Use a reference counter instead of a lock to prevent process destruction while functions running out of process context are using the kfd_process structure. In many cases these functions don't need the structure to be locked. In the few cases that really do need the process lock, take it explicitly. This helps simplify lock dependencies between the process lock and other locks, particularly amdgpu and mm_struct locks. This will be important when amdgpu calls back to amdkfd for memory evictions.

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.
