Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/10] dcb: use __dev_get_by_name instead of dev_get_by_name to find interface
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 15:41:03 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389685269-18600-5-git-send-email-ying.xue@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1389685269-18600-1-git-send-email-ying.xue@windriver.com>

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()
