Linux kernel source tree

Previously, flushing a netdevice involved first flushing all child devices from the flush task itself. That requires holding the lock that protects the list for the entire duration of the flush. This poses a problem when converting from vlan_rwsem to the netdev instance lock (next patch), because holding the parent lock while trying to acquire a child lock makes lockdep unhappy, rightfully. Fix this by splitting a big flush task into individual flush tasks (all are already created in their respective ipoib_dev_priv structs) and defining a helper function to enqueue all of them while holding the list lock. In ipoib_set_mac, the function is not used and the task is enqueued directly, because in the subsequent patches locking is changed and this function may be called with the netdev instance lock held. This is effectively a noop, the wq is single-threaded and ordered and will execute the same flush operations in the same order as before. Furthermore, there should be no new races because ipoib_parent_unregister_pre() calls flush_workqueue() after stopping new work generation to wait for pending work to complete. flush_workqueue() waits for all currently enqueued work to finish before returning.

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 reStructuredText 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.
