For files, there's nr_user_files/file_table/file_data, and buffers have nr_user_bufs/user_bufs/buf_data. There's no reason why file_table and file_data can't be the same thing, and ditto for the buffer side. That gets rid of more io_ring_ctx state that's in two spots rather than just being in one spot, as it should be. Put all the registered file data in one locations, and ditto on the buffer front. This also avoids having both io_rsrc_data->nodes being an allocated array, and ->user_bufs[] or ->file_table.nodes. There's no reason to have this information duplicated. Keep it in one spot, io_rsrc_data, along with how many resources are available. 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 reStructuredText 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.
