Linus Torvalds bf4e7080ae fix directory locking scheme on rename
broken in 6.5; we really can't lock two unrelated directories
 without holding ->s_vfs_rename_mutex first and in case of
 same-parent rename of a subdirectory 6.5 ends up doing just
 that.

README

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.
