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 file is not part of the global drm resource and can be released prior to take the global mutex to drop the open_count (and potentially close) the drm device. As the global mutex is indeed global, not only within the device but across devices, a slow file release mechanism can bottleneck the entire system. However, inside drm_close_helper() there are a number of dev->driver callbacks that take the drm_device as the first parameter... Worryingly some of those callbacks may be (implicitly) depending on the global mutex. v2: Drop the debug message for the open-count, it's included with the drm_file_free() debug message -- and for good measure make that up as reading outside of the mutex. v3: Separate the calling of the filp cleanup outside of drm_global_mutex into a new drm_release_noglobal() hook, so that we can phase the transition. drm/savage relies on the global mutex, and there may be more, so be cautious.
