struct pernet_operations provides two batching hooks; ->exit_batch()
and ->exit_batch_rtnl().
The batching variant is beneficial if ->exit() meets any of the
following conditions:
1) ->exit() repeatedly acquires a global lock for each netns
2) ->exit() has a time-consuming operation that can be factored
out (e.g. synchronize_rcu(), smp_mb(), etc)
3) ->exit() does not need to repeat the same iterations for each
netns (e.g. inet_twsk_purge())
Currently, none of the ->exit_batch_rtnl() functions satisfy any of
the above conditions because RTNL is factored out and held by the
caller and all of these functions iterate over the dying netns list.
Also, we want to hold per-netns RTNL there but avoid spreading
__rtnl_net_lock() across multiple locations.
Let's add ->exit_rtnl() hook and run it under __rtnl_net_lock().
The following patches will convert all ->exit_batch_rtnl() users
to ->exit_rtnl().

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 reStructuredText 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.
