Add a motivation for and description of asynchronous VM_BIND operation v2: - Fix typos (Nirmoy Das) - Improve the description of a memory fence (Oak Zeng) - Add a reference to the document in the Xe RFC. - Add pointers to sample uAPI suggestions v3: - Address review comments (Danilo Krummrich) - Formatting fixes v4: - Address typos (Francois Dugast) - Explain why in-fences are not allowed for VM_BIND operations for long- running workloads (Matthew Brost) v5: - More typo- and style fixing - Further clarify the implications of disallowing in-fences for VM_BIND operations for long-running workloads (Matthew Brost) v6: - Point out that a gpu_vm is a virtual GPU Address space. (Danilo Krummrich) - For an explanation of dma-fences point to the dma-fence documentation. (Paulo Zanoni) - Clarify that VM_BIND errors are reported synchronously. (Paulo Zanoni) - Use an rst doc reference when pointing to the async vm_bind document from the xe merge plan. - Add the VM_BIND documentation to the drm documentation table-of-content, using an intermediate "Misc DRM driver uAPI- and feature implementation guidelines" v7: - Update the error handling documentation to remove the VM error state. v8: - Clarify error handling and difference in operation support between async VM_BIND and sync VM_BIND. (Paulo Zanoni) - Update the sample uAPI with a self-contained example.

README
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.
