Linus Torvalds 1959e18cc0 Removing subtrees of kernel filesystems is done in quite a few
places; unfortunately, it's easy to get wrong.  A number of open-coded
 attempts are out there, with varying amount of bogosities.
 
 	simple_recursive_removal() had been introduced for doing that with
 all precautions needed; it does an equivalent of rm -rf, with sufficient
 locking, eviction of anything mounted on top of the subtree, etc.
 
 	This series converts a bunch of open-coded instances to using that.

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.
