Add a simple file stressor that lives directly in-tree. This will create
a bunch of processes that each open 500 file descriptors and then use
close_range() to close them all.
Concurrently, other processes read /proc/<pid>/fd/ which rougly does
f = fget_task_next(p, &fd);
if (!f)
break;
data.mode = f->f_mode;
fput(f);
Which means that it'll try to get a reference to a file in another
task's file descriptor table.
Under heavy file load it is increasingly likely that the other task will
manage to close @file and @file will be recycled due to
SLAB_TYPEAFE_BY_RCU concurrently. This will trigger various warnings in
the file reference counting code.

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.
