[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 123/138] ipv6: fix a lockdep splat

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Wed Mar 09 2016 - 18:27:06 EST


3.13.11-ckt36 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 44c3d0c1c0a880354e9de5d94175742e2c7c9683 upstream.

Silence lockdep false positive about rcu_dereference() being
used in the wrong context.

First one should use rcu_dereference_protected() as we own the spinlock.

Second one should be a normal assignation, as no barrier is needed.

Fixes: 18367681a10bd ("ipv6 flowlabel: Convert np->ipv6_fl_list to RCU.")
