[lustre-devel] [PATCH 32/33] lnet: ksocklnd: ksocklnd_ni_get_eth_intf_speed() must use only rtnl lock

[James Simmons <jsimmons@infradead.org>]

A kernel with debug enable is reporting the following:

include/linux/inetdevice.h:221 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
5 locks held by lctl/42289:

The function __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() has a hard requirement
to have the in_dev device protected by the rtnl mutex. At the
same time we are aquiring in_dev using the rcu lock. The in_dev
needs to be stabilized by the same lock. So use rtnl functions
instead.
