The PTP code needs low latency access to the PTP hardware timestamps. Reading all the ATU entries in one go adds a lot of latency to the PTP code. So take and release the reg_lock mutex for each individual MAC address in the ATU, allowing the PTP thread jump in between. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
