Steen Hegelund says: ==================== sparx5: Improve locking in the VCAP API This improves the VCAP cache and the VCAP rule list protection against access from different sources. The VCAP Admin lock protects the list of rules for the VCAP instance as well as the cache used for encoding and decoding rules. This series provides dedicated functions for accessing rule statistics, decoding rule content, verifying if a rule exists and getting a rule with the lock held, as well as ensuring the use of the lock when the list of rules or the cache is accessed. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
