Some of these are wrong, for example:

Please look at the comment right about this function, it clearly
explains that if the named object is found, the function returns
with the mutex locked.

The rest of the networking cases look OK, please just resubmit
the correct networking cases to netdev@vger.kernel.org.

Thanks.
