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.

Lately, an additional locking was added by commit c0a40097 ("drivers: core: synchronize really_probe() and dev_uevent()"). The locking protects dev_uevent() calling. This function is used to send messages from the kernel to user space. Uevent messages notify user space about changes in device states, such as when a device is added, removed, or changed. These messages are used by udev (or other similar user-space tools) to apply device-specific rules. After reloading devlink instance, udev events should be processed. This locking causes a short delay of udev events handling. One example for useful udev rule is renaming ports. 'forwading.config' can be configured to use names after udev rules are applied. Some tests run devlink_reload() and immediately use the updated names. This worked before the above mentioned commit was pushed, but now the delay of uevent messages causes that devlink_reload() returns before udev events are handled and tests fail. Adjust devlink_reload() to not assume that udev events are already processed when devlink reload is done, instead, wait for udev events to ensure they are processed before returning from the function.
