[ Upstream commit 173756b86803655d70af7732079b3aa935e6ab68 ]
hsr_get_node_{list/status}() are not under rtnl_lock() because
they are callback functions of generic netlink.
But they use __dev_get_by_index() without rtnl_lock().
So, it would use unsafe data.
In order to fix it, rcu_read_lock() and dev_get_by_index_rcu()
are used instead of __dev_get_by_index().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
