Subject: [PATCH net-next 00/13] rtnetlink: reduce RTNL pressure for dumps

This series restarts the conversion of rtnl dump operations
to RCU protection, instead of requiring RTNL.

In this new attempt (prior one failed in 2009), I chose to
allow a gradual conversion of selected operations.

After this series, "ip -6 addr" and "ip -4 ro" no longer
need to acquire RTNL.

I refrained from changing inet_dump_ifaddr() and inet6_dump_addr()
to avoid merge conflicts because of two fixes in net tree.

I also started the work for "ip link" future conversion.

Eric Dumazet (13):
  rtnetlink: prepare nla_put_iflink() to run under RCU
  ipv6: prepare inet6_fill_ifla6_attrs() for RCU
  ipv6: prepare inet6_fill_ifinfo() for RCU protection
  ipv6: use xarray iterator to implement inet6_dump_ifinfo()
  netlink: fix netlink_diag_dump() return value
  netlink: hold nlk->cb_mutex longer in __netlink_dump_start()
  rtnetlink: change nlk->cb_mutex role
  rtnetlink: add RTNL_FLAG_DUMP_UNLOCKED flag
  ipv6: switch inet6_dump_ifinfo() to RCU protection
  inet: allow ip_valid_fib_dump_req() to be called with RTNL or RCU
  inet: switch inet_dump_fib() to RCU protection
  rtnetlink: make rtnl_fill_link_ifmap() RCU ready
  rtnetlink: provide RCU protection to rtnl_fill_prop_list()
