Merge branch 'arp-random-clean-up-and-rcu-conversion-for-ioctl-siocgarp'
Kuniyuki Iwashima says: ==================== arp: Random clean up and RCU conversion for ioctl(SIOCGARP). arp_ioctl() holds rtnl_lock() regardless of cmd (SIOCDARP, SIOCSARP, and SIOCGARP) to get net_device by __dev_get_by_name() and copy dev->name safely. In the SIOCGARP path, arp_req_get() calls neigh_lookup(), which looks up a neighbour entry under RCU. This series cleans up ioctl() code a bit and extends the RCU section not to take rtnl_lock() and instead use dev_get_by_name_rcu() and netdev_copy_name() for SIOCGARP. v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240425170002.68160-1-kuniyu@amazon.com/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240422194755.4221-1-kuniyu@amazon.com/ ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240430015813.71143-1-kuniyu@amazon.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
