Nikolay Borisov 880a38547f userns: Make ucounts lock irq-safe
The ucounts_lock is being used to protect various ucounts lifecycle
management functionalities. However, those services can also be invoked
when a pidns is being freed in an RCU callback (e.g. softirq context).
This can lead to deadlocks. There were already efforts trying to
prevent similar deadlocks in add7c65ca4 ("pid: fix lockdep deadlock
warning due to ucount_lock"), however they just moved the context
from hardirq to softrq. Fix this issue once and for all by explictly
making the lock disable irqs altogether.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
