[PATCH] ipv6: Annotate change of locking mechanism for np->opt

2016-02-17 Thread Benjamin Poirier
follows up commit 45f6fad84cc3 ("ipv6: add complete rcu protection around np->opt") which added mixed rcu/refcount protection to np->opt. Given the current implementation of rcu_pointer_handoff(), this has no effect at runtime. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Poirier --- include/net/ipv6.h | 8 ++--
