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.

This refactors pfn_array_alloc_pin() and also improves it by adding defensive code in error handling so that calling pfn_array_unpin_free() after error return won't lead to problem. This mainly does: 1. Merge pfn_array_pin() into pfn_array_alloc_pin(), since there is no other user of pfn_array_pin(). As a result, also remove kernel-doc for pfn_array_pin() and add/update kernel-doc for pfn_array_alloc_pin() and struct pfn_array. 2. For a vfio_pin_pages() failure, set pa->pa_nr to zero to indicate zero pages were pinned. 3. Set pa->pa_iova_pfn to NULL right after it was freed.
