Neigh entry has reference counter, however it is only used when scheduling neigh update event. In all other cases reference to neigh entry is not taken while working with it. Neigh code relies on synchronization provided by rtnl lock and uses encap list size as implicit reference counter. To remove dependency on rtnl lock, always take reference to neigh entry while using it. Remove neigh entry from hash table and delete it only when reference counter reaches zero. This can result spurious neigh update events, when there is an event on entry that has zero encaps attached. However, such events are rare and properly handled by neigh update handler. Extend encap entry with reference to neigh hash entry in order to be able to directly release it when encap is detached, instead of lookup nhe by key through hash table. Extend nhe with reference to device priv structure to guarantee correctness when nhe is used with stack devices, bond setup, in which case it is non-trivial to determine correct device when releasing the nhe.

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
