[PATCH 3.13 017/212] net: Find the nesting level of a given device by type.

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Jun 17 2014 - 18:52:57 EST


3.13.11.4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 4085ebe8c31face855fd01ee40372cb4aab1df3a ]

Multiple devices in the kernel can be stacked/nested and they
need to know their nesting level for the purposes of lockdep.
This patch provides a generic function that determines a nesting
level of a particular device by its type (ex: vlan, macvlan, etc).
We only care about nesting of the same type of devices.

For example:
eth0 <- vlan0.10 <- macvlan0 <- vlan1.20

The nesting level of vlan1.20 would be 1, since there is another vlan
in the stack under it.
