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.

commit e79b431f upstream. This patch will check the weight and exit the loop if we exceeds the weight. This is useful for preventing vsock kthread from hogging cpu which is guest triggerable. The weight can help to avoid starving the request from on direction while another direction is being processed. The value of weight is picked from vhost-net. This addresses CVE-2019-3900.
