Jeremy Kerr says: ==================== MCTP flow support For certain MCTP transport bindings, the binding driver will need to be aware of request/response pairing. For example, the i2c binding may need to set multiplexer configuration when expecting a response from a device behind a mux. This series implements a mechanism for informing the driver about these flows, so it can implement transport-specific behaviour when a flow is in progress (ie, a response is expected, and/or we time-out on that expectation). We use a skb extension to notify the driver about the presence of a flow, and a new dev->ops callback to notify about a flow's destruction. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
