Our static checker found a bug where set_serial_info() uses a mutex, but
get_serial_info() does not. Fortunately, the impact of this is relatively
minor. It doesn't cause a crash or any other serious issues. However, if a
race condition occurs between set_serial_info() and get_serial_info(),
there is a chance that the data returned by get_serial_info() will be
meaningless.

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.
