      netlink: kconfig: move mmap i/o into netlink kconfig · ee1bec9b
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      Currently, in menuconfig, Netlink's new mmaped IO is the very first
      entry under the ``Networking support'' item and comes even before
      ``Networking options'':
      
        [ ]   Netlink: mmaped IO
        Networking options  --->
        ...
      
      Lets move this into ``Networking options'' under netlink's Kconfig,
      since this might be more appropriate. Introduced by commit ccdfcc39
      (``netlink: mmaped netlink: ring setup'').

      netpoll: convert mutex into a semaphore · bd7c4b60

      Bart Van Assche recently reported a warning to me:

      This resulted from my commit ca99ca14 which introduced a mutex_trylock
      operation in a path that could execute in interrupt context.  When mutex
      debugging is enabled, the above warns the user when we are in fact
      exectuting in interrupt context
      interrupt context.
      
      After some discussion, It seems that a semaphore is the proper mechanism to use
      here.  While mutexes are defined to be unusable in interrupt context, no such
      condition exists for semaphores (save for the fact that the non blocking api
      calls, like up and down_trylock must be used when in irq context).
