Hello: This series was applied to netdev/net-next.git (main) by Jakub Kicinski [off-list ref]: On Thu, 4 Jun 2026 17:29:00 -0700 you wrote:
With the ethtool_get_link_ksettings() situation hopefully ironed out the previous series (commit 6a5d837f0ce2) let's return to the main part of the series. We have been slowly moving towards removing the rtnl_lock dependency in driver ops since the concept of "ops-locked" drivers have been introduced last year. Since last year will take the netdev instance lock before invoking any ndo or ethtool op of "ops-locked" drivers. [...]
