As not only is the signal->timeline volatile, so will be acquiring the timeline's HWSP. We must first carefully acquire the timeline from the signaling request and then lock the timeline. With the removal of the struct_mutex serialisation of request construction, we can have multiple timelines active at once, and so we must avoid using the nested mutex lock as it is quite possible for both timelines to be establishing semaphores on the other and so deadlock.

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.
