This clearly indicates that the input is a bitwise combination of values in an enum, and identifies which enum contains the definition of the bits. Special accessors are provided that handle the mandatory validation of the allowed bits and enforce the correct type for bitwise flags. If we had introduced this at the start then the kabi would have uniformly used u64 data to pass flags, however today there is a mixture of u64 and u32 flags. All places are converted to accept both sizes and the accessor fixes it. This allows all existing flags to grow to u64 in future without any hassle. Finally all flags are, by definition, optional. If flags are not passed the accessor does not fail, but provides a value of zero. Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com> |

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
