====================
Introduce net_rwsem to protect net_namespace_list
The series introduces fine grained rw_semaphore, which will be used
instead of rtnl_lock() to protect net_namespace_list.
This improves scalability and allows to do non-exclusive sleepable
iteration for_each_net(), which is enough for most cases.
scripts/get_maintainer.pl gives enormous list of people, and I add
all to CC.
Note, that this patch is independent of "Close race between
{un, }register_netdevice_notifier and pernet_operations":

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
