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.

io_uring deals with file reference loops by registering all fixed files in the SCM/GC infrastrucure. However, only a small subset of all file types can keep long-term references to other files and those that don't are not interesting for the garbage collector as they can't be in a reference loop. They neither can be directly recycled by GC nor affect loop searching. Let's skip io_uring SCM accounting for loop-less files, i.e. all but af_unix sockets, quite imroving fixed file updates performance and greatly helpnig with memory footprint.
