Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/7] net: network drivers should not depend on geneve/vxlan

This patchset removes the dependency of network drivers on vxlan or
geneve, so those don't get autoloaded when the nic driver is loaded.

Also audited the code such that vxlan_get_rx_port and geneve_get_rx_port
are not called without rtnl lock.

Hannes Frederic Sowa (7):
  benet: be_resume needs to protect be_open with rtnl_lock
  fm10k: protect fm10k_open in fm10k_io_resume with rtnl_lock
  mlx4: protect mlx4_en_start_port in mlx4_en_restart with rtnl_lock
  ixgbe: protect vxlan_get_rx_port in ixgbe_service_task with rtnl_lock
  qlcnic: protect qlicnic_attach_func with rtnl_lock
  vxlan: break dependency with netdev drivers
  geneve: break dependency with netdev drivers
