On at least parisc, we have strict requirements on how we virtually map an address that is shared between the application and the kernel. On these platforms, IOU_PBUF_RING_MMAP should be used when setting up a shared ring buffer for provided buffers. If the application is mapping these pages and asking the kernel to pin+map them as well, then we have no control over what virtual address we get in the kernel. For that case, do a sanity check if SHM_COLOUR is defined, and disallow the mapping request. The application must fall back to using IOU_PBUF_RING_MMAP for this case, and liburing will do that transparently with the set of helpers that it has. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
