Currently ocelot_set_rx_mode calls ocelot_mact_learn directly, which has
a very nice ocelot_mact_wait_for_completion at the end. Introduced in
commit 639c1b2625 ("net: mscc: ocelot: Register poll timeout should be
wall time not attempts"), this function uses readx_poll_timeout which
triggers a lot of lockdep warnings and is also dangerous to use from
atomic context, potentially leading to lockups and panics.
Steen Hegelund added a poll timeout of 100 ms for checking the MAC
table, a duration which is clearly absurd to poll in atomic context.
So we need to defer the MAC table access to process context, which we do
via a dynamically allocated workqueue which contains all there is to
know about the MAC table operation it has to do.

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.
