The next patch will free pneigh_entry with call_rcu(). Then, we need to annotate neigh_table.phash_buckets[] and pneigh_entry.next with __rcu. To make the next patch cleaner, let's annotate the fields in advance. Currently, all accesses to the fields are under the neigh table lock, so rcu_dereference_protected() is used with 1 for now, but most of them (except in pneigh_delete() and pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock()) will be replaced with rcu_dereference() and rcu_dereference_check(). Note that pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock() changes pneigh_entry.next to a local list, which is illegal because the RCU iterator could be moved to another list. This part will be fixed in the next patch.

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.
