Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.

[ Upstream commit 1518ac27 ] Finished a qemu-kvm (-device vfio-pci,host=0001:01:00.0) triggers a few memory leaks after a while because vfio_pci_set_ctx_trigger_single() calls eventfd_ctx_fdget() without the matching eventfd_ctx_put() later. Fix it by calling eventfd_ctx_put() for those memory in vfio_pci_release() before vfio_device_release(). unreferenced object 0xebff008981cc2b00 (size 128): comm "qemu-kvm", pid 4043, jiffies 4294994816 (age 9796.310s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 01 00 00 00 6b 6b 6b 6b 00 00 00 00 ad 4e ad de ....kkkk.....N.. ff ff ff ff 6b 6b 6b 6b ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ....kkkk........ backtrace: [<00000000917e8f8d>] slab_post_alloc_hook+0x74/0x9c [<00000000df0f2aa2>] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x2b4/0x3d4 [<000000005fcec025>] do_eventfd+0x54/0x1ac [<0000000082791a69>] __arm64_sys_eventfd2+0x34/0x44 [<00000000b819758c>] do_el0_svc+0x128/0x1dc [<00000000b244e810>] el0_sync...
