====================
inet: implement lockless RTM_GETNETCONF ops
This series removes RTNL use for RTM_GETNETCONF operations on AF_INET.
- Annotate data-races to avoid possible KCSAN splats.
- "ip -4 netconf show dev XXX" can be implemented without RTNL [1]
- "ip -4 netconf" dumps can be implemented using RCU instead of RTNL [1]
[1] This only refers to RTM_GETNETCONF operation, "ip" command
also uses RTM_GETLINK dumps which are using RTNL at this moment.

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.
