If we create a new node, it is possible for the slab allocator to return
us a recently freed node. If that node was just retired, it will retain
the current jiffy as its node->age. There is then a miniscule window,
where as that node is retired, it will appear on the free list with an
incorrect age and be eligible for reuse by one thread, and then by a
second thread as the correct node->age is written.

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.
