There are ABI moments about recently added rsrc registration/update and tagging that might become a nuisance in the future. First, IORING_REGISTER_RSRC[_UPD] hide different types of resources under it, so breaks fine control over them by restrictions. It works for now, but once those are wanted under restrictions it would require a rework. It was also inconvenient trying to fit a new resource not supporting all the features (e.g. dynamic update) into the interface, so better to return to IORING_REGISTER_* top level dispatching. Second, register/update were considered to accept a type of resource, however that's not a good idea because there might be several ways of registration of a single resource type, e.g. we may want to add non-contig buffers or anything more exquisite as dma mapped memory. So, remove IORING_RSRC_[FILE,BUFFER] out of the ABI, and place them internally for now to limit changes.

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.
