From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2010 01:37:42 +0000 (+0000) Subject: __in_dev_get_rtnl() can use rtnl_dereference() X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=06a9701f4b3e3381dea96fee1cc8a3bb41b0a1f1;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git __in_dev_get_rtnl() can use rtnl_dereference() If caller holds RTNL, we dont need a memory barrier (smp_read_barrier_depends) included in rcu_dereference(). Just use rtnl_dereference() to properly document the assertions. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
