Patch series "selftests/mm: revert pthread_barrier change" On Android arm, pthread_create followed by a fork caused a deadlock in the case where the fork required work to be completed by the created thread. The previous patches incorrectly assumed that the parent would always initialize the pthread_barrier for the child thread. This reverts the change and replaces the fix for wp-fork-with-event with the original use of atomic_bool. This patch (of 3): This reverts commite142cc87ac. fork_event_consumer may be called by other tests that do not initialize the pthread_barrier, so this approach is not correct. The subsequent patch will revert to using atomic_bool instead.

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.
