Can we write this with less spaghetti please, maybe:

static int dst_fetch_ha(const struct dst_entry *dst,
			struct rdma_dev_addr *dev_addr,
			const void *daddr)
{
	struct neighbour *n;
	int ret = 0;

	n = dst_neigh_lookup(dst, daddr);
	if (!n)
		return -ENODATA;

	read_lock_bh(&n->lock);
	if (!(n->nud_state & NUD_VALID)) {
		read_unlock_bh(&n->lock);
		goto out_send;
	}
	memcpy(dev_addr->dst_dev_addr, n->ha, MAX_ADDR_LEN);
	read_unlock_bh(&n->lock);

	goto out_release;

out_send:
	neigh_event_send(n, NULL);
	ret = -ENODATA;
out_release:
	neigh_release(n);

	return ret;
}

Also, Parav should look at it.

Thanks,
