    Michael Kerrisk  [William Morriss]
        ERRORS: Add EADDRNOTAVAIL for ephemeral port range exhaustion

            See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745775
    Michael Kerrisk
        Remove mention of ip_local_port_range under EAGAIN error

fanotify_init.2
    Heinrich Schuchardt [Michael Kerrisk]
        Document range of permitted flags for event_f_flags

        Describe timeout bug
            See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75371

remap_file_pages.2
    Andy Lutomirski [Christoph Hellwig, Andy Lutomirski]
        remap_file_pages() has no benefit for real files
            Linux commit 3ee6dafc677a68e461a7ddafc94a580ebab80735 caused

        Remove BUGS text on glibc failing to declare in_pktinfo
    Michael Kerrisk
        Clarify 'ip_local_port_range' and mention the term "ephemeral ports"
    Michael Kerrisk
        Note some more details about assignment of ephemeral ports
    Michael Kerrisk
        BUGS: ephemeral port range exhaustion is diagnosed inconsistently
            Different system calls use different 'errno' values to diagnose
            exhaustion of the ephemeral port range.

sched.7
    Michael Kerrisk
        Document sched_rt_period_us and sched_rt_runtime_us /proc files
            And rework and relocate the text on dealing with runaway
            real-time processes.
