To return an endpoint to the userspace via Netlink, and to dump all of them, the endpoint list was iterated while holding the pernet->lock, but only to read the content of the list. In these cases, the spin locks can be replaced by RCU read ones, and use the _rcu variants to iterate over the entries list in a lockless way. Note that the __lookup_addr_by_id() helper has been modified to use the _rcu variants of list_for_each_entry(), but with an extra conditions, so it can be called either while the RCU read lock is held, or when the associated pernet->lock is held.

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.
