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.

After waiting for the volume to complete the acquisition with timeout,
the if condition under which potential volume collision occurs should be
acquire the volume is still pending rather than not pending so that we
will continue to wait until the pending flag is cleared. Also, use the
existing test pending wrapper directly instead of test_bit().

Currently unpoison_memory(unsigned long pfn) is designed for soft
poison(hwpoison-inject) only. Since 17fae1294ad9d, the KPTE gets cleared
on a x86 platform once hardware memory corrupts.
Unpoisoning a hardware corrupted page puts page back buddy only, the
kernel has a chance to access the page with *NOT PRESENT* KPTE. This
leads BUG during accessing on the corrupted KPTE.
Suggested by David&Naoya, disable unpoison mechanism when a real HW error
happens to avoid BUG like this:
Unpoison: Software-unpoisoned page 0x61234
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff888061234000
#PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page
