[PATCH] net: caif: Add lockdep expression to RCU traversal primitive

From: Amol Grover <hidden>
Date: 2020-03-12 05:35:21
Also in: linux-kernel-mentees, lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

caifdevs->list is traversed using list_for_each_entry_rcu()
outside an RCU read-side critical section but under the
protection of rtnl_mutex. Hence, add the corresponding lockdep
expression to silence the following false-positive warning:

[   10.868467] =============================
[   10.869082] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

[   10.871557] net/caif/caif_dev.c:115 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
