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.

[ Upstream commit 5b7419ae ] In _rtw_init_xmit_priv, we use the res variable to store the error return from the newly converted rtw_alloc_hwxmits function. Sadly, the calling function interprets res using _SUCCESS and _FAIL still, meaning we change the semantics of the variable, even in the success case. This leads to the following on boot: r8188eu 1-2:1.0: _rtw_init_xmit_priv failed In the long term, we should reverse these semantics, but for now, this fixes the driver. Also, inside rtw_alloc_hwxmits remove the if blocks, as HWXMIT_ENTRY is always 4.
