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.

Preallocate the format-conversion state's storage in the plane's atomic_check function if a format conversion is necessary. Allows the update to fail if no memory is available. Avoids the same allocation within atomic_update, which may not fail. Also inline drm_plane_helper_atomic_check() into the driver and thus return early for invisible planes. Avoids memory allocation entirely in this case. Signed-off-by:Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by:
