Linus Torvalds 9fb7007de8 Char/Misc patch for 5.5-rc6
Here is a single fix, for the chrdev core, for 5.5-rc6
 
 There's been a long-standing race condition triggered by syzbot, and
 occasionally real people, in the chrdev open() path.  Will finally took
 the time to track it down and fix it for real before the holidays.
 
 Here's that one patch, it's been in linux-next for a while with no
 reported issues and it does fix the reported problem.

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.
