Heiner Kallweit abe5fc42f9 r8169: use RTNL to protect critical sections
Most relevant ops (open, close, ethtool ops) are protected with RTNL
lock by net core. Make sure that such ops can't be interrupted by
e.g. (runtime-)suspending by taking the RTNL lock in suspend ops
and the PCI error handler.

README

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.
