+===========================
+SUPERBLOCK CREATION HELPERS
+===========================
+
+A number of VFS helpers are available for use by filesystems for the creation
+or looking up of superblocks.
+
+ (*) struct super_block *
+     sget_fc(struct fs_context *fc,
+	     int (*test)(struct super_block *sb, struct fs_context *fc),
+	     int (*set)(struct super_block *sb, struct fs_context *fc));
+
+     This is the core routine.  If test is non-NULL, it searches for an
+     existing superblock matching the criteria held in the fs_context, using
+     the test function to match them.  If no match is found, a new superblock
+     is created and the set function is called to set it up.
+
+     Prior to the set function being called, fc->s_fs_info will be transferred
+     to sb->s_fs_info - and fc->s_fs_info will be cleared if set returns
+     success (ie. 0).
+
+The following helpers all wrap sget_fc():
+
+ (*) int vfs_get_super(struct fs_context *fc,
+		       enum vfs_get_super_keying keying,
+		       int (*fill_super)(struct super_block *sb,
+					 struct fs_context *fc))
+
+     This creates/looks up a deviceless superblock.  The keying indicates how
+     many superblocks of this type may exist and in what manner they may be
+     shared:
+
+	(1) vfs_get_single_super
+
+	    Only one such superblock may exist in the system.  Any further
+	    attempt to get a new superblock gets this one (and any parameter
+	    differences are ignored).
+
+	(2) vfs_get_keyed_super
+
+	    Multiple superblocks of this type may exist and they're keyed on
+	    their s_fs_info pointer (for example this may refer to a
+	    namespace).
+
+	(3) vfs_get_independent_super
+
+	    Multiple independent superblocks of this type may exist.  This
+	    function never matches an existing one and always creates a new
+	    one.

+BPF Flow Dissector
+==================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+Flow dissector is a routine that parses metadata out of the packets. It's
+used in the various places in the networking subsystem (RFS, flow hash, etc).
+
+BPF flow dissector is an attempt to reimplement C-based flow dissector logic
+in BPF to gain all the benefits of BPF verifier (namely, limits on the
+number of instructions and tail calls).
+
+API
+===
+
+BPF flow dissector programs operate on an ``__sk_buff``. However, only the
+limited set of fields is allowed: ``data``, ``data_end`` and ``flow_keys``.
+``flow_keys`` is ``struct bpf_flow_keys`` and contains flow dissector input
+and output arguments.
+
+The inputs are:
+  * ``nhoff`` - initial offset of the networking header
+  * ``thoff`` - initial offset of the transport header, initialized to nhoff
+  * ``n_proto`` - L3 protocol type, parsed out of L2 header
+
+Flow dissector BPF program should fill out the rest of the ``struct
+bpf_flow_keys`` fields. Input arguments ``nhoff/thoff/n_proto`` should be
+also adjusted accordingly.
+
+The return code of the BPF program is either BPF_OK to indicate successful
+dissection, or BPF_DROP to indicate parsing error.
+
+__sk_buff->data
+===============
+
+In the VLAN-less case, this is what the initial state of the BPF flow
+dissector looks like::
+
+  +------+------+------------+-----------+
+  | DMAC | SMAC | ETHER_TYPE | L3_HEADER |
+  +------+------+------------+-----------+
+                              ^
+                              |
+                              +-- flow dissector starts here
+
+
+.. code:: c
+
+  skb->data + flow_keys->nhoff point to the first byte of L3_HEADER
+  flow_keys->thoff = nhoff
+  flow_keys->n_proto = ETHER_TYPE
+
+In case of VLAN, flow dissector can be called with the two different states.
+
+Pre-VLAN parsing::
+
+  +------+------+------+-----+-----------+-----------+
+  | DMAC | SMAC | TPID | TCI |ETHER_TYPE | L3_HEADER |
+  +------+------+------+-----+-----------+-----------+
+                        ^
+                        |
+                        +-- flow dissector starts here
+
+.. code:: c
+
+  skb->data + flow_keys->nhoff point the to first byte of TCI
+  flow_keys->thoff = nhoff
+  flow_keys->n_proto = TPID
+
+Please note that TPID can be 802.1AD and, hence, BPF program would
+have to parse VLAN information twice for double tagged packets.
+
+
+Post-VLAN parsing::
+
+  +------+------+------+-----+-----------+-----------+
+  | DMAC | SMAC | TPID | TCI |ETHER_TYPE | L3_HEADER |
+  +------+------+------+-----+-----------+-----------+
+                                          ^
+                                          |
+                                          +-- flow dissector starts here
+
+.. code:: c
+
+  skb->data + flow_keys->nhoff point the to first byte of L3_HEADER
+  flow_keys->thoff = nhoff
+  flow_keys->n_proto = ETHER_TYPE
+
+In this case VLAN information has been processed before the flow dissector
+and BPF flow dissector is not required to handle it.
+
+
+The takeaway here is as follows: BPF flow dissector program can be called with
+the optional VLAN header and should gracefully handle both cases: when single
+or double VLAN is present and when it is not present. The same program
+can be called for both cases and would have to be written carefully to
+handle both cases.
+
+
+Reference Implementation
+========================
+
+See ``tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/bpf_flow.c`` for the reference
+implementation and ``tools/testing/selftests/bpf/flow_dissector_load.[hc]``
+for the loader. bpftool can be used to load BPF flow dissector program as well.
+
+The reference implementation is organized as follows:
+  * ``jmp_table`` map that contains sub-programs for each supported L3 protocol
+  * ``_dissect`` routine - entry point; it does input ``n_proto`` parsing and
+    does ``bpf_tail_call`` to the appropriate L3 handler
+
+Since BPF at this point doesn't support looping (or any jumping back),
+jmp_table is used instead to handle multiple levels of encapsulation (and
+IPv6 options).
+
+
+Current Limitations
+===================
+BPF flow dissector doesn't support exporting all the metadata that in-kernel
+C-based implementation can export. Notable example is single VLAN (802.1Q)
+and double VLAN (802.1AD) tags. Please refer to the ``struct bpf_flow_keys``
+for a set of information that's currently can be exported from the BPF context.

+
+It is important to note that althought VM ioctls may only be issued from
+the process that created the VM, a VM's lifecycle is associated with its
+file descriptor, not its creator (process).  In other words, the VM and
+its resources, *including the associated address space*, are not freed
+until the last reference to the VM's file descriptor has been released.
+For example, if fork() is issued after ioctl(KVM_CREATE_VM), the VM will
+not be freed until both the parent (original) process and its child have
+put their references to the VM's file descriptor.
+
+Because a VM's resources are not freed until the last reference to its
+file descriptor is released, creating additional references to a VM via

+discouraged and may have unwanted side effects, e.g. memory allocated
