Re: [PATCH net-next] net: run netdev work under the ops-compat lock

Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net-next.git (main)
by Paolo Abeni [off-list ref]:

netdev_work_proc() took rtnl_lock() for the whole batch, forcing
even ops-locked drivers onto rtnl just to run their rx_mode / ndo_work
callbacks. Take the per-device ops-compat lock instead: the instance
lock for ops-locked drivers, rtnl_lock for the rest. That's what the
callbacks already assert (e.g. netif_rx_mode_run() asserts
netdev_assert_locked_ops_compat()), and non-ops-locked work
such as vlan ndo_work keeps rtnl, since its compat lock resolves
to rtnl anyway.
