Subject: vxlan: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find interface
X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~3572^2~179^2~4
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=737639493032afec87fc9e8809f80878f74bd465;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git

vxlan: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find interface

The following call chains indicate that vxlan_fdb_parse() is
under rtnl_lock protection. So if we use __dev_get_by_index()
instead of dev_get_by_index() to find interface handler in it,
this would help us avoid to change interface reference counter.

rtnetlink_rcv()
  rtnl_lock()
  netlink_rcv_skb()
    rtnl_fdb_add()
      vxlan_fdb_add()
        vxlan_fdb_parse()
  rtnl_unlock()

rtnetlink_rcv()
  rtnl_lock()
  netlink_rcv_skb()
    rtnl_fdb_del()
      vxlan_fdb_del()
        vxlan_fdb_parse()
  rtnl_unlock()
