mlx5 IPsec code updated ESN through workqueue with allocation calls in the data path, which can be saved easily if the work is created during XFRM state initialization routine. The locking used later in the work didn't protect from anything because change of HW context is possible during XFRM state add or delete only, which can cancel work and make sure that it is not running.

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.
