Linus Torvalds 200e340f21 Main part here is making parallel lookups safe for RT - making
sure preemption is disabled in start_dir_add()/ end_dir_add() sections (on
 non-RT it's automatic, on RT it needs to to be done explicitly) and moving
 wakeups from __d_lookup_done() inside of such to the end of those sections.
 	Wakeups can be safely delayed for as long as ->d_lock on in-lookup
 dentry is held; proving that has caught a bug in d_add_ci() that allows
 memory corruption when sufficiently bogus ntfs (or case-insensitive xfs)
 image is mounted.  Easily fixed, fortunately.

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.
