Tariq Toukan a1eaba4c5c net/mlx5e: Non-atomic indicator for ring enabled state
Rings enabled state change occurs in control path only, and is always
followed by a napi_sychronize(), so that following NAPIs read the
new value. This read does not need to be atomic.

The RQ auto-moderation bit is not set/cleared in data-path.
No need for atomic read, a regular read operation is sufficient.
In RQ creation time as well, there's no multiple threads trying
to access it yet, hence a regular read can be used.

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.
