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.
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 25d56488 ] I got a deadloop report while doing device(ds2482) add/remove test: [ 162.241881] w1_master_driver w1_bus_master1: Waiting for w1_bus_master1 to become free: refcnt=1. [ 163.272251] w1_master_driver w1_bus_master1: Waiting for w1_bus_master1 to become free: refcnt=1. [ 164.296157] w1_master_driver w1_bus_master1: Waiting for w1_bus_master1 to become free: refcnt=1. ... __w1_remove_master_device() can't return, because the dev->refcnt is not zero. w1_add_master_device() | w1_alloc_dev() | atomic_set(&dev->refcnt, 2) | kthread_run() | |__w1_remove_master_device() | kthread_stop() // KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP is set, | // threadfn(w1_process) won't be | // called. | kthread() | | // refcnt will never be 0, it's deadloop. | while (atomic_read(&dev->refcnt)) {...} After calling w1_add_master_device(), w1_process() is not really invoked, before w1_process() starting, if kthread_stop() is called in __w1_remove_master_device(), w1_process() will never be called, the refcnt can not be decreased, then it causes deadloop in remove function because of non-zero refcnt. We need to make sure w1_process() is really started, so move the set refcnt into w1_process() to fix this problem.
