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.

Currently vivid supports the Request API, but it also sets min_buffers_needed in the vb2 queue. But the combination of support_requests and min_buffers_needed is not allowed due to the fact that vb2_core_qbuf() isn't supposed to fail when called from the request framework. And if min_buffers_needed > 0, then is can call start_streaming() which definitely can fail. With the new module option you can control if requests are not allowed (min_buffers_needed is 2 in that case), optionally allowed or are required. In the latter two cases min_buffers_needed is set to 0. Signed-off-by:Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by:
