There are some use cases for netdev_notify_peers in the context when rtnl lock is already held. Introduce lockless version of netdev_notify_peers call to save the extra code to call call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS, dev); call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_RESEND_IGMP, dev); After that, convert netdev_notify_peers to call the new helper.

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.
