Dan Williams b5d24fda9c mm, devm_memremap_pages: hold device_hotplug lock over mem_hotplug_{begin, done}
The mem_hotplug_{begin,done} lock coordinates with {get,put}_online_mems()
to hold off "readers" of the current state of memory from new hotplug
actions.  mem_hotplug_begin() expects exclusive access, via the
device_hotplug lock, to set mem_hotplug.active_writer.  Calling
mem_hotplug_begin() without locking device_hotplug can lead to
corrupting mem_hotplug.refcount and missed wakeups / soft lockups.

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.
