Linus Torvalds 62180152e0 A fix for the CPU hotplug and cpusets interaction:
cpusets delegate the hotplug work to a workqueue to prevent a lock order
 inversion vs. the CPU hotplug lock. The work is not flushed before the
 hotplug operation returns which creates user visible inconsistent state.
 Prevent this by flushing the work after dropping CPU hotplug lock and
 before releasing the outer mutex which serializes the CPU hotplug related
 sysfs interface operations.

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.
