[PATCH v4 net-next 10/15] neighbour: Clean up neigh_table_init() and neigh_table_clear().

From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@google.com>
Date: 2026-08-13 08:02:59
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Currently, neigh_table_init() and neigh_table_clear() are called
once at the boot time, but we will call them for each netns.

Let's clean up them.

For neigh_table_init(),

  * Allocate all memory first and unwind on failure
  * Remove !tbl->entry_size check since it is always true
     for arp_tbl and nd_tbl
  * Initialise everything before starting delayed works

For neigh_table_clear(),

  * Reorder function to match neigh_table_init()
  * Use timer_shutdown_sync() instead of timer_delete_sync()
  * Remove pneigh_queue_purge() since it is called
     via neigh_ifdown()
  * Replace pr_crit() with DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE()
  * Call neigh_hash_free_rcu() directly without call_rcu()

In a later patch, neigh_table_clear() will be split so that
tbl->{stats,phash_buckets,nht} will be freed only when all
neighbour entries are freed.

v2: Add __maybe_unused to net in neigh_table_clear() to
    avoid transient W=1 warning for CONFIG_PROC_FS=n
    (next patch removes it anyway)
