Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== net: use netdev->lock to protect NAPI We recently added a lock member to struct net_device, with a vague plan to start using it to protect netdev-local state, removing the need to take rtnl_lock for new configuration APIs. Lay some groundwork and use this lock for protecting NAPI APIs. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20250114035118.110297-1-kuba@kernel.org ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250115035319.559603-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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 reStructuredText 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.
