neigh_valid_get_req() calls neigh_find_table() to fetch neigh_tables[]. neigh_find_table() uses rcu_dereference_rtnl(), but RTNL actually does not protect it at all; neigh_table_clear() can be called without RTNL and only waits for RCU readers by synchronize_rcu(). Fortunately, there is no bug because IPv4 is built-in, IPv6 cannot be unloaded, and DECNET was removed. To fetch neigh_tables[] by rcu_dereference() later, let's move neigh_find_table() from neigh_valid_get_req() to neigh_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.
