Subject: [PATCH v4 net-next 05/15] neighbour: Remove __rcu from neigh_tables[].
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 08:02:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813080248.407680-6-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813080248.407680-1-kuniyu@google.com>
Since commit 1bf20cc62a54 ("neighbour: remove obsolete
EXPORT_SYMBOL()") unexported neigh_table_init(), neigh_table
cannot be registered dynamically.
Let's remove RCU protection for neigh_tables[].
Note that neightbl_set() no longer needs RCU because it holds
spin_lock_bh(&tbl->lock).
