Do not hold xef->exec_queue.lock mutex while parsing the xarray xef->exec_queue.xa in xe_file_close() as it is not needed and will cause an unwanted dependency between this lock and the vm->lock. This lock protects the exec queue lookup and reference taking which doesn't apply to this code path. When FD is closing, IOCTLs presumably can't be modifying the xarray. v2: Update commit text (Matt Brost) v3: Add more code comment (Rodrigo Vivi) v4: Further expand code comment (Rodirgo Vivi) Signed-off-by: Niranjana Vishwanathapura <niranjana.vishwanathapura@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Jagmeet Randhawa <jagmeet.randhawa@intel.com> Acked-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Matthew Brost <matthew.brost@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20240529221639.23117-1-niranjana.vishwanathapura@intel.com
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 reStructuredText 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.
