[ Upstream commit ac8c58f5b535d6272324e2b8b4a0454781c9147e ] Recent net core changes caused an issue with few Intel drivers (reportedly igb), where taking RTNL in RPM resume path results in a deadlock. See [0] for a bug report. I don't think the core changes are wrong, but taking RTNL in RPM resume path isn't needed. The Intel drivers are the only ones doing this. See [1] for a discussion on the issue. Following patch changes the RPM resume path to not take RTNL.

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.
