[ Upstream commit 174974d8463b77c2b4065e98513adb204e64de7d ] If the previous thing cat'ing $debugfs/rd left the FIFO full, then subsequent open could deadlock in rd_write() (because open is blocked, not giving a chance for read() to consume any data in the FIFO). Also it is generally a good idea to clear out old data from the FIFO.

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.
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.
