There isn't much worse than documentation giving an incorrect advise. Grabbing a spinlock while interrupts are disabled usually means that you must also disable interrupts for all other uses of this spinlock. Otherwise really hard to debug issues can occur. So fix that invalid documentation. v2: use Dmitry's suggestion on the documentation Signed-off-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Simona Vetter <simona.vetter@ffwll.ch> (v1) Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20250211163109.12200-2-christian.koenig@amd.com
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 reStructuredText 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.
