Christoph Hellwig ae62c16e10 userfaultfd: disable irqs when taking the waitqueue lock
userfaultfd contains howe-grown locking of the waitqueue lock, and does
not disable interrupts.  This relies on the fact that no one else takes it
from interrupt context and violates an invariat of the normal waitqueue
locking scheme.  With aio poll it is easy to trigger other locks that
disable interrupts (or are called from interrupt context).

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.
