Michael Chan says: ==================== bnxt_en: Fix RTNL lock usage in bnxt_sp_task(). There are 2 function calls from bnxt_sp_task() that have buggy RTNL usage. These 2 functions take RTNL lock under some conditions, but some callers (such as open, ethtool) have already taken RTNL. These 3 patches fix the issue by making it clear that callers must take RTNL. If the caller is bnxt_sp_task() which does not automatically take RTNL, we add a common scheme for bnxt_sp_task() to call these functions properly under RTNL. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
