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.

The driver's ndo_get_stats64() method is not always called under RTNL. So it can race with driver close or ethtool reconfigurations. Fix the race condition by taking tp->lock spinlock in tg3_free_consistent() when freeing the tp->hw_stats memory block. tg3_get_stats64() is already taking tp->lock.
