From a6e0fc8514d41dfdd98b1d15cacc432cf040f8af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2010 14:15:32 -0700 Subject: net: introduce rcu_dereference_rtnl We use rcu_dereference_check(p, rcu_read_lock_held() || lockdep_rtnl_is_held()) several times in network stack. More usages to come too, so its time to create a helper. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
