Miller <davem@davemloft.net> > Signed-off-by: Cong Wang <amwang@redhat.com> This is a very confusing patch submission. You're posting a "v2" of a patch but with a completely different Subject line so that it's hard, without looking into the details of the patch, to determine what this patch is a "v2" of. You've also not addressed Stephen's feedback about the lack of an rcu_dereference() in these routines you've added __rcu annotations to. I'm tossing all versions of this patch, therefore. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

The reason is we don't dereference ->npinfo pointer, we just check if it is NULL, so doesn't need to call rcu_dereference(). Or am I missing anything?
