Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 3/9] ipv4: Add wrappers for neigh_lookup() and neigh_create().
Date: Sat,  3 Oct 2026 21:23:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261003212336.1304988-4-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261003212336.1304988-1-kuniyu@google.com>

neigh_lookup() accepts struct neigh_table *tbl and struct
net_device *dev, and both of them must exist in the same
netns.

It is error-prone to require callers to fetch a netns and
get neigh_table, which might belong to a different netns
than dev_net(dev).

Let's add IPv4-specific wrappers for neigh_lookup() and
neigh_create() that always fetch netns from dev.

Note that we do not add wrappers for __neigh_lookup() and
__neigh_lookup_errno(), which we will remove later.

__neigh_lookup_errno() is a simple combo of neigh_lookup()
and neigh_create().  __neigh_lookup() is almost the same
but converts errno from neigh_create() to NULL.

So both names are confusing.

For IPv4, __neigh_lookup_errno() is only used in arp_req_set()
and is not worth a new wrapper.  Instead, it should be inlined.

arp_process() uses __neigh_lookup(create=0) but it should
simply be neigh_lookup(), and then __neigh_lookup(create=1)
is only used in arp_process(), so this should be inlined too.
