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.

Convert the mqueue filesystem to use the filesystem context stuff.
Notes:
(1) The relevant ipc namespace is selected in when the context is
initialised (and it defaults to the current task's ipc namespace).
The caller can override this before calling vfs_get_tree().
(2) Rather than simply calling kern_mount_data(), mq_init_ns() and
mq_internal_mount() create a context, adjust it and then do the rest
of the mount procedure.
(3) The lazy mqueue mounting on creation of a new namespace is retained
from a previous patch, but the avoidance of sget() if no superblock
yet exists is reverted and the superblock is again keyed on the
namespace pointer.
Yes, there was a performance gain in not searching the superblock
hash, but it's only paid once per ipc namespace - and only if someone
uses mqueue within that namespace, so I'm not sure it's worth it,
especially as calling sget() allows avoidance of recursion.
