mainlining shenanigans
fd5736bf9f
Due to a hardware issue, an access to MDIO registers that is concurrent with other ENETC register accesses may lead to the MDIO access being dropped or corrupted. The workaround introduces locking for all register accesses to the ENETC register space. To reduce performance impact, a readers-writers locking scheme has been implemented. The writer in this case is the MDIO access code (irrelevant whether that MDIO access is a register read or write), and the reader is any access code to non-MDIO ENETC registers. Also, the datapath functions acquire the read lock fewer times and use _hot accessors. All the rest of the code uses the _wa accessors which lock every register access.

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.
