+Setting up NFS/RDMA
+===================
+
+:Author:
+  NetApp and Open Grid Computing (May 29, 2008)
+
+.. warning::
+  This document is probably obsolete.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+This document describes how to install and setup the Linux NFS/RDMA client
+and server software.
+
+The NFS/RDMA client was first included in Linux 2.6.24. The NFS/RDMA server
+was first included in the following release, Linux 2.6.25.
+
+In our testing, we have obtained excellent performance results (full 10Gbit
+wire bandwidth at minimal client CPU) under many workloads. The code passes
+the full Connectathon test suite and operates over both Infiniband and iWARP
+RDMA adapters.
+
+Getting Help
+============
+
+If you get stuck, you can ask questions on the
+nfs-rdma-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list.
+
+Installation
+============
+
+These instructions are a step by step guide to building a machine for
+use with NFS/RDMA.
+
+- Install an RDMA device
+
+  Any device supported by the drivers in drivers/infiniband/hw is acceptable.
+
+  Testing has been performed using several Mellanox-based IB cards, the
+  Ammasso AMS1100 iWARP adapter, and the Chelsio cxgb3 iWARP adapter.
+
+- Install a Linux distribution and tools
+
+  The first kernel release to contain both the NFS/RDMA client and server was
+  Linux 2.6.25  Therefore, a distribution compatible with this and subsequent
+  Linux kernel release should be installed.
+
+  The procedures described in this document have been tested with
+  distributions from Red Hat's Fedora Project (http://fedora.redhat.com/).
+
+- Install nfs-utils-1.1.2 or greater on the client
+
+  An NFS/RDMA mount point can be obtained by using the mount.nfs command in
+  nfs-utils-1.1.2 or greater (nfs-utils-1.1.1 was the first nfs-utils
+  version with support for NFS/RDMA mounts, but for various reasons we
+  recommend using nfs-utils-1.1.2 or greater). To see which version of
+  mount.nfs you are using, type:
+
+  .. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ /sbin/mount.nfs -V
+
+  If the version is less than 1.1.2 or the command does not exist,
+  you should install the latest version of nfs-utils.
+
+  Download the latest package from: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/nfs
+
+  Uncompress the package and follow the installation instructions.
+
+  If you will not need the idmapper and gssd executables (you do not need
+  these to create an NFS/RDMA enabled mount command), the installation
+  process can be simplified by disabling these features when running
+  configure:
+
+  .. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ ./configure --disable-gss --disable-nfsv4
+
+  To build nfs-utils you will need the tcp_wrappers package installed. For
+  more information on this see the package's README and INSTALL files.
+
+  After building the nfs-utils package, there will be a mount.nfs binary in
+  the utils/mount directory. This binary can be used to initiate NFS v2, v3,
+  or v4 mounts. To initiate a v4 mount, the binary must be called
+  mount.nfs4.  The standard technique is to create a symlink called
+  mount.nfs4 to mount.nfs.
+
+  This mount.nfs binary should be installed at /sbin/mount.nfs as follows:
+
+  .. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ sudo cp utils/mount/mount.nfs /sbin/mount.nfs
+
+  In this location, mount.nfs will be invoked automatically for NFS mounts
+  by the system mount command.
+
+    .. note::
+      mount.nfs and therefore nfs-utils-1.1.2 or greater is only needed
+      on the NFS client machine. You do not need this specific version of
+      nfs-utils on the server. Furthermore, only the mount.nfs command from
+      nfs-utils-1.1.2 is needed on the client.
+
+- Install a Linux kernel with NFS/RDMA
+
+  The NFS/RDMA client and server are both included in the mainline Linux
+  kernel version 2.6.25 and later. This and other versions of the Linux
+  kernel can be found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/
+
+  Download the sources and place them in an appropriate location.
+
+- Configure the RDMA stack
+
+  Make sure your kernel configuration has RDMA support enabled. Under
+  Device Drivers -> InfiniBand support, update the kernel configuration
+  to enable InfiniBand support [NOTE: the option name is misleading. Enabling
+  InfiniBand support is required for all RDMA devices (IB, iWARP, etc.)].
+
+  Enable the appropriate IB HCA support (mlx4, mthca, ehca, ipath, etc.) or
+  iWARP adapter support (amso, cxgb3, etc.).
+
+  If you are using InfiniBand, be sure to enable IP-over-InfiniBand support.
+
+- Configure the NFS client and server
+
+  Your kernel configuration must also have NFS file system support and/or
+  NFS server support enabled. These and other NFS related configuration
+  options can be found under File Systems -> Network File Systems.
+
+- Build, install, reboot
+
+  The NFS/RDMA code will be enabled automatically if NFS and RDMA
+  are turned on. The NFS/RDMA client and server are configured via the hidden
+  SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA config option that depends on SUNRPC and INFINIBAND. The
+  value of SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA will be:
+
+    #. N if either SUNRPC or INFINIBAND are N, in this case the NFS/RDMA client
+       and server will not be built
+
+    #. M if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are on (M or Y) and at least one is M,
+       in this case the NFS/RDMA client and server will be built as modules
+
+    #. Y if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are Y, in this case the NFS/RDMA client
+       and server will be built into the kernel
+
+  Therefore, if you have followed the steps above and turned no NFS and RDMA,
+  the NFS/RDMA client and server will be built.
+
+  Build a new kernel, install it, boot it.
