Merge branch 'ipmr-remove-rwlocks'
Eric Dumazet says: ==================== ipmr: get rid of rwlocks We need to get rid of rwlocks in networking stacks, if read_lock() is (ab)used from softirq context. As discussed recently [1], rwlock are unfair by design in this case, and writers can starve and trigger soft lockups. This series convert ipmr code (both IPv4 and IPv6 families) to RCU and spinlocks. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/6/17/272 v2: fixed two typos, and resent because patch 19/19 did not make it to patchwork. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
