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.

The variable kfence_metadata is initialized in kfence_init_pool(), then, it is not initialized if kfence is disabled after booting. In this case, kfence_metadata will be used (e.g. ->lock and ->state fields) without initialization when reading /sys/kernel/debug/kfence/objects. There will be a warning if you enable CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK. Fix it by creating debugfs files when necessary.
