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.

Add a function to push the contents of a BVEC-, KVEC- or XARRAY-type iterator into a synchronous hash algorithm. UBUF- and IOBUF-type iterators are not supported on the assumption that either we're doing buffered I/O, in which case we won't see them, or we're doing direct I/O, in which case the iterator will have been extracted into a BVEC-type iterator higher up.
