[PATCH 1/3] batman-adv: Modify neigh_list only with rcu-list functions

From: Simon Wunderlich <hidden>
Date: 2016-10-26 15:55:13
Also in: batman
Subsystem: batman advanced, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Lindner, Simon Wunderlich, Antonio Quartulli, Sven Eckelmann, Linus Torvalds

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven.eckelmann-2BnEqQcu77q1Z/+hSey0Gg@public.gmane.org>

The batadv_hard_iface::neigh_list is accessed via rcu based primitives.
Thus all operations done on it have to fulfill the requirements by RCU. So
using non-RCU mechanisms like hlist_add_head is not allowed because it
misses the barriers required to protect concurrent readers when accessing
the data behind the pointer.

Fixes: cef63419f7db ("batman-adv: add list of unique single hop neighbors per hard-interface")
