Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] xfrm: convert xfrm_state_find to rcu

This series converts state_by{dst,src,spi} to allow lookups without
holding xfrm_state_lock.

Only xfrm_state_find() is converted here for the (more common) case where
we do not query key manager.

Once more flows are created/destroyed (or the flow cache is overloaded and
often cleans out other entries) this function (and the state lock)
start to show up in perf.

Florian Westphal (6):
      xfrm: state: use hlist_for_each_entry_rcu helper
      xfrm: state: use atomic_inc_not_zero to increment refcount
      xfrm: state: delay freeing until rcu grace period has elapsed
      xfrm: state: add sequence count to detect hash resizes
      xfrm: state: use rcu_deref and assign_pointer helpers
      xfrm: state: don't use lock anymore unless acquire operation is needed

NB: I have a similar patch series for the policy rwlock, I will send
it once/if this series is applied.
