In the following sequence of calls, iop_do_send() gets called when the
"send" channel is not in the IOP_MSG_IDLE state:
iop_ism_irq()
iop_handle_send()
(msg->handler)()
iop_send_message()
iop_do_send()
Avoid this by testing the channel state before calling iop_do_send().
When sending, and iop_send_queue is empty, call iop_do_send() because
the channel is idle. If iop_send_queue is not empty, iop_do_send() will
get called later by iop_handle_send().

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.
