Subject: net: Introduce dev_get_by_index_rcu()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fb699dfd426a189fe33b91586c15176a75c8aed0;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

net: Introduce dev_get_by_index_rcu()

Some workloads hit dev_base_lock rwlock pretty hard.
We can use RCU lookups to avoid touching this rwlock.

netdevices are already freed after a RCU grace period, so this patch
adds no penalty at device dismantle time.

dev_ifname() converted to dev_get_by_index_rcu()
