Dan Williams 4f8672201b libnvdimm, namespace: use a safe lookup for dimm device name
The following NULL dereference results from incorrectly assuming that
ndd is valid in this print:

  struct nvdimm_drvdata *ndd = to_ndd(&nd_region->mapping[i]);

  /*
   * Give up if we don't find an instance of a uuid at each
   * position (from 0 to nd_region->ndr_mappings - 1), or if we
   * find a dimm with two instances of the same uuid.
   */
  dev_err(&nd_region->dev, "%s missing label for %pUb\n",
                  dev_name(ndd->dev), nd_label->uuid);

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
