The algorithm in the original paper specifies the storage of full magazines in the depot as an unbounded list rather than a fixed-size array. It turns out to be pretty straightforward to do this in our implementation with no significant loss of efficiency. This allows the depot to scale up to the working set sizes of larger systems, while also potentially saving some memory on smaller ones too. Since this involves touching struct iova_magazine with the requisite care, we may as well reinforce the comment with a proper assertion too.

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.
