Subject: net/smc: fix direct access to ib_gid_addr->ndev in smc_ib_determine_gid()
From: Karsten Graul <kgraul@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 41a0be3f8f6be893860b991eb10c47fc3ee09d7f ]
Sparse complaints 3 times about:
net/smc/smc_ib.c:203:52: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
net/smc/smc_ib.c:203:52: expected struct net_device const *dev
net/smc/smc_ib.c:203:52: got struct net_device [noderef] __rcu *const ndev
Fix that by using the existing and validated ndev variable instead of
accessing attr->ndev directly.
Fixes: 5102eca9039b ("net/smc: Use rdma_read_gid_l2_fields to L2 fields")
