From 728cbc6ac1eef89660875c70a602c1a0ba8df4ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Sun, 15 May 2011 00:50:21 +0200 Subject: batman-adv: Use rcu_dereference_protected by update-side Usually rcu_dereference isn't necessary in situations were the RCU-protected data structure cannot change, but sparse and lockdep still need a similar functionality for analysis. rcu_dereference_protected implements the reduced version which should be used to support the dynamic and static analysis.
