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.

Current code overestimates the value of max_outstanding_req_per_channel for Win8 and newer hosts, since vmscsi_size_delta is set to the initial value of sizeof(vmscsi_win8_extension) rather than zero. This may lead to wrong decisions when using ring_avail_percent_lowater equals to zero. The estimate of max_outstanding_req_per_channel is 'exact' for Win7 and older hosts. A better choice, keeping the algorithm for the estimation simple, is to err the other way around, i.e., to underestimate for Win7 and older but to use the exact value for Win8 and newer.
