The commit 97ede29e80ee ("tipc: convert name table read-write lock to
RCU") involves the following sparse when using
make ARCH=x86_64 allmodconfig
make C=1 CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__
net/tipc/name_table.c:1136:17: sparse: incompatible types in comparison
expression (different address spaces)
net/tipc/name_table.c:1136:17: sparse: incompatible types in comparison
expression (different address spaces)
To silence above spare complaint, an RCU annotation should be added
to "next" pointer of hlist_node structure through hlist_next_rcu()
macro when iterating over a hlist with hlist_for_each_entry_from_rcu().
By the way, this commit also simplifies the way of dereferencing
the first element of a hlist_head list by replacing
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() with hlist_entry_safe().