+
+Check RDMA and NFS Setup
+========================
+
+Before configuring the NFS/RDMA software, it is a good idea to test
+your new kernel to ensure that the kernel is working correctly.
+In particular, it is a good idea to verify that the RDMA stack
+is functioning as expected and standard NFS over TCP/IP and/or UDP/IP
+is working properly.
+
+- Check RDMA Setup
+
+  If you built the RDMA components as modules, load them at
+  this time. For example, if you are using a Mellanox Tavor/Sinai/Arbel
+  card:
+
+  .. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ modprobe ib_mthca
+    $ modprobe ib_ipoib
+
+  If you are using InfiniBand, make sure there is a Subnet Manager (SM)
+  running on the network. If your IB switch has an embedded SM, you can
+  use it. Otherwise, you will need to run an SM, such as OpenSM, on one
+  of your end nodes.
+
+  If an SM is running on your network, you should see the following:
+
+  .. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ cat /sys/class/infiniband/driverX/ports/1/state
+    4: ACTIVE
+
+  where driverX is mthca0, ipath5, ehca3, etc.
+
+  To further test the InfiniBand software stack, use IPoIB (this

+
+    host1$ ip link set dev ib0 up
+    host1$ ip address add dev ib0 a.b.c.x

+    host2$ ping a.b.c.x
+
+  For other device types, follow the appropriate procedures.

+- Check NFS Setup
+
+  For the NFS components enabled above (client and/or server),
+  test their functionality over standard Ethernet using TCP/IP or UDP/IP.
+
+NFS/RDMA Setup
+==============
+
+We recommend that you use two machines, one to act as the client and
+one to act as the server.
+
+One time configuration:
+-----------------------
+
+- On the server system, configure the /etc/exports file and start the NFS/RDMA server.
+
+  Exports entries with the following formats have been tested::
+
+  /vol0   192.168.0.47(fsid=0,rw,async,insecure,no_root_squash)
+  /vol0   192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(fsid=0,rw,async,insecure,no_root_squash)
+
+  The IP address(es) is(are) the client's IPoIB address for an InfiniBand
+  HCA or the client's iWARP address(es) for an RNIC.
+
+  .. note::
+    The "insecure" option must be used because the NFS/RDMA client does
+    not use a reserved port.
+
+Each time a machine boots:
+--------------------------
+
+- Load and configure the RDMA drivers
+
+  For InfiniBand using a Mellanox adapter:
+
+  .. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ modprobe ib_mthca
+    $ modprobe ib_ipoib
+    $ ip li set dev ib0 up
+    $ ip addr add dev ib0 a.b.c.d
+
+  .. note::
+    Please use unique addresses for the client and server!
+
+- Start the NFS server
+
+  If the NFS/RDMA server was built as a module (CONFIG_SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA=m in
+  kernel config), load the RDMA transport module:
+
+  .. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ modprobe svcrdma
+
+  Regardless of how the server was built (module or built-in), start the
+  server:
+
+  .. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ /etc/init.d/nfs start
+
+  or
+
+  .. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ service nfs start
+
+  Instruct the server to listen on the RDMA transport:
+
+  .. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ echo rdma 20049 > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist
+
+- On the client system
+
+  If the NFS/RDMA client was built as a module (CONFIG_SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA=m in
+  kernel config), load the RDMA client module:
+
+  .. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ modprobe xprtrdma.ko
+
+  Regardless of how the client was built (module or built-in), use this
+  command to mount the NFS/RDMA server:
+
+  .. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ mount -o rdma,port=20049 <IPoIB-server-name-or-address>:/<export> /mnt
+
+  To verify that the mount is using RDMA, run "cat /proc/mounts" and check
+  the "proto" field for the given mount.
+
+  Congratulations! You're using NFS/RDMA!

+How to help improve kernel documentation
+========================================
+
+Documentation is an important part of any software-development project.
+Good documentation helps to bring new developers in and helps established
+developers work more effectively.  Without top-quality documentation, a lot
+of time is wasted in reverse-engineering the code and making avoidable
+mistakes.
+
+Unfortunately, the kernel's documentation currently falls far short of what
+it needs to be to support a project of this size and importance.
+
+This guide is for contributors who would like to improve that situation.
+Kernel documentation improvements can be made by developers at a variety of
+skill levels; they are a relatively easy way to learn the kernel process in
+general and find a place in the community.  The bulk of what follows is the
+documentation maintainer's list of tasks that most urgently need to be
+done.
+
+The documentation TODO list
+---------------------------
+
+There is an endless list of tasks that need to be carried out to get our
+documentation to where it should be.  This list contains a number of
+important items, but is far from exhaustive; if you see a different way to
+improve the documentation, please do not hold back!
+
+Addressing warnings
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The documentation build currently spews out an unbelievable number of
+warnings.  When you have that many, you might as well have none at all;
+people ignore them, and they will never notice when their work adds new
+ones.  For this reason, eliminating warnings is one of the highest-priority
+tasks on the documentation TODO list.  The task itself is reasonably
+straightforward, but it must be approached in the right way to be
+successful.
+
+Warnings issued by a compiler for C code can often be dismissed as false
+positives, leading to patches aimed at simply shutting the compiler up.
