[PATCH net-next 0/2] net: core: rcuify rtnl af_ops

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Date: 2017-10-16 13:44:20

None of the rtnl af_ops callbacks sleep, so they can be called while
holding rcu read lock.

Switch handling of af_ops to rcu.

This would allow to later call af_ops functions without holding
the rtnl mutex anymore.
