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.

We met some sporadic modem crashes during high throughput testing, this has been root caused to a lack of elements in the event ring. Indeed, the modem is simply crashing when event ring becomes empty. It appears that the total number event ring elements is too low given the performances of the modem (IPA hardware accelerator). This change increases the number of elements in the hardware event ring to 2048, which is aligned with what is defined in downstream version: https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-4.14/tree/arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/sm8150-mhi.dtsi?h=msm-4.14#n482 With this change, modem coes not crash anymore. Note: An event ring element is 16-Byte, so the total memory usage of a hardware event ring is now 32KB. Signed-off-by:Loic Poulain <loic.poulain@linaro.org> Reviewed-by:
