[ Upstream commit baac8351f74c543896b8fd40138b7ad9365587a3 ]
Currently eswitch mode_lock is so heavy, for example, it's locked
during the whole process of the mode change, which may need to hold
other locks. As the mode_lock is also used by IPSec to block mode and
encap change now, it is easy to cause lock dependency.
Since some of protections are also done by devlink lock, the eswitch
mode_lock is not needed at those places, and thus the possibility of
lockdep issue is reduced.

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.
