Jakub Kicinski 3d4fc6eb4b nfp: disallow sharing mutexes on the same machine
NFP can be connected to multiple machines via PCI or other buses.
Access to hardware resources is arbitrated using locks residing
in device memory.  Currently nfpcore only respects the mutexes
when it comes to inter-host locking, but if we try to acquire
the same lock again, on one host - it will simply return success
because owner of the lock is already set to that host.

This makes the locks useless for arbitration within one host
and unfair because whichever host grabbed the lock will have
a chance to reacquire it without others getting a shot.

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.
