The new CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST requires a condition statement in (h)list_for_each_entry_rcu when the code might be executed in a non RCU non-reader section with the writer lock. Otherwise lockdep might cause a false positive warning like ============================= WARNING: suspicious RCU usage ----------------------------- translation-table.c:940 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!! batman-adv is (mostly) following the examples from the RCU documentation and is using the normal list-traversal primitives instead of the RCU list-traversal primitives when the writer (spin)lock is held. The remaining users of RCU list-traversal primitives with writer spinlock have to be converted to the same style as the rest of the code.

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 Restructured Text 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.
