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.

With slab accounting, allocating and freeing memory has considerable
overhead. Add a basic alloc cache for the io_kiocb allocations that
msg_ring needs to do. Unlike other caches, this one is used by the
sender, grabbing it from the remote ring. When the remote ring gets
the posted completion, it'll free it locally. Hence it is separately
locked, using ctx->msg_lock.
