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.

wake_up_locked() may but does not have to be called with interrupts
disabled. Since the fuse filesystem calls wake_up_locked() without
disabling interrupts aio_poll_wake() may be called with interrupts
enabled. Since the kioctx.ctx_lock may be acquired from IRQ context,
all code that acquires that lock from thread context must disable
interrupts. Hence change the spin_trylock() call in aio_poll_wake()
into a spin_trylock_irqsave() call. This patch fixes the following
lockdep complaint:
