Linus Torvalds d06c942efe vhost,virtio,vdpa: bugfixes
Misc fixes all over the place.
 
 Revert of virtio used length validation series: the approach taken does
 not seem to work, breaking too many guests in the process. We'll need to
 do length validation using some other approach.

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.
