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.

I still see "RPC: Could not send backchannel reply error: -110" quite often, along with slow-running tests. Debugging shows that the backchannel is still stumbling when it has to queue a callback reply on a busy transport. Note that every one of these timeouts causes a connection loss by virtue of the xprt_conditional_disconnect() call in that arm of call_cb_transmit_status(). I found that setting to_maxval is necessary to get the RPC timeout logic to behave whenever to_exponential is not set.
