From 29fa060eab3f524d338566d34c1d9e704579ae5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2010 00:29:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: relax rtnl_dereference() rtnl_dereference() is used in contexts where RTNL is held, to fetch an RCU protected pointer. Updates to this pointer are prevented by RTNL, so we dont need smp_read_barrier_depends() and the ACCESS_ONCE() provided in rcu_dereference_check(). rtnl_dereference() is mainly a macro to document the locking invariant.