+Warnings from the documentation build almost always point at a real
+problem; making those warnings go away requires understanding the problem
+and fixing it at its source.  For this reason, patches fixing documentation
+warnings should probably not say "fix a warning" in the changelog title;
+they should indicate the real problem that has been fixed.
+
+Another important point is that documentation warnings are often created by
+problems in kerneldoc comments in C code.  While the documentation
+maintainer appreciates being copied on fixes for these warnings, the
+documentation tree is often not the right one to actually carry those
+fixes; they should go to the maintainer of the subsystem in question.
+
+For example, in a documentation build I grabbed a pair of warnings nearly
+at random::
+
+  ./drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c:1818: warning: bad line:
+  	- Resource-managed devfreq_register_notifier()
+  ./drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c:1854: warning: bad line:
+	- Resource-managed devfreq_unregister_notifier()
+
+(The lines were split for readability).
+
+A quick look at the source file named above turned up a couple of kerneldoc
+comments that look like this::
+
+  /**
+   * devm_devfreq_register_notifier()
+	  - Resource-managed devfreq_register_notifier()
+   * @dev:	The devfreq user device. (parent of devfreq)
+   * @devfreq:	The devfreq object.
+   * @nb:		The notifier block to be unregistered.
+   * @list:	DEVFREQ_TRANSITION_NOTIFIER.
+   */
+
+The problem is the missing "*", which confuses the build system's
+simplistic idea of what C comment blocks look like.  This problem had been
+present since that comment was added in 2016 — a full four years.  Fixing
+it was a matter of adding the missing asterisks.  A quick look at the
+history for that file showed what the normal format for subject lines is,
+and ``scripts/get_maintainer.pl`` told me who should receive it.  The
+resulting patch looked like this::
+
+  [PATCH] PM / devfreq: Fix two malformed kerneldoc comments
+

+  resulting in these doc-build warnings:

+
+The entire process only took a few minutes.  Of course, I then found that
+somebody else had fixed it in a separate tree, highlighting another lesson:
+always check linux-next to see if a problem has been fixed before you dig
+into it.
+
+Other fixes will take longer, especially those relating to structure
+members or function parameters that lack documentation.  In such cases, it
+is necessary to work out what the role of those members or parameters is
+and describe them correctly.  Overall, this task gets a little tedious at
+times, but it's highly important.  If we can actually eliminate warnings
+from the documentation build, then we can start expecting developers to
+avoid adding new ones.
+
+Languishing kerneldoc comments
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Developers are encouraged to write kerneldoc comments for their code, but
+many of those comments are never pulled into the docs build.  That makes
+this information harder to find and, for example, makes Sphinx unable to
+generate links to that documentation.  Adding ``kernel-doc`` directives to
+the documentation to bring those comments in can help the community derive
+the full value of the work that has gone into creating them.
+
+The ``scripts/find-unused-docs.sh`` tool can be used to find these
+overlooked comments.
+
+Note that the most value comes from pulling in the documentation for
+exported functions and data structures.  Many subsystems also have
+kerneldoc comments for internal use; those should not be pulled into the
+documentation build unless they are placed in a document that is
+specifically aimed at developers working within the relevant subsystem.
+
+
+Typo fixes
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Fixing typographical or formatting errors in the documentation is a quick
+way to figure out how to create and send patches, and it is a useful
+service.  I am always willing to accept such patches.  That said, once you
+have fixed a few, please consider moving on to more advanced tasks, leaving
+some typos for the next beginner to address.
+
+Please note that some things are *not* typos and should not be "fixed":
+
+ - Both American and British English spellings are allowed within the
+   kernel documentation.  There is no need to fix one by replacing it with
+   the other.
+
+ - The question of whether a period should be followed by one or two spaces
+   is not to be debated in the context of kernel documentation.  Other
+   areas of rational disagreement, such as the "Oxford comma", are also
+   off-topic here.
+
+As with any patch to any project, please consider whether your change is
+really making things better.
+
+Ancient documentation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Some kernel documentation is current, maintained, and useful.  Some
+documentation is ... not.  Dusty, old, and inaccurate documentation can
+mislead readers and casts doubt on our documentation as a whole.  Anything
+that can be done to address such problems is more than welcome.
+
+Whenever you are working with a document, please consider whether it is
+current, whether it needs updating, or whether it should perhaps be removed
+altogether.  There are a number of warning signs that you can pay attention
+to here:
+
+ - References to 2.x kernels
+ - Pointers to SourceForge repositories
+ - Nothing but typo fixes in the history for several years
+ - Discussion of pre-Git workflows
+
+The best thing to do, of course, would be to bring the documentation
+current, adding whatever information is needed.  Such work often requires
+the cooperation of developers familiar with the subsystem in question, of
+course.  Developers are often more than willing to cooperate with people
+working to improve the documentation when asked nicely, and when their
+answers are listened to and acted upon.
+
+Some documentation is beyond hope; we occasionally find documents that
+refer to code that was removed from the kernel long ago, for example.
+There is surprising resistance to removing obsolete documentation, but we
+should do that anyway.  Extra cruft in our documentation helps nobody.
+
+In cases where there is perhaps some useful information in a badly outdated
+document, and you are unable to update it, the best thing to do may be to
+add a warning at the beginning.  The following text is recommended::
+
+  .. warning ::
+  	This document is outdated and in need of attention.  Please use
+	this information with caution, and please consider sending patches
+	to update it.
