This switches to a single list of waiters, instead of separate lists for read and intent, and switches write locks to also use the wait lists instead of being handled differently. Also, removal from the wait list is now done by the process waiting on the lock, not the process doing the wakeup. This is needed for the new deadlock cycle detector - we need tasks to stay on the waitlist until they've successfully acquired the lock. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev>
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.
