Subject: [PATCH net-next RESEND 1/2] tipc: fix RCU sparse error
Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2014 16:46:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1418201167-9591-2-git-send-email-ying.xue@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1418201167-9591-1-git-send-email-ying.xue@windriver.com>

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().
