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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.

When an item of struct tipc_subscription is created, we fail to initialize the two lists aggregated into the struct. This has so far never been a problem, since the items are just added to a root object by list_add(), which does not require the addee list to be pre-initialized. However, syzbot is provoking situations where this addition fails, whereupon the attempted removal if the item from the list causes a crash. This problem seems to always have been around, despite that the code for creating this object was rewritten in commit 242e82cc ("tipc: collapse subscription creation functions"), which is still in net-next. We fix this for that commit by initializing the two lists properly.
