Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] net: do not rely on rtnl in netdev_nl_napi_get_xxx()

With upcoming per netns RTNL, rtnl use in netdev_nl_napi_get_doit()
and netdev_nl_napi_get_dumpit() is a bit problematic.

They can be changed to only rely on RCU.

Eric Dumazet (2):
  netdev-genl: do not use rtnl in netdev_nl_napi_get_doit()
  netdev-genl: do not use rtnl in netdev_nl_napi_get_dumpit()
