Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next 0/4] net/sched: optimizations around action binding and init

Patches 1 and 2 are scaling optimizations for action binding in
rtnl-less filters. We saw a noticeable lock contention when testing
in a 56 core system, which disappeared after the patches.

Patches 3 and 4 propagate the expectation that such arrays are contiguous
and don't admit holes in them into leaf functions.

Pedro Tammela (4):
  net/sched: act_api: rely on rcu in tcf_idr_check_alloc
  net/sched: act_api: skip idr replace on bound actions
  net/sched: act_api: stop loop over ops array on NULL in
    tcf_action_init
  net/sched: act_api: stop loop over actions array on NULL in
    tcf_idr_insert_many
