Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 04/13] neighbour: Remove __rcu from neigh_tables[].
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 23:28:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260807232932.3986667-5-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260807232932.3986667-1-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).
