====================
nexthop: Convert RTM_{NEW,DEL}NEXTHOP to per-netns RTNL.
Patch 1 - 5 move some validation for RTM_NEWNEXTHOP so that it can be
called without RTNL.
Patch 6 & 7 converts RTM_NEWNEXTHOP and RTM_DELNEXTHOP to per-netns RTNL.
Note that RTM_GETNEXTHOP and RTM_GETNEXTHOPBUCKET are not touched in
this series.
rtm_get_nexthop() can be easily converted to RCU, but rtm_dump_nexthop()
needs more work due to the left-to-right rbtree walk, which looks prone
to node deletion and tree rotation without a retry mechanism.

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.
