Implement unique insertion function to atomically attach tcf_proto to chain after verifying that no other tcf proto with specified priority exists. Implement delete function that verifies that tp is actually empty before deleting it. Use these functions to refactor cls API to account for concurrent tp and rule update instead of relying on rtnl lock. Add new 'deleting' flag to tcf proto. Use it to restart search when iterating over tp's on chain to prevent accessing potentially inval tp->next pointer. Extend tcf proto with spinlock that is intended to be used to protect its data from concurrent modification instead of relying on rtnl mutex. Use it to protect 'deleting' flag. Add lockdep macros to validate that lock is held when accessing protected fields. Signed-off-by: Vlad Buslov <vladbu@mellanox.com> Acked-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

README
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.
