i40e_config_vf_promiscuous_mode() calls
i40e_getnum_vf_vsi_vlan_filters() without acquiring the
mac_filter_hash_lock spinlock.
This is unsafe because mac_filter_hash may get altered in another thread
while i40e_getnum_vf_vsi_vlan_filters() traverses the hashes.
Simply adding the spinlock in i40e_getnum_vf_vsi_vlan_filters() is not
possible as it already gets called in i40e_get_vlan_list_sync() with the
spinlock held. Therefore adding a wrapper that acquires the spinlock and
call the correct function where appropriate.

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.
