Linus Torvalds fed8f5090c Merge branch 'percpu_ref-rcu-audit-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc
Pull percpu_ref rcu fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "Jann Horn found that aio was depending on the internal RCU grace
  periods of percpu-ref and that it's broken because aio uses regular
  RCU while percpu_ref uses sched-RCU.

  Depending on percpu_ref's internal grace periods isn't a good idea
  because

   - The RCU type might not match.

   - percpu_ref's grace periods are used to switch to atomic mode. They
     aren't between the last put and the invocation of the last release.
     This is easy to get confused about and can lead to subtle bugs.

   - percpu_ref might not have grace periods at all depending on its
     current operation mode.

  This patchset audits and fixes percpu_ref users for their RCU usages"

[ There's a continuation of this series that clarifies percpu_ref
  documentation that the internal grace periods must not be depended
  upon, and introduces rcu_work to simplify bouncing to a workqueue
  after an RCU grace period.

  That will go in for 4.17 - this is just the minimal set with the fixes
  that are tagged for -stable ]

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.
