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.

[ Upstream commit c0dccad8 ] The currently lockless access to the xen console list in vtermno_to_xencons() is incorrect, as additions and removals from the list can happen anytime, and as such the traversal of the list to get the private console data for a given termno needs to happen with the lock held. Note users that modify the list already do so with the lock taken. Adjust current lock takers to use the _irq{save,restore} helpers, since the context in which vtermno_to_xencons() is called can have interrupts disabled. Use the _irq{save,restore} set of helpers to switch the current callers to disable interrupts in the locked region. I haven't checked if existing users could instead use the _irq variant, as I think it's safer to use _irq{save,restore} upfront. While there switch from using list_for_each_entry_safe to list_for_each_entry: the current entry cursor won't be removed as part of the code in the loop body, so using the _safe variant is pointless.
