[MPTCP] [PATCH v4 0/9] add locking to PM APis, implement PM netlink

[Paolo Abeni]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2087 bytes --]

This implement the locking required by the PM to allow concurent subflow
accessing the msk PM data in a safe way. Such data is protected via a msk-level
spinlock. It relies on the Double checked locking to avoid contention in the
most common scenarion (no or very little PM "actions").

Additionally changes more than a bit the PM hooks/APIs, to be hopefully simpler
and avoiding duplicate code (no v4/v6 variant, work queue management done by the
core PM infra).

It also introduce the PM netlink - it replace the current basic ones, the
related patch has been dropped locally.
