Holding the rtnl_lock while iterating a devices interface address list
potentially causes deadlocks with the cma_netdev_callback. While this was
implemented to limit the scope of a wildcard listen to addresses of the
current device only, a better solution limits the scope of the socket to
the device. This completely avoiding locking, and also results in
significant code simplification.

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.
