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.

There is one one corner case at dma_fence_signal_locked
which will raise the NULL pointer problem just like below.
->dma_fence_signal
->dma_fence_signal_locked
->test_and_set_bit
here trigger dma_fence_release happen due to the zero of fence refcount.
->dma_fence_put
->dma_fence_release
->drm_sched_fence_release_scheduled
->call_rcu
here make the union fled “cb_list” at finished fence
to NULL because struct rcu_head contains two pointer
which is same as struct list_head cb_list
Therefore, to hold the reference of finished fence at drm_sched_process_job
to prevent the null pointer during finished fence dma_fence_signal
