Dima Chumak 408614108a net/mlx5e: Fix nullptr in mlx5e_hairpin_get_mdev() ... [ Upstream commit b1c2f6312c5005c928a72e668bf305a589d828d4 ] The result of __dev_get_by_index() is not checked for NULL and then gets dereferenced immediately. Also, __dev_get_by_index() must be called while holding either RTNL lock or @dev_base_lock, which isn't satisfied by mlx5e_hairpin_get_mdev() or its callers. This makes the underlying hlist_for_each_entry() loop not safe, and can have adverse effects in itself. Fix by using dev_get_by_index() and handling nullptr return value when ifindex device is not found. Update mlx5e_hairpin_get_mdev() callers to check for possible PTR_ERR() result.
