[PATCH 1/1] bond: relocate rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock

From: Zhu Yanjun <zyjzyj2000@gmail.com>

rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock are to protect the function
bond_miimon_inspect. As such, moving rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock
to the function bond_miimon_inspect to make the source code compact.

Not true, RCU also protects the slave dereference in bond_should_notify_peers().
Even though there's already a rcu_read_lock() while doing the dereference
itself, it is there only to please RCU, IIRC. The only "simplification" you
can do is remove the rcu_read_lock/unlock() around the slave deref in
bond_should_notify_peers and use rcu_dereference_rtnl() as it can be used either
in RCU protected region or with RTNL held. Also I think net-next is still
closed (and that's where this should be targeted at).

Cheers,
 Nik

Err, I meant to please lockdep when being called with RTNL.

can do is remove the rcu_read_lock/unlock() around the slave deref in
