Subject: net: introduce a function to check if a netdev name is in use
X-Git-Tag: v6.1-rc5~2768^2~248^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=75ea27d0d62281c31ee259c872dfdeb072cf5e39;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-starfive.git

net: introduce a function to check if a netdev name is in use

__dev_get_by_name is currently used to either retrieve a net device
reference using its name or to check if a name is already used by a
registered net device (per ns). In the later case there is no need to
return a reference to a net device.

Introduce a new helper, netdev_name_in_use, to check if a name is
currently used by a registered net device without leaking a reference
the corresponding net device. This helper uses netdev_name_node_lookup
instead of __dev_get_by_name as we don't need the extra logic retrieving
a reference to the corresponding net device.
