Subject: ipv6: get rid of ipip6_prl_lock
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aac4dddc358acfd9d98b20024a42c34dfab31c39;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

ipv6: get rid of ipip6_prl_lock

As noticed by Julia Lawall, ipip6_tunnel_add_prl() incorrectly calls
kzallloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) while a spinlock is held. She provided
a patch to use GFP_ATOMIC instead.

One possibility would be to convert this spinlock to a mutex, or
preallocate the thing before taking the lock.

After RCU conversion, it appears we dont need this lock, since
caller already holds RTNL
