Subject: [PATCH 00/14] Modify action API for implementing lockless actions

Currently, all netlink protocol handlers for updating rules, actions and
qdiscs are protected with single global rtnl lock which removes any
possibility for parallelism. This patch set is a first step to remove
rtnl lock dependency from TC rules update path. It updates act API to
use atomic operations, rcu and spinlocks for fine-grained locking. It
also extend API with functions that are needed to update existing
actions for parallel execution.

Outline of changes:
- Change tc action to use atomic reference and bind counters, rcu
  mechanism for cookie update.
- Extend action ops API with 'delete' function and 'unlocked' flag.
- Change action API to work with actions in lockless manner based on
  primitives implemented in previous patches.
- Extend action API with new functions necessary to implement unlocked
  actions.

Vlad Buslov (14):
  net: sched: use rcu for action cookie update
  net: sched: change type of reference and bind counters
  net: sched: add 'delete' function to action ops
  net: sched: implement unlocked action init API
  net: sched: always take reference to action
  net: sched: implement reference counted action release
  net: sched: use reference counting action init
  net: sched: account for temporary action reference
  net: sched: don't release reference on action overwrite
  net: sched: extend act API for lockless actions
  net: core: add new/replace rate estimator lock parameter
  net: sched: retry action check-insert on concurrent modification
  net: sched: use unique idr insert function in unlocked actions
  net: sched: implement delete for all actions