+
+That way, at least our long-suffering readers have been warned that the
+document may lead them astray.
+
+Documentation coherency
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The old-timers around here will remember the Linux books that showed up on
+the shelves in the 1990s.  They were simply collections of documentation
+files scrounged from various locations on the net.  The books have (mostly)
+improved since then, but the kernel's documentation is still mostly built
+on that model.  It is thousands of files, almost each of which was written
+in isolation from all of the others.  We don't have a coherent body of
+kernel documentation; we have thousands of individual documents.
+
+We have been trying to improve the situation through the creation of
+a set of "books" that group documentation for specific readers.  These
+include:
+
+ - :doc:`../admin-guide/index`
+ - :doc:`../core-api/index`
+ - :doc:`../driver-api/index`
+ - :doc:`../userspace-api/index`
+
+As well as this book on documentation itself.
+
+Moving documents into the appropriate books is an important task and needs
+to continue.  There are a couple of challenges associated with this work,
+though.  Moving documentation files creates short-term pain for the people
+who work with those files; they are understandably unenthusiastic about
+such changes.  Usually the case can be made to move a document once; we
+really don't want to keep shifting them around, though.
+
+Even when all documents are in the right place, though, we have only
+managed to turn a big pile into a group of smaller piles.  The work of
+trying to knit all of those documents together into a single whole has not
+yet begun.  If you have bright ideas on how we could proceed on that front,
+we would be more than happy to hear them.
+
+Stylesheet improvements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+With the adoption of Sphinx we have much nicer-looking HTML output than we
+once did.  But it could still use a lot of improvement; Donald Knuth and
+Edward Tufte would be unimpressed.  That requires tweaking our stylesheets
+to create more typographically sound, accessible, and readable output.
+
+Be warned: if you take on this task you are heading into classic bikeshed
+territory.  Expect a lot of opinions and discussion for even relatively
+obvious changes.  That is, alas, the nature of the world we live in.
+
+Non-LaTeX PDF build
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is a decidedly nontrivial task for somebody with a lot of time and
+Python skills.  The Sphinx toolchain is relatively small and well
+contained; it is easy to add to a development system.  But building PDF or
+EPUB output requires installing LaTeX, which is anything but small or well
+contained.  That would be a nice thing to eliminate.
+
+The original hope had been to use the rst2pdf tool (https://rst2pdf.org/)
+for PDF generation, but it turned out to not be up to the task.
+Development work on rst2pdf seems to have picked up again in recent times,
+though, which is a hopeful sign.  If a suitably motivated developer were to
+work with that project to make rst2pdf work with the kernel documentation
+build, the world would be eternally grateful.
+
+Write more documentation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Naturally, there are massive parts of the kernel that are severely
+underdocumented.  If you have the knowledge to document a specific kernel
+subsystem and the desire to do so, please do not hesitate to do some
+writing and contribute the result to the kernel.  Untold numbers of kernel
+developers and users will thank you.

+Documentation subsystem maintainer entry profile
+================================================
+
+The documentation "subsystem" is the central coordinating point for the
+kernel's documentation and associated infrastructure.  It covers the
+hierarchy under Documentation/ (with the exception of
+Documentation/device-tree), various utilities under scripts/ and, at least
+some of the time, LICENSES/.
+
+It's worth noting, though, that the boundaries of this subsystem are rather
+fuzzier than normal.  Many other subsystem maintainers like to keep control
+of portions of Documentation/, and many more freely apply changes there
+when it is convenient.  Beyond that, much of the kernel's documentation is
+found in the source as kerneldoc comments; those are usually (but not
+always) maintained by the relevant subsystem maintainer.
+
+The mailing list for documentation is linux-doc@vger.kernel.org.  Patches
+should be made against the docs-next tree whenever possible.
+
+Submit checklist addendum
+-------------------------
+
+When making documentation changes, you should actually build the
+documentation and ensure that no new errors or warnings have been
+introduced.  Generating HTML documents and looking at the result will help
+to avoid unsightly misunderstandings about how things will be rendered.
+
+Key cycle dates
+---------------
+
+Patches can be sent anytime, but response will be slower than usual during
+the merge window.  The docs tree tends to close late before the merge
+window opens, since the risk of regressions from documentation patches is
+low.
+
+Review cadence
+--------------
+
+I am the sole maintainer for the documentation subsystem, and I am doing
+the work on my own time, so the response to patches will occasionally be
+slow.  I try to always send out a notification when a patch is merged (or
+when I decide that one cannot be).  Do not hesitate to send a ping if you
+have not heard back within a week of sending a patch.

-
-Overview
-~~~~~~~~
-
-  This document describes how to install and setup the Linux NFS/RDMA client
-  and server software.
-
-  The NFS/RDMA client was first included in Linux 2.6.24. The NFS/RDMA server
-  was first included in the following release, Linux 2.6.25.
-
-  In our testing, we have obtained excellent performance results (full 10Gbit
-  wire bandwidth at minimal client CPU) under many workloads. The code passes
-  the full Connectathon test suite and operates over both Infiniband and iWARP
-  RDMA adapters.
-
-Getting Help
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-  If you get stuck, you can ask questions on the
-
-                nfs-rdma-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
-
-  mailing list.
-
-Installation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-  These instructions are a step by step guide to building a machine for
-  use with NFS/RDMA.
