====================
netpoll: make sure napi_list is safe for RCU traversal
This series is a follow-up to the fix in commit 96e97bc07e ("net:
disable netpoll on fresh napis"). To avoid any latent race conditions
convert dev->napi_list to a proper RCU list. We need minor restructuring
because it looks like netif_napi_del() used to be idempotent, and
it may be quite hard to track down everyone who depends on that.

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.
