Subject: [PATCH net-next 00/19] ipmr: get rid of rwlocks

We need to get rid of rwlocks in networking stacks,
if read_lock() is (ab)used from softirq context.

As discussed recently [1], rwlock are unfair by design in this case,
and writers can starve and trigger soft lockups.

This series convert ipmr code (both IPv4 and IPv6 families)
to RCU and spinlocks.

Eric Dumazet (19):
  ip6mr: do not get a device reference in pim6_rcv()
  ipmr: add rcu protection over (struct vif_device)->dev
  ipmr: change igmpmsg_netlink_event() prototype
  ipmr: ipmr_cache_report() changes
  ipmr: do not acquire mrt_lock in __pim_rcv()
  ipmr: do not acquire mrt_lock in ioctl(SIOCGETVIFCNT)
  ipmr: do not acquire mrt_lock before calling ipmr_cache_unresolved()
  ipmr: do not acquire mrt_lock while calling ip_mr_forward()
  ipmr: do not acquire mrt_lock in ipmr_get_route()
  ip6mr: ip6mr_cache_report() changes
  ip6mr: do not acquire mrt_lock in pim6_rcv()
  ip6mr: do not acquire mrt_lock in ioctl(SIOCGETMIFCNT_IN6)
  ip6mr: do not acquire mrt_lock before calling ip6mr_cache_unresolved
  ip6mr: do not acquire mrt_lock while calling ip6_mr_forward()
  ip6mr: switch ip6mr_get_route() to rcu_read_lock()
  ipmr: adopt rcu_read_lock() in mr_dump()
  ipmr: conver /proc handlers to rcu_read_lock()
  ipmr: convert mrt_lock to a spinlock
  ip6mr: convert mrt_lock to a spinlock
