Subject: [patch] vlan: add rtnl_dereference() annotations
Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:29:43 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111214062943.GD7499@elgon.mountain> (raw)
The original code generates a Sparse warning:
net/8021q/vlan_core.c:336:9:
error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)
It's ok to dereference __rcu pointers here because we are holding the
RTNL lock. I've added some calls to rtnl_dereference() to silence the
warning.

I haven't tested this, and I'm not super familiar with this code.
Please review it carefully.
