Subject: ipv6: Don't dev_hold(dev) in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu.
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~3680^2~3362^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c577923756b7fe9071f28a76b66b83b306d1d001;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git

ipv6: Don't dev_hold(dev) in ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu.

ip6_mc_find_dev_rcu() is called with rcu_read_lock(), so don't
need to dev_hold().
With dev_hold(), not corresponding dev_put(), will lead to leak.

[ bug introduced in 96b52e61be1 (ipv6: mcast: RCU conversions) ]
