Linux kernel source tree

vma_start_read() can drop and reacquire RCU lock in certain failure cases. It's not apparent that the RCU session started by the caller of this function might be interrupted when vma_start_read() fails to lock the vma. This might become a source of subtle bugs and to prevent that we change the locking rules for vma_start_read() to drop RCU read lock upon failure. This way it's more obvious that RCU-protected objects are unsafe after vma locking fails.

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 reStructuredText 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.
