Jan Kara 05f0e38724 fanotify: Release SRCU lock when waiting for userspace response
When userspace task processing fanotify permission events screws up and
does not respond, fsnotify_mark_srcu SRCU is held indefinitely which
causes further hangs in the whole notification subsystem. Although we
cannot easily solve the problem of operations blocked waiting for
response from userspace, we can at least somewhat localize the damage by
dropping SRCU lock before waiting for userspace response and reacquiring
it when userspace responds.

README

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.