-
-  - Install an RDMA device
-
-    Any device supported by the drivers in drivers/infiniband/hw is acceptable.
-
-    Testing has been performed using several Mellanox-based IB cards, the
-    Ammasso AMS1100 iWARP adapter, and the Chelsio cxgb3 iWARP adapter.
-
-  - Install a Linux distribution and tools
-
-    The first kernel release to contain both the NFS/RDMA client and server was
-    Linux 2.6.25  Therefore, a distribution compatible with this and subsequent
-    Linux kernel release should be installed.
-
-    The procedures described in this document have been tested with
-    distributions from Red Hat's Fedora Project (http://fedora.redhat.com/).
-
-  - Install nfs-utils-1.1.2 or greater on the client
-
-    An NFS/RDMA mount point can be obtained by using the mount.nfs command in
-    nfs-utils-1.1.2 or greater (nfs-utils-1.1.1 was the first nfs-utils
-    version with support for NFS/RDMA mounts, but for various reasons we
-    recommend using nfs-utils-1.1.2 or greater). To see which version of
-    mount.nfs you are using, type:
-
-    $ /sbin/mount.nfs -V
-
-    If the version is less than 1.1.2 or the command does not exist,
-    you should install the latest version of nfs-utils.
-
-    Download the latest package from:
-
-    http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/nfs
-
-    Uncompress the package and follow the installation instructions.
-
-    If you will not need the idmapper and gssd executables (you do not need
-    these to create an NFS/RDMA enabled mount command), the installation
-    process can be simplified by disabling these features when running
-    configure:
-
-    $ ./configure --disable-gss --disable-nfsv4
-
-    To build nfs-utils you will need the tcp_wrappers package installed. For
-    more information on this see the package's README and INSTALL files.
-
-    After building the nfs-utils package, there will be a mount.nfs binary in
-    the utils/mount directory. This binary can be used to initiate NFS v2, v3,
-    or v4 mounts. To initiate a v4 mount, the binary must be called
-    mount.nfs4.  The standard technique is to create a symlink called
-    mount.nfs4 to mount.nfs.
-
-    This mount.nfs binary should be installed at /sbin/mount.nfs as follows:
-
-    $ sudo cp utils/mount/mount.nfs /sbin/mount.nfs
-
-    In this location, mount.nfs will be invoked automatically for NFS mounts
-    by the system mount command.
-
-    NOTE: mount.nfs and therefore nfs-utils-1.1.2 or greater is only needed
-    on the NFS client machine. You do not need this specific version of
-    nfs-utils on the server. Furthermore, only the mount.nfs command from
-    nfs-utils-1.1.2 is needed on the client.
-
-  - Install a Linux kernel with NFS/RDMA
-
-    The NFS/RDMA client and server are both included in the mainline Linux
-    kernel version 2.6.25 and later. This and other versions of the Linux
-    kernel can be found at:
-
-    https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/
-
-    Download the sources and place them in an appropriate location.
-
-  - Configure the RDMA stack
-
-    Make sure your kernel configuration has RDMA support enabled. Under
-    Device Drivers -> InfiniBand support, update the kernel configuration
-    to enable InfiniBand support [NOTE: the option name is misleading. Enabling
-    InfiniBand support is required for all RDMA devices (IB, iWARP, etc.)].
-
-    Enable the appropriate IB HCA support (mlx4, mthca, ehca, ipath, etc.) or
-    iWARP adapter support (amso, cxgb3, etc.).
-
-    If you are using InfiniBand, be sure to enable IP-over-InfiniBand support.
-
-  - Configure the NFS client and server
-
-    Your kernel configuration must also have NFS file system support and/or
-    NFS server support enabled. These and other NFS related configuration
-    options can be found under File Systems -> Network File Systems.
-
-  - Build, install, reboot
-
-    The NFS/RDMA code will be enabled automatically if NFS and RDMA
-    are turned on. The NFS/RDMA client and server are configured via the hidden
-    SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA config option that depends on SUNRPC and INFINIBAND. The
-    value of SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA will be:
-
-     - N if either SUNRPC or INFINIBAND are N, in this case the NFS/RDMA client
-       and server will not be built
-     - M if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are on (M or Y) and at least one is M,
-       in this case the NFS/RDMA client and server will be built as modules
-     - Y if both SUNRPC and INFINIBAND are Y, in this case the NFS/RDMA client
-       and server will be built into the kernel
-
-    Therefore, if you have followed the steps above and turned no NFS and RDMA,
-    the NFS/RDMA client and server will be built.
-
-    Build a new kernel, install it, boot it.
-
-Check RDMA and NFS Setup
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-    Before configuring the NFS/RDMA software, it is a good idea to test
-    your new kernel to ensure that the kernel is working correctly.
-    In particular, it is a good idea to verify that the RDMA stack
-    is functioning as expected and standard NFS over TCP/IP and/or UDP/IP
-    is working properly.
-
-  - Check RDMA Setup
-
-    If you built the RDMA components as modules, load them at
-    this time. For example, if you are using a Mellanox Tavor/Sinai/Arbel
-    card:
-
-    $ modprobe ib_mthca
-    $ modprobe ib_ipoib
-
-    If you are using InfiniBand, make sure there is a Subnet Manager (SM)
-    running on the network. If your IB switch has an embedded SM, you can
-    use it. Otherwise, you will need to run an SM, such as OpenSM, on one
-    of your end nodes.
