Linus Torvalds 4691f4a6d4 Wei Yongjun fixed a long standing bug in the ring buffer startup test.
If for some unknown reason, the kthread that is created fails to be
 created, the return from kthread_create() is an PTR_ERR and not a NULL.
 The test incorrectly checks for NULL instead of an error.

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.
