vxlan: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find interface
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() Cc: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Signed-off-by: Ying Xue <ying.xue@windriver.com> Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
