Is this tested with lockdep? I see the function is called with other
locks held (p->ale_list_lock). Isn't there a lock inversion anywhere?
Locks always need to be taken in the same order, and rtnl_lock is a
pretty high level lock, not exactly the kind you could take just like
that.


I am very sure that there is no lock inversions or double locks taken.
It is only in the clean-up from time-out of driver locked entries that
the nl lock needs to be taken (as the code reveals). In all other
instances, the nl lock is already taken as far as this implementation goes.
