[I got two patches for this; the other from Florian Weimer]
According to the following kernel code, preadv2(2)/pwritev2(2) with
an unknown flag actually returned EOPNOTSUPP instead of EINVAL:
----------------------------------------------------------------
static inline int kiocb_set_rw_flags(struct kiocb *ki, rwf_t flags)
{
if (unlikely(flags & ~RWF_SUPPORTED)) {
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
}
...
}
static ssize_t do_loop_readv_writev(struct file *filp, struct iov_iter *iter,
loff_t *ppos, int type, rwf_t flags)
{
...
if (flags & ~RWF_HIPRI)
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
...
}

The list of address families in this page is still
overwhelmingly long. So let's shorten it.
The removed entries are all in address_families(7).

There is too much detail in socket(2). Move most of it into

Perhaps some people might misunderstand memory allocated by
alloca() to be like other memory allocated on the stack: that when
the allocation (or the pointer to the allocation) goes out of
scope, the memory is freed. Add some text to prevent that
misunderstanding.

Clarify the example by making an implied detail more explicit.
Quoting the Troy Engel on the problem with the original text:
The problem is "and a process in a sibling cgroup (sub2)"
(shown as PID 20124 here) - how did this get here? How do I
recreate this? Following this example, there's no mention of
how, it's out of place when following the instructions.
There is nothing in any of the cgroup files which contain
this (# grep freezer /proc/*/cgroup) while at this stage.
The intent is understood, however the man page seems to skip
a step to create this in the teaching example. We should add
whatever simple steps are needed to create the "process in a
sibling cgroup" as outlined so it makes sense - as written,
I have no clue where "sibling cgroup (sub2)" came from, it
just appeared out of the blue in that step. Thanks!
