What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv4: ip_tunnel: Fix suspicious RCU usage warning in ip_tunnel_find()

The per-netns IP tunnel hash table is protected by the RTNL mutex and

ip_tunnel_find() is only called from the control path where the mutex is

taken.

Add a lockdep expression to hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() in

ip_tunnel_find() in order to validate that the mutex is held and to

silence the suspicious RCU usage warning [1].
