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.

Fanotify code has its own lock (access_lock) to protect a list of events waiting for a response from userspace. However this is somewhat awkward as the same list_head in the event is protected by notification_lock if it is part of the notification queue and by access_lock if it is part of the fanotify private queue which makes it difficult for any reliable checks in the generic code. So make fanotify use the same lock - notification_lock - for protecting its private event list.
