Gal Pressman 6323514116 net/mlx5e: Fix possible deadlock of VXLAN lock
mlx5e_vxlan_lookup_port is called both from mlx5e_add_vxlan_port (user
context) and mlx5e_features_check (softirq), but the lock acquired does
not disable bottom half and might result in deadlock. Fix it by simply
replacing spin_lock() with spin_lock_bh().
While at it, replace all unnecessary spin_lock_irq() to spin_lock_bh().

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.
