From 4ae289444b968b4cefd776ada8da519ce10e56fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 12:54:15 -0700 Subject: [NEIGH]: Ensure that pneigh_lookup is protected with RTNL The pnigh_lookup is used to lookup proxy entries and to create them in case lookup failed. However, the "creation" code does not perform the re-lookup after GFP_KERNEL allocation. This is done because the code is expected to be protected with the RTNL lock, so add the assertion (mainly to address future questions from new network developers like me :) ).
