[PATCH 4/8] netpoll: take rcu_read_lock_bh() in netpoll_rx()

From: Cong Wang <hidden>
Date: 2012-08-06 14:23:55
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

In __netpoll_rx(), it dereferences ->npinfo without rcu_dereference_bh(),
this patch fixes it by using the 'npinfo' passed from netpoll_rx()
where it is already dereferenced with rcu_dereference_bh().
