Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

gen estimator has been rewritten in commit 1c0d32fd ("net_sched: gen_estimator: complete rewrite of rate estimators"), the caller is no longer needed to wait for a grace period. So this patch gets rid of it. This also completely closes a race condition between action free path and filter chain add/remove path for the following patch. Because otherwise the nested RCU callback can't be caught by rcu_barrier(). Please see also the comments in code.
