Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/4] bonding work-queues, try_rtnl() & notifications

This patch series tries to address the issue discovered in various work-
queues and the way these handlers deal with the RTNL. Especially for 
notification handling. If RTNL can not be acquired, these handlers ignore
sending notifications and just re-arm the timer. This could be very 
problematic if the re-arm timer has larger value (e.g. in minutes).

Mahesh Bandewar (4):
  bonding: Handle notifications during work-queue processing gracefully
  bonding: Do not ignore notifications for miimon-work-queue
  bonding: Do not ignore notifications for AD-work-queue
  bonding: Do not ignore notifications for ARP-work-queue
