Device drivers which support geneve or vxlan offloading have a dependency
on the correlating tunnel kernel modules. Thus those drivers automatically
load the geneve or vxlan modules. Break this dependency with this
small series.
Additionally this series features a review of the respective ->ndo_open
and other functions around vxlan_get_rx_port and geneve_get_rx_port.
* Result:
$ cd drivers/net/ethernet/
$ find . -name '*.ko' | xargs modinfo | egrep '^depends:.*(vxlan|geneve)' |
wc -l
0
I also incorporated feedback from Jesse Gross to only use one new
netdevice notifiers type, namely NETDEV_REFRESH_OFFLOADS. Otherwise this
series is very much the same as v1.
Hannes Frederic Sowa (8):
qlcnic: protect qlcnic_82xx_io_slot_reset with rtnl lock
mlx4: add rtnl lock protection in mlx4_en_restart
ixgbe: add rtnl locking in service task around vxlan_get_rx_port
benet: add rtnl lock protection around be_open in be_resume
fm10k: add rtnl lock protection in fm10k_io_resume
netdev: add netdevice notifier type to trigger a reprogramming of
offloads
vxlan: break dependency to network drivers
geneve: break dependency to network drivers
