Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] net: avoid slow rcu synchronizations in cleanup_net()

RTNL is a contended mutex, we prefer to expedite rcu synchronizations
in contexts we hold RTNL.

Similarly, cleanup_net() is a single threaded critical component and
should also use synchronize_rcu_expedited() even when not holding RTNL.

First patch removes a barrier with no clear purpose in ipv6_mc_down()

Eric Dumazet (6):
  ipv6: mcast: remove one synchronize_net() barrier in ipv6_mc_down()
  net: use synchronize_net() in dev_change_name()
  bridge: vlan: use synchronize_net() when holding RTNL
  ipv4/fib: use synchronize_net() when holding RTNL
  net: use synchronize_rcu_expedited in cleanup_net()
  netfilter: conntrack: expedite rcu in nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list
