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.

It is safe to traverse mm->notifier_subscriptions->list either under
SRCU read lock or mm->notifier_subscriptions->lock using
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(). Silence the PROVE_RCU_LIST false positives,
for example,
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
-----------------------------
mm/mmu_notifier.c:484 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
