The netsec driver has a rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pair around the full RX loop, covering everything up to and including xdp_do_flush(). This is actually the correct behaviour, but because it all happens in a single NAPI poll cycle (and thus under local_bh_disable()), it is also technically redundant. With the addition of RCU annotations to the XDP_REDIRECT map types that take bh execution into account, lockdep even understands this to be safe, so there's really no reason to keep the rcu_read_lock() around anymore, so let's just remove it.

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.
