ops" managed. This is totally false, only a small subset of PCI functions become managed that way. Implicating otherwise has caused at least one bug so far, namely in commit 8558de40 ("drm/vboxvideo: use managed pci functions"). Change the function summary so the functions dangerous behavior becomes obvious. Signed-off-by:Philipp Stanner <pstanner@redhat.com> Acked-by:
