__pneigh_lookup() is the lockless version of pneigh_lookup(), but its only caller pndisc_is_router() holds the table lock and reads pneigh_netry.flags. This is because accessing pneigh_entry after pneigh_lookup() was illegal unless the caller holds RTNL or the table lock. Now, pneigh_entry is guaranteed to be alive during the RCU critical section. Let's call pneigh_lookup() and use READ_ONCE() for n->flags in pndisc_is_router() and remove __pneigh_lookup().

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.
