[PATCH 5.16 0437/1039] netfilter: egress: avoid a lockdep splat

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jan 24 2022 - 17:14:04 EST


From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 6316136ec6e3dd1c302f7e7289a9ee46ecc610ae ]

include/linux/netfilter_netdev.h:97 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
2 locks held by sd-resolve/1100:
0: ..(rcu_read_lock_bh){1:3}, at: ip_finish_output2
1: ..(rcu_read_lock_bh){1:3}, at: __dev_queue_xmit
__dev_queue_xmit+0 ..

The helper has two callers, one uses rcu_read_lock, the other
rcu_read_lock_bh(). Annotate the dereference to reflect this.

Fixes: 42df6e1d221dd ("netfilter: Introduce egress hook")
