Linux kernel source tree
36cb649442
There are two deadlock scenarios that need addressing, which cause
problems when the computer goes to sleep, the interface is set down, and
hwrng_unregister() is called. When the deadlock is hit, sleep is delayed
for tens of seconds, causing it to fail. These scenarios are:
1) The hwrng kthread can't be stopped while it's sleeping, because it
uses msleep_interruptible() which does not react to kthread_stop.
2) A normal user thread can't be interrupted by hwrng_unregister() while
it's sleeping, because hwrng_unregister() is called from elsewhere.
We solve both issues by add a completion object called dying that
fulfils waiters once we have started the process in hwrng_unregister.
At the same time, we should cleanup a common and useless dmesg splat
in the same area.

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.
