The commit cited below switched from using napi_synchronize to
synchronize_rcu to have a guarantee that it will finish in finite time.
However, on average, synchronize_rcu takes more time than
napi_synchronize. Given that it's called multiple times per channel on
deactivation, it accumulates to a significant amount, which causes
timeouts in some applications (for example, when using bonding with
NetworkManager).
This commit replaces synchronize_rcu with synchronize_net, which is
faster when called under rtnl_lock, allowing to speed up the described
flow.

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.
