David S. Miller e3144ff52f Merge branch 'rfs-lockless-annotate'
Eric Dumazet says:

====================
rfs: annotate lockless accesses

rfs runs without locks held, so we should annotate
read and writes to shared variables.

It should prevent compilers forcing writes
in the following situation:

  if (var != val)
     var = val;

A compiler could indeed simply avoid the conditional:

    var = val;

This matters if var is shared between many cpus.

v2: aligns one closing bracket (Simon)
    adds Fixes: tags (Jakub)

README

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.
