[PATCH net-next 00/10] use appropriate APIs to get interfaces

[Ying Xue]

Under rtnl_lock protection, we should use __dev_get_name/index()
rather than dev_get_name()/index() to find interface handlers
because the former interfaces can help us avoid to change interface
reference counter.

Ying Xue (10):
  Drivers: Staging: cxt1e1: use __dev_get_name instead of dev_get_name
    to find interfaces
  bonding: use __dev_get_by_name instead of dev_get_by_name to find
    interface
  eql: use __dev_get_by_name instead of dev_get_by_name to find
    interface
  dcb: use __dev_get_by_name instead of dev_get_by_name to find
    interface
  decnet: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find
    interface
  vxlan: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find
    interface
  batman-adv: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to
    find interface
  caif: __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find
    interface
  can: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find
    interface
  net: nl80211: __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find
    interface
