Back in 2009 we started an effort to get rid of dev_base_lock
in favor of RCU.

It is time to finish this work.

Say goodbye to dev_base_lock !

Eric Dumazet (13):
  net: annotate data-races around dev->name_assign_type
  ip_tunnel: annotate data-races around t->parms.link
  dev: annotate accesses to dev->link
  net: convert dev->reg_state to u8
  net-sysfs: convert netdev_show() to RCU
  net-sysfs: use dev_addr_sem to remove races in address_show()
  net-sysfs: convert dev->operstate reads to lockless ones
  net-sysfs: convert netstat_show() to RCU
  net: remove stale mentions of dev_base_lock in comments
  net: add netdev_set_operstate() helper
  net: remove dev_base_lock from do_setlink()
  net: remove dev_base_lock from register_netdevice() and friends.
