[PATCH V2 linux-next] net: fix rcu access on phonet_routes

From: Fabian Frederick
Date: Mon Oct 06 2014 - 14:16:10 EST


-Add __rcu annotation on table to fix sparse warnings:
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:279:25: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:279:25: expected struct net_device *<noident>
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:279:25: got void [noderef] <asn:4>*<noident>
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:376:17: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:376:17: expected struct net_device *volatile <noident>
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:376:17: got struct net_device [noderef] <asn:4>*<noident>
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:392:17: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:392:17: expected struct net_device *<noident>
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:392:17: got void [noderef] <asn:4>*<noident>

-Access table with rcu_access_pointer (fixes the following sparse errors):
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:278:25: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)
net/phonet/pn_dev.c:391:17: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)

V2: use rcu_access_pointer instead of rcu_dereference out of rcu_read_lock context
(suggested by Eric Dumazet).
