Sometimes a test has to wait for RCU to complete a grace period and perform its callbacks, for example waiting for a close(fd) to actually perform the fput(filp) and so trigger all the callbacks such as closing GEM contexts. There is no trivial means of triggering an RCU barrier from userspace, so add one for our convenience in debugfs/i915_drop_caches Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Matthew Auld <matthew.william.auld@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.william.auld@gmail.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20191011173823.20432-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
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.
