The commit 97ede29e80ee ("tipc: convert name table read-write lock to RCU") involves the following sparse when using make ARCH=x86_64 allmodconfig make C=1 CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ net/tipc/name_table.c:1136:17: sparse: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces) net/tipc/name_table.c:1136:17: sparse: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces) To silence above spare complaint, an RCU annotation should be added to "next" pointer of hlist_node structure through hlist_next_rcu() macro when iterating over a hlist with hlist_for_each_entry_from_rcu(). By the way, this commit also simplifies the way of dereferencing the first element of a hlist_head list by replacing hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() with hlist_entry_safe().
