[ Upstream commitb5141915b5] The commit cited below removed the RCU read-side critical section from rtnl_fdb_dump() which means that the ndo_fdb_dump() callback is invoked without RCU protection. This results in the following warning [1] in the VXLAN driver, which relied on the callback being invoked from an RCU read-side critical section. Fix this by calling rcu_read_lock() in the VXLAN driver, as already done in the bridge driver.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
