Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
ee8ef0a4b1
Patch series "waitqueue lockdep annotation", v3. This series adds a strategic lockdep_assert_held to __wake_up_common to ensure callers really do hold the wait_queue_head lock when calling the unlocked wake_up variants. It turns out epoll did not do this for a fairly common path (hit all the time by systemd during bootup), so the second patch fixed this instance as well. This patch (of 3): The epoll code currently uses the unlocked waitqueue helpers for managing ep->wq, but instead of holding the waitqueue lock around these calls, it uses its own ep->lock spinlock. Given that the waitqueue is not exposed to the rest of the kernel this actually works ok at the moment, but prevents the epoll locking rules from being enforced using lockdep. Remove ep->lock and use the waitqueue lock to not only reduce the size of struct eventpoll but also to make sure we can assert locking invariants in the waitqueue code.

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.
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.
