[PATCH 08/10] ipv6: use RCU to walk list of network devices

[Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: ipv6-rdlock.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4200 bytes --]

No longer need read_lock(&dev_base_lock), use RCU instead.
This also needs to be optimized for large number of devices.
