Linux kernel source tree
9fd45235fd
simple_recursive_removal() assumes that parent is not locked and locks it when it finally gets to removing the victim itself. Usually that's what we want, but there are places where the parent is *already* locked and we need it to stay that way. In those cases simple_recursive_removal() would, of course, deadlock, so we have to play racy games with unlocking/relocking the parent around the call or open-code the entire thing. A better solution is to provide a variant that expects to be called with the parent already locked by the caller. Parent should be locked with I_MUTEX_PARENT, to avoid false positives from lockdep.

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.
