Prevent netif_tx_disable() running concurrently with dev_watchdog() by
taking the device global xmit lock. Otherwise, the recommended:
netif_carrier_off(dev);
netif_tx_disable(dev);
driver shutdown sequence can happen after the watchdog has already
checked carrier, resulting in possible false alarms. This is because
netif_tx_lock() only sets the frozen bit without maintaining the locks
on the individual queues.

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.
