Merge branch 'bridge-ioctl-fixes'
Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== net: bridge: fix recent ioctl changes These are three fixes for the recent bridge removal of ndo_do_ioctl done by commit ad2f99ae ("net: bridge: move bridge ioctls out of .ndo_do_ioctl"). Patch 01 fixes a deadlock of the new bridge ioctl hook lock and rtnl by taking a netdev reference and always taking the bridge ioctl lock first then rtnl from within the bridge hook. Patch 02 fixes old_deviceless() bridge calls device name argument, and patch 03 checks in dev_ifsioc()'s SIOCBRADD/DELIF cases if the netdevice is actually a bridge before interpreting its private ptr as net_bridge. Patch 01 was tested by running old bridge-utils commands with lockdep enabled. Patch 02 was tested again by using bridge-utils and using the respective ioctl calls on a "up" bridge device. Patch 03 was tested by using the addif ioctl on a non-bridge device (e.g. loopback). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
