Subject: [patch net-next 0/8] mlxsw: cleanup neigh handling

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@...lanox.com>

Ido says:

This series addresses long standing issues in the mlxsw driver
concerning neighbour reflection. It also prepares the code for follow-up
changes dealing with proper resource cleanup and nexthop reflection.

The first two patches convert the neighbour reflection code to use an
ordered workqueue, to prevent re-ordering of NEIGH_UPDATE events that
may happen following subsequent patches.

The third to fifth patches remove the ndo_neigh_{construct,destroy}
entry points from the driver, thereby relying only on NEIGH_UPDATE
events for neighbour reflection. This simplifies the code considerably.

Last patches are fallout and adjust nits in the code I noticed while
going over it.

Ido Schimmel (8):
  mlxsw: core: Queue work immediately instead of delaying it
  mlxsw: spectrum_router: Use ordered workqueue for neigh updates
  mlxsw: spectrum_router: Remove unused variable
  mlxsw: spectrum_router: Simplify neighbour reflection
  net: remove ndo_neigh_{construct,destroy} from stacked devices
  mlxsw: spectrum_router: Remove redundant check
  mlxsw: spectrum_router: Don't read 'nud_state' without lock
  mlxsw: spectrum_router: Fix typo in comment
