Linus Torvalds 3c999d1ae3 workqueue: Changes for v6.10
- Work items can now be disabled and enabled, and cancel_work_sync() and
   disable_work() can be called form atomic contexts for BH work items. This
   closes feature gap with tasklet and should allow converting all existing
   tasklet users to BH workqueues.
 
 - Improve pool sharing for unbound workqueues with strict affinity.
 
 - Misc changes including doc updates, improved debug annotations and
   cleanups.

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.
