XDP programs are called from a NAPI poll context, which means the RCU reference liveness is ensured by local_bh_disable(). Add rcu_read_lock_bh_held() as a condition to the RCU checks for map lookups so lockdep understands that the dereferences are safe from inside *either* an rcu_read_lock() section *or* a local_bh_disable() section. While both bh_disabled and rcu_read_lock() provide RCU protection, they are semantically distinct, so we need both conditions to prevent lockdep complaints. This change is done in preparation for removing the redundant rcu_read_lock()s from drivers.

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.
