[PATCH 3.16 163/294] ipv6: fix sparse warning on rt6i_node

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Nov 06 2017 - 19:07:53 EST


3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wei Wang <weiwan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4e587ea71bf924f7dac621f1351653bd41e446cb upstream.

Commit c5cff8561d2d adds rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node. This
generates a new sparse warning on rt->rt6i_node related code:
net/ipv6/route.c:1394:30: error: incompatible types in comparison
expression (different address spaces)
./include/net/ip6_fib.h:187:14: error: incompatible types in comparison
expression (different address spaces)

This commit adds "__rcu" tag for rt6i_node and makes sure corresponding
rcu API is used for it.
After this fix, sparse no longer generates the above warning.

Fixes: c5cff8561d2d ("ipv6: add rcu grace period before freeing fib6_node")
