Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: spectrum_acl: Don't take rtnl mutex for region rehash Jiri says: During region rehash, a new region is created with a more optimized set of masks (ERPs). When transitioning to the new region, all the rules from the old region are copied one-by-one to the new region. This transition can be time consuming and currently done under RTNL lock. In order to remove RTNL lock dependency during region rehash, introduce multiple smaller locks guarding dedicated structures or parts of them. That is the vast majority of this patchset. Only patch #1 is simple cleanup and patches 12-15 are improving or introducing new selftests. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
