Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/10] vxlan: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find interface
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 15:41:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389685269-18600-7-git-send-email-ying.xue@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1389685269-18600-1-git-send-email-ying.xue@windriver.com>

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()
