Different approaches have been tried to signal resets and other errors in vendor specific ways which not only resulted in a wide variety of implementations but also repeating the same bugs and problems over different drivers. Document that drivers should use dma_fence based error signaling which is vendor agnostic and allows userspace to query submission errors in generic non-vendor specific code.

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 reStructuredText 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.
