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.

So far there was the possibility that we called
genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO)/mutex_lock() while holding an rcu_read_lock().
This included cases like:
drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock)
drbd_asb_recover_1p
drbd_khelper
drbd_bcast_event
genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO) --> may sleep
drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock)
drbd_asb_recover_1p
drbd_khelper
notify_helper
genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO) --> may sleep
drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock)
drbd_asb_recover_1p
drbd_khelper
notify_helper
mutex_lock --> may sleep
While using GFP_ATOMIC whould have been possible in the first two cases,
the real fix is to narrow the rcu_read_lock.
