DSA needs to simulate master tracking events when a binding is first with a DSA master established and torn down, in order to give drivers the simplifying guarantee that ->master_state_change calls are made only when the master's readiness state to pass traffic changes. master_state_change() provide a operational bool that DSA driver can use to understand if DSA master is operational or not. To avoid races, we need to block the reception of NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_CHANGE/NETDEV_GOING_DOWN events in the netdev notifier chain while we are changing the master's dev->dsa_ptr (this changes what netdev_uses_dsa(dev) reports). The dsa_master_setup() and dsa_master_teardown() functions optionally require the rtnl_mutex to be held, if the tagger needs the master to be promiscuous, these functions call dev_set_promiscuity(). Move the rtnl_lock() from that function and make it top-level. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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 Restructured Text 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.
