Dr. David Alan Gilbert c4bb667eaf fuse: reserve values for mapping protocol
SETUPMAPPING is a command for use with 'virtiofsd', a fuse-over-virtio
implementation; it may find use in other fuse impelementations as well in
which the kernel does not have access to the address space of the daemon
directly.

A SETUPMAPPING operation causes a section of a file to be mapped into a
memory window visible to the kernel.  The offsets in the file and the
window are defined by the kernel performing the operation.

The daemon may reject the request, for reasons including permissions and
limited resources.

When a request perfectly overlaps a previous mapping, the previous mapping
is replaced.  When a mapping partially overlaps a previous mapping, the
previous mapping is split into one or two smaller mappings.

REMOVEMAPPING is the complement to SETUPMAPPING; it unmaps a range of
mapped files from the window visible to the kernel.

The map_alignment field communicates the alignment constraint for
FUSE_SETUPMAPPING/FUSE_REMOVEMAPPING and allows the daemon to constrain the
addresses and file offsets chosen by the kernel.

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.