-
-    If an SM is running on your network, you should see the following:
-
-    $ cat /sys/class/infiniband/driverX/ports/1/state
-    4: ACTIVE
-
-    where driverX is mthca0, ipath5, ehca3, etc.
-
-    To further test the InfiniBand software stack, use IPoIB (this
-    assumes you have two IB hosts named host1 and host2):
-
-    host1$ ip link set dev ib0 up
-    host1$ ip address add dev ib0 a.b.c.x
-    host2$ ip link set dev ib0 up
-    host2$ ip address add dev ib0 a.b.c.y
-    host1$ ping a.b.c.y
-    host2$ ping a.b.c.x
-
-    For other device types, follow the appropriate procedures.
-
-  - Check NFS Setup
-
-    For the NFS components enabled above (client and/or server),
-    test their functionality over standard Ethernet using TCP/IP or UDP/IP.
-
-NFS/RDMA Setup
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-  We recommend that you use two machines, one to act as the client and
-  one to act as the server.
-
-  One time configuration:
-
-  - On the server system, configure the /etc/exports file and
-    start the NFS/RDMA server.
-
-    Exports entries with the following formats have been tested:
-
-    /vol0   192.168.0.47(fsid=0,rw,async,insecure,no_root_squash)
-    /vol0   192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(fsid=0,rw,async,insecure,no_root_squash)
-
-    The IP address(es) is(are) the client's IPoIB address for an InfiniBand
-    HCA or the client's iWARP address(es) for an RNIC.
-
-    NOTE: The "insecure" option must be used because the NFS/RDMA client does
-    not use a reserved port.
-
- Each time a machine boots:
-
-  - Load and configure the RDMA drivers
-
-    For InfiniBand using a Mellanox adapter:
-
-    $ modprobe ib_mthca
-    $ modprobe ib_ipoib
-    $ ip li set dev ib0 up
-    $ ip addr add dev ib0 a.b.c.d
-
-    NOTE: use unique addresses for the client and server
-
-  - Start the NFS server
-
-    If the NFS/RDMA server was built as a module (CONFIG_SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA=m in
-    kernel config), load the RDMA transport module:
-
-    $ modprobe svcrdma
-
-    Regardless of how the server was built (module or built-in), start the
-    server:
-
-    $ /etc/init.d/nfs start
-
-    or
-
-    $ service nfs start
-
-    Instruct the server to listen on the RDMA transport:
-
-    $ echo rdma 20049 > /proc/fs/nfsd/portlist
-
-  - On the client system
-
-    If the NFS/RDMA client was built as a module (CONFIG_SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA=m in
-    kernel config), load the RDMA client module:
-
-    $ modprobe xprtrdma.ko
-
-    Regardless of how the client was built (module or built-in), use this
-    command to mount the NFS/RDMA server:
-
-    $ mount -o rdma,port=20049 <IPoIB-server-name-or-address>:/<export> /mnt
-
-    To verify that the mount is using RDMA, run "cat /proc/mounts" and check
-    the "proto" field for the given mount.
-
-  Congratulations! You're using NFS/RDMA!

 VFAT MOUNT OPTIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-uid=###       -- Set the owner of all files on this filesystem.
-		 The default is the uid of current process.
-
-gid=###       -- Set the group of all files on this filesystem.
-		 The default is the gid of current process.
-
-umask=###     -- The permission mask (for files and directories, see umask(1)).
-                 The default is the umask of current process.
-
-dmask=###     -- The permission mask for the directory.
-                 The default is the umask of current process.
-
-fmask=###     -- The permission mask for files.
-                 The default is the umask of current process.
-
-allow_utime=### -- This option controls the permission check of mtime/atime.
-
-                  20 - If current process is in group of file's group ID,
-                       you can change timestamp.
-                   2 - Other users can change timestamp.
-
-                 The default is set from `dmask' option. (If the directory is
-                 writable, utime(2) is also allowed. I.e. ~dmask & 022)
-
-                 Normally utime(2) checks current process is owner of
-                 the file, or it has CAP_FOWNER capability.  But FAT
-                 filesystem doesn't have uid/gid on disk, so normal
-                 check is too unflexible. With this option you can
-                 relax it.
-
-codepage=###  -- Sets the codepage number for converting to shortname
-		 characters on FAT filesystem.
-		 By default, FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE setting is used.
-
-iocharset=<name> -- Character set to use for converting between the
-		 encoding is used for user visible filename and 16 bit
-		 Unicode characters. Long filenames are stored on disk
-		 in Unicode format, but Unix for the most part doesn't
-		 know how to deal with Unicode.
-		 By default, FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET setting is used.
-
-		 There is also an option of doing UTF-8 translations
-		 with the utf8 option.
-
-		 NOTE: "iocharset=utf8" is not recommended. If unsure,
-		 you should consider the following option instead.
-
-utf8=<bool>   -- UTF-8 is the filesystem safe version of Unicode that
-		 is used by the console. It can be enabled or disabled
-		 for the filesystem with this option.
-		 If 'uni_xlate' gets set, UTF-8 gets disabled.
-		 By default, FAT_DEFAULT_UTF8 setting is used.
