This improves scalability and allows to do non-exclusive sleepable iteration for_each_net(), which is enough for most cases. scripts/get_maintainer.pl gives enormous list of people, and I add all to CC. Note, that this patch is independent of "Close race between {un, }register_netdevice_notifier and pernet_operations": https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/?series=36495 Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
