list_for_each_entry_rcu() has built-in RCU and lock checking.

Pass cond argument to list_for_each_entry_rcu() to silence
false lockdep warning when CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST is enabled
by default.

Thanks.

However, there is a callpath where not devlink lock neither rcu read is
taken:
devlink_dpipe_table_register()->devlink_dpipe_table_find()

Hi,

Yes I had noticed this, but I was not sure if there is some other lock
which is being used.

If yes, then can you please tell me which lock is held in this case,
and I can add that condition as well to list_for_each_entry_rcu() usage.

And if no lock or rcu_read_lock is held then may be we should
use rcu_read_lock/unlock here.

Let me know what you think about this.

devlink->lock should be held since the beginning of
devlink_dpipe_table_register()

Alright, I will send a patch with this change soon.
Thank you for the help.
