Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 0/8] net: break dependency of drivers on geneve and vxlan

Device drivers which support geneve or vxlan offloading have a dependency
on the correlating tunnel kernel modules. Thus those drivers automatically
load the geneve or vxlan modules. Break this dependency with this
small series.

Additionally this series features a review of the respective ->ndo_open
and other functions around vxlan_get_rx_port and geneve_get_rx_port.

* Result:
$ cd drivers/net/ethernet/
$ find . -name '*.ko' | xargs modinfo | egrep  '^depends:.*(vxlan|geneve)'  | wc -l
0

I also incorporated feedback from Jesse Gross to only use one new
netdevice notifiers type, namely NETDEV_REFRESH_OFFLOADS. Otherwise this
series is very much the same as v1.

Hannes Frederic Sowa (8):
  qlcnic: protect qlcnic_82xx_io_slot_reset with rtnl lock
  mlx4: add rtnl lock protection in mlx4_en_restart
  ixgbe: add rtnl locking in service task around vxlan_get_rx_port
  benet: add rtnl lock protection around be_open in be_resume
  fm10k: add rtnl lock protection in fm10k_io_resume
  netdev: add netdevice notifier type to trigger a reprogramming of
    offloads
  vxlan: break dependency to network drivers
  geneve: break dependency to network drivers
