Merge branch 'Introduce-net_rwsem-to-protect-net_namespace_list'
Kirill Tkhai says: ==================== Introduce net_rwsem to protect net_namespace_list The series introduces fine grained rw_semaphore, which will be used instead of rtnl_lock() to protect net_namespace_list. This improves scalability and allows to do non-exclusive sleepable iteration for_each_net(), which is enough for most cases. scripts/get_maintainer.pl gives enormous list of people, and I add all to CC. Note, that this patch is independent of "Close race between {un, }register_netdevice_notifier and pernet_operations": https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?series=36495Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com> ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
