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.

The current dsb API is not really prepared to handle multithread access. I was debugging an issue that ended up fixed by commit a096883d ("drm/i915/dsb: Remove PIN_MAPPABLE from the DSB object VMA") and was puzzled how these atomic operations were guaranteeing atomicity. if (atomic_add_return(1, &dsb->refcount) != 1) return dsb; Thread A could still be initializing dsb struct (and even fail in the middle) while thread B would take a reference and use it (even derefencing a NULL cmd_buf). I don't think the atomic operations here will help much if this were to support multithreaded scenario in future, so just remove them to avoid confusion. v2: Use refcount++ != 0 instead of ++refcount != 1 (from Ville) Signed-off-by:Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@intel.com> Reviewed-by:
