For notifications that the router needs to handle, router lock is taken. Further, at least to determine whether an event is related to a tunnel underlay, router lock also needs to be taken. Due to this, the router lock is always taken for each unhandled event, and also for some handled events, even if they are not related to underlay. Thus each event implies at least one router lock, sometimes two. Instead of deferring the locking to the leaf handlers, take the lock in the router notifier handler always. This simplifies thinking about the locking state, and in some cases saves one lock cycle.

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.
