In functions mlx5e_route_lookup_ipv{4|6}() route_dev can be arbitrary net
device and not necessary mlx5 eswitch port representor. As such, in order
to ensure that route_dev is not destroyed concurrent the code needs either
explicitly take reference to the device before releasing reference to
rtable instance or ensure that caller holds rtnl lock. First approach is
chosen as a fix since rtnl lock dependency was intentionally removed from
mlx5 TC layer.
To prevent unprotected usage of route_dev in encap code take a reference to
the device before releasing rt. Don't save direct pointer to the device in
mlx5_encap_entry structure and use ifindex instead. Modify users of
route_dev pointer to properly obtain the net device instance from its
ifindex.

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.
