David S. Miller 6bd4755c7c Merge branch 'devlink-unregister'
Jakub Kicinski says:

====================
devlink: remove the wait-for-references on unregister

Move the registration and unregistration of the devlink instances
under their instance locks. Don't perform the netdev-style wait
for all references when unregistering the instance.

Instead the devlink instance refcount will only ensure that
the memory of the instance is not freed. All places which acquire
access to devlink instances via a reference must check that the
instance is still registered under the instance lock.

This fixes the problem of the netdev code accessing devlink
instances before they are registered.

RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221217011953.152487-1-kuba@kernel.org/
 - rewrite the cover letter
 - rewrite the commit message for patch 1
 - un-export and rename devl_is_alive
 - squash the netdevsim patches

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.
