Subject: net: fix rcu use in ip_route_output_slow
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=83180af0b0ea166adf8249f4513beb7355f9b4c9;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

net: fix rcu use in ip_route_output_slow

__in_dev_get_rtnl(dev_out) is called while RTNL is not held, thus
triggers a lockdep fault.

At this point, we only perform a raw test of dev_out->ip_ptr being NULL,
we dont need to make sure ip_ptr cant changed right after.

We can use rcu_dereference_raw() for this.