-
-uni_xlate=<bool> -- Translate unhandled Unicode characters to special
-		 escaped sequences.  This would let you backup and
-		 restore filenames that are created with any Unicode

+被限制的硬件问题
+================
+
+范围
+----
+
+导致安全问题的硬件问题与只影响Linux内核的纯软件错误是不同的安全错误类别。
+
+必须区别对待诸如熔毁(Meltdown)、Spectre、L1TF等硬件问题，因为它们通常会影响
+所有操作系统（“OS”），因此需要在不同的OS供应商、发行版、硬件供应商和其他各方
+之间进行协调。对于某些问题，软件缓解可能依赖于微码或固件更新，这需要进一步的
+协调。
+
+.. _zh_Contact:
+
+接触
+----
+
+Linux内核硬件安全小组独立于普通的Linux内核安全小组。
+
+该小组只负责协调被限制的硬件安全问题。Linux内核中纯软件安全漏洞的报告不由该
+小组处理，报告者将被引导至常规Linux内核安全小组(:ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/
+<securitybugs>`)联系。
+
+可以通过电子邮件 <hardware-security@kernel.org> 与小组联系。这是一份私密的安全
+官名单，他们将帮助您根据我们的文档化流程协调问题。
+
+邮件列表是加密的，发送到列表的电子邮件可以通过PGP或S/MIME加密，并且必须使用报告
+者的PGP密钥或S/MIME证书签名。该列表的PGP密钥和S/MIME证书可从
+https://www.kernel.org/.... 获得。
+
+虽然硬件安全问题通常由受影响的硬件供应商处理，但我们欢迎发现潜在硬件缺陷的研究
+人员或个人与我们联系。
+
+硬件安全官
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+目前的硬件安全官小组:
+
+  - Linus Torvalds（Linux基金会院士）
+  - Greg Kroah Hartman（Linux基金会院士）
+  - Thomas Gleixner（Linux基金会院士）
+
+邮件列表的操作
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+处理流程中使用的加密邮件列表托管在Linux Foundation的IT基础设施上。通过提供这项
+服务，Linux基金会的IT基础设施安全总监在技术上有能力访问被限制的信息，但根据他
+的雇佣合同，他必须保密。Linux基金会的IT基础设施安全总监还负责 kernel.org 基础
+设施。
+
+Linux基金会目前的IT基础设施安全总监是 Konstantin Ryabitsev。
+
+保密协议
+--------
+
+Linux内核硬件安全小组不是正式的机构，因此无法签订任何保密协议。核心社区意识到
+这些问题的敏感性，并提供了一份谅解备忘录。
+
+谅解备忘录
+----------
+
+Linux内核社区深刻理解在不同操作系统供应商、发行商、硬件供应商和其他各方之间
+进行协调时，保持硬件安全问题处于限制状态的要求。
+
+Linux内核社区在过去已经成功地处理了硬件安全问题，并且有必要的机制允许在限制
+限制下进行符合社区的开发。
+
+Linux内核社区有一个专门的硬件安全小组负责初始联系，并监督在限制规则下处理
+此类问题的过程。
+
+硬件安全小组确定开发人员（领域专家），他们将组成特定问题的初始响应小组。最初
+的响应小组可以引入更多的开发人员（领域专家）以最佳的技术方式解决这个问题。
+
+所有相关开发商承诺遵守限制规定，并对收到的信息保密。违反承诺将导致立即从当前
+问题中排除，并从所有相关邮件列表中删除。此外，硬件安全小组还将把违反者排除在
+未来的问题之外。这一后果的影响在我们社区是一种非常有效的威慑。如果发生违规
+情况，硬件安全小组将立即通知相关方。如果您或任何人发现潜在的违规行为，请立即
+向硬件安全人员报告。
+
+流程
+^^^^
+
+由于Linux内核开发的全球分布式特性，面对面的会议几乎不可能解决硬件安全问题。
+由于时区和其他因素，电话会议很难协调，只能在绝对必要时使用。加密电子邮件已被
+证明是解决此类问题的最有效和最安全的通信方法。
+
+开始披露
+""""""""
+
+披露内容首先通过电子邮件联系Linux内核硬件安全小组。此初始联系人应包含问题的
+描述和任何已知受影响硬件的列表。如果您的组织制造或分发受影响的硬件，我们建议
+您也考虑哪些其他硬件可能会受到影响。
+
+硬件安全小组将提供一个特定于事件的加密邮件列表，用于与报告者进行初步讨论、
+进一步披露和协调。
+
+硬件安全小组将向披露方提供一份开发人员（领域专家）名单，在与开发人员确认他们
+将遵守本谅解备忘录和文件化流程后，应首先告知开发人员有关该问题的信息。这些开发
+人员组成初始响应小组，并在初始接触后负责处理问题。硬件安全小组支持响应小组，
+但不一定参与缓解开发过程。
+
+虽然个别开发人员可能通过其雇主受到保密协议的保护，但他们不能以Linux内核开发
+人员的身份签订个别保密协议。但是，他们将同意遵守这一书面程序和谅解备忘录。
+
+披露方应提供已经或应该被告知该问题的所有其他实体的联系人名单。这有几个目的:
+
+  - 披露的实体列表允许跨行业通信，例如其他操作系统供应商、硬件供应商等。
+
+  - 可联系已披露的实体，指定应参与缓解措施开发的专家。
+
