This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ipv4: Silence suspicious RCU usage warning to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ipv4-silence-suspicious-rcu-usage-warning.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Mon 10 Aug 2020 02:07:44 PM CEST From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2020 11:37:13 +0300 Subject: ipv4: Silence suspicious RCU usage warning From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 83f3522860f702748143e022f1a546547314c715 ] fib_trie_unmerge() is called with RTNL held, but not from an RCU read-side critical section. This leads to the following warning [1] when the FIB alias list in a leaf is traversed with hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(). Since the function is always called with RTNL held and since modification of the list is protected by RTNL, simply use hlist_for_each_entry() and silence the warning.
