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. 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 commit b3aa14f0 ("iommu: remove the mapping_error dma_map_ops method") incorrectly changed the checking from dma_ops_alloc_iova() in map_sg() causes a crash under memory pressure as dma_ops_alloc_iova() never return DMA_MAPPING_ERROR on failure but 0, so the error handling is all wrong. kernel BUG at drivers/iommu/iova.c:801!
