This is a part of overall refactoring attempt to separate nic and the core drivers. Currently, there are 4 different flows, that contain very similar code. These are the ts, nic, hwblocks and cb alloc/map flows. The similar aspect of all these flows is that they all contain a central store, with memory buffers inside, supporting the following set of operations: - Allocate buffer and return handle - Get buffer from the store with handle - Put the buffer (last put releases the buffer) - Map the buffer to the user This patch contains a generic data structure used to implement the above memory buffer store interface. Conversion of the existing code to use the new data structure will follow.

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.
