I am sorry for the delay.

Thank you for your time and suggestions! I agree with you and I will improve
this patch.

I will use refcount_t to manage the 'neighbour->use'.

I understand. If the 'rose->neighbour' is different from 'neigh' for the first socket
in the rose_list, the code will goto again and re-search the list. This will cause
infinite loop. I will improve this.
