We mostly needed rtnl_lock in qstat to make sure the queue count is stable while we work. For "ops locked" drivers the instance lock protects the queue count, so we don't have to take rtnl_lock. For currently ops-locked drivers: netdevsim and bnxt need the protection from netdev going down while we dump, which instance lock provides. gve doesn't care.

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 reStructuredText 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.
