Subject: ifb: should not use __dev_get_by_index() without locks
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=db519144243de6b17ff0c56c26f06059743110a7;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

ifb: should not use __dev_get_by_index() without locks

At this point (ri_tasklet()), RTNL or dev_base_lock are not held,
we must use dev_get_by_index() instead of __dev_get_by_index()
