The definition of static_key_slow_inc() has cpus_read_lock in place. In the virtio_net driver, XPS queues are initialized after setting the queue:cpu affinity in virtnet_set_affinity() which is already protected within cpus_read_lock. Lockdep prints a warning when we are trying to acquire cpus_read_lock when it is already held. This patch adds an ability to call __netif_set_xps_queue under cpus_read_lock().

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.
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.
