net: fix dev_seq_next()
Commit c6d14c84 (net: Introduce for_each_netdev_rcu() iterator) added a race in dev_seq_next(). The rcu_dereference() call should be done _before_ testing the end of list, or we might return a wrong net_device if a concurrent thread changes net_device list under us. Note : discovered thanks to a sparse warning : net/core/dev.c:3919:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> CC: Paul E.
