Currently, debt handling requires only iocg->waitq.lock. In the future, we want to adjust and propagate inuse changes depending on debt status. Let's grab ioc->lock in debt handling paths in preparation. * Because ioc->lock nests outside iocg->waitq.lock, the decision to grab ioc->lock needs to be made before entering the critical sections. * Add and use iocg_[un]lock() which handles the conditional double locking. * Add @pay_debt to iocg_kick_waitq() so that debt payment happens only when the caller grabbed both locks. This patch is prepatory and the comments contain references to future changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
