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.

In order to avoid some nasty mutex inversions, commit 09c5ab38 ("drm/i915: Keep rings pinned while the context is active") allowed the intel_ring unpinning to be run concurrently with the next context pinning it. Thus each step in intel_ring_unpin() needed to be atomic and ordered in a nice onion with intel_ring_pin() so that the lifetimes overlapped and were always safe. Sadly, a few steps in intel_ring_unpin() were overlooked, such as closing the read/write pointers of the ring and discarding the intel_ring.vaddr, as these steps were not serialised with intel_ring_pin() and so could leave the ring in disarray.
