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.

Check that request has not been signaled before acquiring a reference to the request for signaling later in the interrupt handler. The loading of the cacheline (for request->fence.flags) should be "free" when followed by the locked increment of the request->fence.refcount (which then sets the cacheline to exclusive mode), i.e. the cost of test_bit prior to an atomic_inc should be negligible. This should benefit us when we have a pile of bare breadcrumbs (interrupted execbuf) where we may get interrupts faster than we can get rid of the intel_wait, or if the device is too slow to run the bottom-half between interrupts.
