[ Upstream commit 4a971e84a7ae10a38d875cd2d4e487c8d1682ca3 ] For avoiding the potential deadlock via kill_fasync() call, use the new fasync helpers to defer the invocation from the control API. Note that it's merely a workaround. Another note: although we haven't received reports about the deadlock with the control API, the deadlock is still potentially possible, and it's better to align the behavior with other core APIs (PCM and timer); so let's move altogether.

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.
