commit 284946d579a7c79c12aacb6d8e2734c50567f458 Author: Ying Xue ying.xue@windriver.com Date: Wed Jan 15 10:23:42 2014 +0800

batman-adv: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find interface

The following call chains indicate that batadv_is_on_batman_iface() is always under rtnl_lock protection as call_netdevice_notifier() is protected by rtnl_lock. So if __dev_get_by_index() rather than dev_get_by_index() is used to find interface handler in it, this would help us avoid to change interface reference counter.

call_netdevice_notifier() batadv_hard_if_event() batadv_hardif_add_interface() batadv_is_valid_iface() batadv_is_on_batman_iface()
