io_uring provides a simple mechanism to test long-term, R/W GUP pins
-- via fixed buffers -- and can be used to verify that GUP pins stay
in sync with the pages in the page table even if a page would
temporarily get mapped R/O or concurrent fork() could accidentially
end up sharing pinned pages with the child.
Note that this essentially re-introduces local_config support that was
removed recently in commit 6f83d6c74e ("Kselftests: remove support of
libhugetlbfs from kselftests").

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.
