On almost all places, we're including ReST files without the
extension.
Let's remove the extension here as well, in order to use just
one standard.

Those three new drivers were missed on the initial conversion
to ReST format. So:
- Rename them to .rst;
- Add them to the hwmon index.rst index;
- add some blank lines at the "Supported systems:" part, in
order to allow Sphinx to properly identify new lines,
suppressing warnings and avoid it to output some random
lines in bold;
- When multiple authors are involved, change the authors
part to a list, in order to avoid adding blank lines.
- adjust the table cells (one of the tables seemed to be
assuming that tab is 4 positions instead of 8) and add
the table markup.
- be sure that the section markups have the same number of
characters as the section title.

The CONFIG register has two 3-bit fields for conversion time
settings of Bus-voltage and Shunt-voltage, respectively. The
conversion settings, along with averaging mode, allow users
to optimize available timing requirement.
This patch adds an 'update_interval' sysfs node through the
hwmon_chip_info of hwmon core. It reflects a total hardware
conversion time:
samples * channels * (Bus + Shunt conversion times)
Though INA3221 supports different conversion time setups for
Bus and Shunt voltages, this patch only adds the support of
a unified setting for both conversion times, by dividing the
conversion time into two equal values.

The CONFIG register has a 3-bit averaging mode field for users
to setup the number of samples that are collected and averaged

For zero-length input, lzo v0 outputs an end-of-stream marker only,

Also fixes a bug in handling the tail for very short inputs when a

The series to add memcg accounting to KVM allocations[1] states:
There are many KVM kernel memory allocations which are tied to the
life of the VM process and should be charged to the VM process's
cgroup.
While it is correct to account KVM kernel allocations to the cgroup of
the process that created the VM, it's technically incorrect to state
that the KVM kernel memory allocations are tied to the life of the VM
process. This is because the VM itself, i.e. struct kvm, is not tied to
the life of the process which created it, rather it is tied to the life
of its associated file descriptor. In other words, kvm_destroy_vm() is
not invoked until fput() decrements its associated file's refcount to
zero. A simple example is to fork() in Qemu and have the child sleep
indefinitely; kvm_destroy_vm() isn't called until Qemu closes its file
descriptor *and* the rogue child is killed.
The allocations are guaranteed to be *accounted* to the process which
created the VM, but only because KVM's per-{VM,vCPU} ioctls reject the
ioctl() with -EIO if kvm->mm != current->mm. I.e. the child can keep
the VM "alive" but can't do anything useful with its reference.
Note that because 'struct kvm' also holds a reference to the mm_struct
of its owner, the above behavior also applies to userspace allocations.
Given that mucking with a VM's file descriptor can lead to subtle and
undesirable behavior, e.g. memcg charges persisting after a VM is shut
down, explicitly document a VM's lifecycle and its impact on the VM's
resources.
Alternatively, KVM could aggressively free resources when the creating
process exits, e.g. via mmu_notifier->release(). However, mmu_notifier
isn't guaranteed to be available, and freeing resources when the creator
exits is likely to be error prone and fragile as KVM would need to
ensure that it only freed resources that are truly out of reach. In
practice, the existing behavior shouldn't be problematic as a properly
configured system will prevent a child process from being moved out of
the appropriate cgroup hierarchy, i.e. prevent hiding the process from
the OOM killer, and will prevent an unprivileged user from being able to
to hold a reference to struct kvm via another method, e.g. debugfs.
