The GuC supports having multiple CT buffer pairs and we designed our implementation with that in mind. However, the different channels are not processed in parallel within the GuC, so there is very little advantage in having multiple channels (independent locks?), compared to the drawbacks (one channel can starve the other if messages keep being submitted to it). Given this, it is unlikely we'll ever add a second channel and therefore we can simplify our code by removing the flexibility. v2: split substructure grouping to separate patch, improve docs (Michal) Signed-off-by: Daniele Ceraolo Spurio <daniele.ceraolospurio@intel.com> Cc: Michal Wajdeczko <michal.wajdeczko@intel.com> Cc: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison@Intel.com> Cc: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Wajdeczko <michal.wajdeczko@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20191217012316.13271-3-daniele.ceraolospurio@intel.com
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.
