6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3ba359c0cd6eb5ea772125a7aededb4a2d516684 ] RCU use in bond_should_notify_peers() looks wrong, since it does rcu_dereference(), leaves the critical section, and uses the pointer after that. Luckily, it's called either inside a nested RCU critical section or with the RTNL held. Annotate it with rcu_dereference_rtnl() instead, and remove the inner RCU critical section.
