When peernet2id() had to lock "nsid_lock" before iterating through the
nsid table, we had to disable BHs, because VXLAN can call peernet2id()
from the xmit path:
vxlan_xmit() -> vxlan_fdb_miss() -> vxlan_fdb_notify()
-> __vxlan_fdb_notify() -> vxlan_fdb_info() -> peernet2id().
Now that peernet2id() uses RCU protection, "nsid_lock" isn't used in BH
context anymore. Therefore, we can safely use plain
spin_lock()/spin_unlock() and let BHs run when holding "nsid_lock".

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.
