Currently, all netlink protocol handlers for updating rules, actions and qdiscs are protected with single global rtnl lock which removes any possibility for parallelism. This patch set is a first step to remove rtnl lock dependency from TC rules update path.
I've reviewed this a few time but since this is a rather non-trivial set of changes I'm going to let others have a chance to review and give feedback as well. Thanks.
