Adminq commands for queues creation and destruction were not consistently protected by the driver's adminq_lock. This was previously benign as these operations were always initiated from contexts holding kernel-level locks (e.g., rtnl_lock, netdev_lock), which provided serialization. Upcoming PTP aux_work will issue adminq commands directly from the driver to read the NIC clock, without such kernel lock protection. To prevent race conditions with this new PTP work, this patch ensures the adminq_lock is held during queues creation and destruction.

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.
