pneigh_lookup() has ASSERT_RTNL() in the middle of the function, which is confusing. When called with the last argument, creat, 0, pneigh_lookup() literally looks up a proxy neighbour entry. This is the case of the reader path as the fast path and RTM_GETNEIGH. pneigh_lookup(), however, creates a pneigh_entry when called with creat 1 from RTM_NEWNEIGH and SIOCSARP, which require RTNL. Let's split pneigh_lookup() into two functions. We will convert all the reader paths to RCU, and read_lock_bh(&tbl->lock) in the new pneigh_lookup() will be dropped.

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.
