Subject: [PATCH net-next 00/11] net: use netdev->lock to protect NAPI

We recently added a lock member to struct net_device, with a vague
plan to start using it to protect netdev-local state, removing
the need to take rtnl_lock for new configuration APIs.

Lay some groundwork and use this lock for protecting NAPI APIs.

Jakub Kicinski (11):
  net: add netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() helpers
  net: add helpers for lookup and walking netdevs under netdev_lock()
  net: make netdev_lock() protect netdev->reg_state
  net: add netdev->up protected by netdev_lock()
  net: protect netdev->napi_list with netdev_lock()
  net: protect NAPI enablement with netdev_lock()
  net: make netdev netlink ops hold netdev_lock()
  net: protect threaded status of NAPI with netdev_lock()
  net: protect napi->irq with netdev_lock()
  net: protect NAPI config fields with netdev_lock()
  netdev-genl: remove rtnl_lock protection from NAPI ops
