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.

This change implements MCTP fragmentation (based on route & device MTU), and corresponding reassembly. The MCTP specification only allows for fragmentation on the originating message endpoint, and reassembly on the destination endpoint - intermediate nodes do not need to reassemble/refragment. Consequently, we only fragment in the local transmit path, and reassemble locally-bound packets. Messages are required to be in-order, so we simply cancel reassembly on out-of-order or missing packets. In the fragmentation path, we just break up the message into MTU-sized fragments; the skb structure is a simple copy for now, which we can later improve with a shared data implementation. For reassembly, we keep track of incoming message fragments using the existing tag infrastructure, allocating a key on the (src,dest,tag) tuple, and reassembles matching fragments into a skb->frag_list.
