mainlining shenanigans
In device control mode, the device may recommend the host to either activate or inactivate a region, and the host should follow. Meaning those are not actually recommendations, but more of instructions. Conversely, in host control mode, the recommendation protocol is slightly changed: a) The device may only recommend the host to update a subregion of an already-active region. And, b) The device may *not* recommend to inactivate a region. Furthermore, in host control mode, the host may choose not to follow any of the device's recommendations. However, in case of a recommendation to update an active and clean subregion, it is better to follow those recommendation because otherwise the host has no other way to know that some internal relocation took place.

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.
