[PATCH net 0/2] VXLAN/geneve RCU fixes

[Jakub Kicinski]

Hi!

VXLAN and GENEVE need to take RCU lock explicitly because TX path
only has the _bh() flavour of RCU locked.  Making the reconfiguration
path wait for both normal and _bh() RCU would be bigger hassle so
just acquire the lock, as suggested by Pravin:

  vxlan: lock RCU on TX path
  geneve: lock RCU on TX path
