If a hashtab is accessed in both non-NMI and NMI context, the system may deadlock on bucket->lock. Fix this issue with percpu counter map_locked. map_locked rejects concurrent access to the same bucket from the same CPU. To reduce memory overhead, map_locked is not added per bucket. Instead, 8 percpu counters are added to each hashtab. buckets are assigned to these counters based on the lower bits of its hash.

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.
