list_for_each_entry_rcu has built-in RCU and lock checking.
Pass cond argument to list_for_each_entry_rcu.

Okay, this looks reasonable

Mike, Dennis, is this the right lock to test?


I'm looking at that right now actually, I don't think this is correct.
Wanted to talk to Mike before I send a response though.

That's definitely going to throw a ton of lock dep messages. It's not really
the right lock either. Instead what we probably need to do is what we do in
the non-multicast part of the code and take the rcu_read_lock().

Uh.. why is this using the _rcu varient without holding the rcu lock?
That is quite wrong already.


Yep, seems like a bug to me. Patch forthcoming.
