Subject: [PATCH 00/14] Modify action API for implementing lockless actions
Date:   Mon, 14 May 2018 17:27:01 +0300

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. It updates act API to
use atomic operations, rcu and spinlocks for fine-grained locking. It
also extend API with functions that are needed to update existing
actions for parallel execution.

Outline of changes:
- Change tc action to use atomic reference and bind counters, rcu
  mechanism for cookie update.
- Extend action ops API with 'delete' function and 'unlocked' flag.
- Change action API to work with actions in lockless manner based on
  primitives implemented in previous patches.
- Extend action API with new functions necessary to implement unlocked
  actions.

Vlad Buslov (14):
  net: sched: use rcu for action cookie update
  net: sched: change type of reference and bind counters
  net: sched: add 'delete' function to action ops
  net: sched: implement unlocked action init API
  net: sched: always take reference to action
  net: sched: implement reference counted action release
  net: sched: use reference counting action init
  net: sched: account for temporary action reference
  net: sched: don't release reference on action overwrite
  net: sched: extend act API for lockless actions
  net: core: add new/replace rate estimator lock parameter
  net: sched: retry action check-insert on concurrent modification
  net: sched: use unique idr insert function in unlocked actions
  net: sched: implement delete for all actions
