Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

The reverse-order double lock dance in ioc_release_fn() is using a retry loop. This is a problem on PREEMPT_RT because it could preempt the task that would release q->queue_lock and thus live lock in the retry loop. RCU is already managing the freeing of the request queue and icq. If the trylock fails, use RCU to guarantee that the request queue and icq are not freed and re-acquire the locks in the correct order, allowing forward progress.

README
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.