+  - 如果需要处理某一问题的专家受雇于某一上市实体或某一上市实体的成员，则响应
+    小组可要求该实体披露该专家。这确保专家也是实体反应小组的一部分。
+
+披露
+""""
+
+披露方通过特定的加密邮件列表向初始响应小组提供详细信息。
+
+根据我们的经验，这些问题的技术文档通常是一个足够的起点，最好通过电子邮件进行
+进一步的技术澄清。
+
+缓解开发
+""""""""
+
+初始响应小组设置加密邮件列表，或在适当的情况下重新修改现有邮件列表。
+
+使用邮件列表接近于正常的Linux开发过程，并且在过去已经成功地用于为各种硬件安全
+问题开发缓解措施。
+
+邮件列表的操作方式与正常的Linux开发相同。发布、讨论和审查修补程序，如果同意，
+则应用于非公共git存储库，参与开发人员只能通过安全连接访问该存储库。存储库包含
+针对主线内核的主开发分支，并根据需要为稳定的内核版本提供向后移植分支。
+
+最初的响应小组将根据需要从Linux内核开发人员社区中确定更多的专家。引进专家可以
+在开发过程中的任何时候发生，需要及时处理。
+
+如果专家受雇于披露方提供的披露清单上的实体或其成员，则相关实体将要求其参与。
+
+否则，披露方将被告知专家参与的情况。谅解备忘录涵盖了专家，要求披露方确认参与。
+如果披露方有令人信服的理由提出异议，则必须在五个工作日内提出异议，并立即与事件
+小组解决。如果披露方在五个工作日内未作出回应，则视为默许。
+
+在确认或解决异议后，专家由事件小组披露，并进入开发过程。
+
+协调发布
+""""""""
+
+有关各方将协商限制结束的日期和时间。此时，准备好的缓解措施集成到相关的内核树中
+并发布。
+
+虽然我们理解硬件安全问题需要协调限制时间，但限制时间应限制在所有有关各方制定、
+测试和准备缓解措施所需的最短时间内。人为地延长限制时间以满足会议讨论日期或其他
+非技术原因，会给相关的开发人员和响应小组带来了更多的工作和负担，因为补丁需要
+保持最新，以便跟踪正在进行的上游内核开发，这可能会造成冲突的更改。
+
+CVE分配
+"""""""
+
+硬件安全小组和初始响应小组都不分配CVE，开发过程也不需要CVE。如果CVE是由披露方
+提供的，则可用于文档中。
+
+流程专使
+--------
+
+为了协助这一进程，我们在各组织设立了专使，他们可以回答有关报告流程和进一步处理
+的问题或提供指导。专使不参与特定问题的披露，除非响应小组或相关披露方提出要求。
+现任专使名单:
+
+  ============= ========================================================
+  ARM
+  AMD		Tom Lendacky <tom.lendacky@amd.com>
+  IBM
+  Intel		Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

+  ============= ========================================================
+
+如果要将您的组织添加到专使名单中，请与硬件安全小组联系。被提名的专使必须完全
+理解和支持我们的过程，并且在Linux内核社区中很容易联系。
+
+加密邮件列表
+------------
+
+我们使用加密邮件列表进行通信。这些列表的工作原理是，发送到列表的电子邮件使用
+列表的PGP密钥或列表的/MIME证书进行加密。邮件列表软件对电子邮件进行解密，并
+使用订阅者的PGP密钥或S/MIME证书为每个订阅者分别对其进行重新加密。有关邮件列表
+软件和用于确保列表安全和数据保护的设置的详细信息，请访问:
+https://www.kernel.org/....
+
+关键点
+^^^^^^
+
+初次接触见 :ref:`zh_Contact`. 对于特定于事件的邮件列表，密钥和S/MIME证书通过
+特定列表发送的电子邮件传递给订阅者。
+
+订阅事件特定列表
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+订阅由响应小组处理。希望参与通信的披露方将潜在订户的列表发送给响应组，以便
+响应组可以验证订阅请求。
+
+每个订户都需要通过电子邮件向响应小组发送订阅请求。电子邮件必须使用订阅服务器
+的PGP密钥或S/MIME证书签名。如果使用PGP密钥，则必须从公钥服务器获得该密钥，
+并且理想情况下该密钥连接到Linux内核的PGP信任网。另请参见:
+https://www.kernel.org/signature.html.
+
+响应小组验证订阅者，并将订阅者添加到列表中。订阅后，订阅者将收到来自邮件列表
+的电子邮件，该邮件列表使用列表的PGP密钥或列表的/MIME证书签名。订阅者的电子邮件
+客户端可以从签名中提取PGP密钥或S/MIME证书，以便订阅者可以向列表发送加密电子
+邮件。

+------------
+
+关于Linux内核模块的立场声明
+===========================
+
+我们，以下署名的Linux内核开发人员，认为任何封闭源Linux内核模块或驱动程序都是
+有害的和不可取的。我们已经一再发现它们对Linux用户，企业和更大的Linux生态系统
+有害。这样的模块否定了Linux开发模型的开放性，稳定性，灵活性和可维护性，并使
+他们的用户无法使用Linux社区的专业知识。提供闭源内核模块的供应商迫使其客户
+放弃Linux的主要优势或选择新的供应商。因此，为了充分利用开源所提供的成本节省和
+共享支持优势，我们敦促供应商采取措施，以开源内核代码在Linux上为其客户提供支持。
+
+我们只为自己说话，而不是我们今天可能会为之工作，过去或将来会为之工作的任何公司。
