Chris Wilson 00c26cf9ce drm/i915: Remove toplevel struct_mutex locking from debugfs/i915_drop_caches
I have a plan to write a quick test to exercise concurrent usage of
i915_gem_shrink(), the simplest way looks to be to have multiple threads
using debugfs/i915_drop_caches. However, we currently take one lock over
the entire function, serialising the calls into i915_gem_shrink() so
reduce the lock coverage.

Testcase: igt/gem_shrink/reclaim

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
