[ Upstream commit fd4f101edbd9f99567ab2adb1f2169579ede7c13 ] Many (struct pernet_operations)->exit_batch() methods have to acquire rtnl. In presence of rtnl mutex pressure, this makes cleanup_net() very slow. This patch adds a new exit_batch_rtnl() method to reduce number of rtnl acquisitions from cleanup_net(). exit_batch_rtnl() handlers are called while rtnl is locked, and devices to be killed can be queued in a list provided as their second argument. A single unregister_netdevice_many() is called right before rtnl is released. exit_batch_rtnl() handlers are called before ->exit() and ->exit_batch() handlers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
