From d9ac62be5740272f495154469cc9f77feb8d541a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ying Xue Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 10:23:39 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] dcb: use __dev_get_by_name instead of dev_get_by_name to find interface The following call chain indicates that dcb_doit() is protected under rtnl_lock. So if we use __dev_get_by_name() instead of dev_get_by_name() to find interface handlers in it, this would help us avoid to change interface reference counter. rtnetlink_rcv() rtnl_lock() netlink_rcv_skb() dcb_doit() rtnl_unlock() Cc: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: Ying Xue Signed-off-by: David S.
