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.

For device memory TCP, we expect the skb headers to be available in host memory for access, and we expect the skb frags to be in device memory and unaccessible to the host. We expect there to be no mixing and matching of device memory frags (unaccessible) with host memory frags (accessible) in the same skb. Add a skb->devmem flag which indicates whether the frags in this skb are device memory frags or not. __skb_fill_netmem_desc() now checks frags added to skbs for net_iov, and marks the skb as skb->devmem accordingly. Add checks through the network stack to avoid accessing the frags of devmem skbs and avoid coalescing devmem skbs with non devmem skbs.
