Merge branch 'mpls-remove-rtnl-dependency'
Kuniyuki Iwashima says:
====================
mpls: Remove RTNL dependency.
MPLS uses RTNL
1) to guarantee the lifetime of struct mpls_nh.nh_dev
2) to protect net->mpls.platform_label
, but neither actually requires RTNL.
If struct mpls_nh holds a refcnt for nh_dev, we do not need RTNL,
and it can be replaced with a dedicated mutex.
The series removes RTNL from net/mpls/.
Overview:
Patch 1 is misc cleanup.
Patch 2 - 9 are prep to drop RTNL for RTM_{NEW,DEL,GET}ROUTE
handlers.
Patch 10 & 11 converts mpls_dump_routes() and RTM_GETNETCONF to RCU.
Patch 12 replaces RTNL with a new per-netns mutex.
Patch 13 drops RTNL from RTM_{NEW,DEL,GET}ROUTE.
