David S. Miller 5d22d47b9e Merge branch 'sfc-filter-locking'
Edward Cree says:

====================
sfc: rework locking around filter management

The use of a spinlock to protect filter state combined with the need for a
 sleeping operation (MCDI) to apply that state to the NIC (on EF10) led to
 unfixable race conditions, around the handling of filter restoration after
 an MC reboot.
So, this patch series removes the requirement to be able to modify the SW
 filter table from atomic context, by using a workqueue to request
 asynchronous filter operations (which are needed for ARFS).  Then, the
 filter table locks are changed to mutexes, replacing the dance of spinlocks
 and 'busy' flags.  Also, a mutex is added to protect the RSS context state,
 since otherwise a similar race is possible around restoring that after an
 MC reboot.  While we're at it, fix a couple of other related bugs.
====================

README

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.
