arp_ioctl() holds rtnl_lock() first regardless of cmd (SIOCDARP, SIOCSARP, and SIOCGARP) to get net_device by __dev_get_by_name() and copy dev->name safely. In the SIOCGARP path, arp_req_get() calls neigh_lookup(), which looks up a neighbour entry under RCU. We will extend the RCU section not to take rtnl_lock() and instead use dev_get_by_name_rcu() for SIOCGARP. As a preparation, let's move __dev_get_by_name() into another function and call it from arp_req_delete(), arp_req_set(), and arp_req_get().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
