Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
1f80bd6a6c
The locking order of vlan_rwsem (LOCK A) and then rtnl (LOCK B),
contradicts other flows such as ipoib_open possibly causing a deadlock.
To prevent this deadlock heavy flush is called with RTNL locked and
only then tries to acquire vlan_rwsem.
This deadlock is possible only when there are child interfaces.

README
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.
