Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] netpoll: make sure napi_list is safe for RCU traversal

Hi!

This series is a follow-up to the fix in commit 96e97bc07e90 ("net: 
disable netpoll on fresh napis"). To avoid any latent race conditions
convert dev->napi_list to a proper RCU list. We need minor restructuring
because it looks like netif_napi_del() used to be idempotent, and
it may be quite hard to track down everyone who depends on that.

Jakub Kicinski (3):
  net: remove napi_hash_del() from driver-facing API
  net: manage napi add/del idempotence explicitly
  net: make sure napi_list is safe for RCU traversal
