Re: [PATCH net-next 2/3] flow_offload: Support get tcf block immediately

[wenxu <wenxu@ucloud.cn>]

@tc_indr_block_dev_get funcion,

static struct tc_indr_block_dev *tc_indr_block_dev_get(struct net_device *dev)
{
    struct tc_indr_block_dev *indr_dev;

    indr_dev = tc_indr_block_dev_lookup(dev);
    if (indr_dev)
        goto inc_ref;

    indr_dev = kzalloc(sizeof(*indr_dev), GFP_KERNEL);
    if (!indr_dev)
        return NULL;

    INIT_LIST_HEAD(&indr_dev->cb_list);
    indr_dev->dev = dev;
    indr_dev->block = tc_dev_ingress_block(dev);

when the indr device register. It will call __tc_indr_block_cb_register-->tc_indr_block_dev_get,

It can get the indr_dev->block immediately through tc_dev_ingress_block,

But when the indr_block_dev_get put in the common flow_offload.  It can not direct access 

tc_dev_ingress_block.
