Subject: [PATCH net 0/4] net-sysfs: fix race conditions in the xps code

Hello all,

This series fixes two similar issues, one with xps_cpus and one with
xps_rxqs, where a race condition can occur between accesses to the
xps_cpus and xps_rxqs maps and the update of dev->num_tc. Those races
lead to accesses outside of the map and oops being triggered. An
explanation is given in each of the commit logs.

Thanks!
Antoine

  net-sysfs: take the rtnl lock when accessing xps_rxqs_map and num_tc
