ipv6: get rid of ipip6_prl_lock
As noticed by Julia Lawall, ipip6_tunnel_add_prl() incorrectly calls kzallloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) while a spinlock is held. She provided a patch to use GFP_ATOMIC instead. One possibility would be to convert this spinlock to a mutex, or preallocate the thing before taking the lock. After RCU conversion, it appears we dont need this lock, since caller already holds RTNL Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
