Linux kernel source tree
1c4dbe056d
Since the ww transaction endpoint easily end up far out-of-scope of the objects on the ww object list, particularly for contending lock objects, make sure we reference objects on the list so they don't disappear under us. This comes with a performance penalty so it's been debated whether this is really needed. But I think this is motivated by the fact that locking is typically difficult to get right, and whatever we can do to make it simpler for developers moving forward should be done, unless the performance impact is far too high.

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.
