Paolo Abeni 7824463aae Merge branch 'remove-rtnl-lock-protection-of-cvq'
Daniel Jurgens says:

====================
Remove RTNL lock protection of CVQ

Currently the buffer used for control VQ commands is protected by the
RTNL lock. Previously this wasn't a major concern because the control VQ
was only used during device setup and user interaction. With the recent
addition of dynamic interrupt moderation the control VQ may be used
frequently during normal operation.

This series removes the RNTL lock dependency by introducing a mutex
to protect the control buffer and writing SGs to the control VQ.

v6:
	- Rebased over new stats code.
	- Added comment to cvq_lock, init the mutex unconditionally,
	  and replaced some duplicate code with a goto.
	- Fixed minor grammer errors, checkpatch warnings, and clarified
	  a comment.
v5:
	- Changed cvq_lock to a mutex.
	- Changed dim_lock to mutex, because it's held taking
	  the cvq_lock.
	- Use spin/mutex_lock/unlock vs guard macros.
v4:
	- Protect dim_enabled with same lock as well intr_coal.
	- Rename intr_coal_lock to dim_lock.
	- Remove some scoped_guard where the error path doesn't
	  have to be in the lock.
v3:
	- Changed type of _offloads to __virtio16 to fix static
	  analysis warning.
	- Moved a misplaced hunk to the correct patch.
v2:
	- New patch to only process the provided queue in
	  virtnet_dim_work
	- New patch to lock per queue rx coalescing structure.

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.
