Subject: [BRIDGE]: Properly dereference the br_should_route_hook
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=82de382ce8e1c7645984616728dc7aaa057821e4;p=linux-beck.git

[BRIDGE]: Properly dereference the br_should_route_hook

This hook is protected with the RCU, so simple

	if (br_should_route_hook)
		br_should_route_hook(...)

is not enough on some architectures.

Use the rcu_dereference/rcu_assign_pointer in this case.

Fixed Stephen's comment concerning using the typeof().
