Breno Leitao 6a3c34e875 netpoll: hold rcu read lock in __netpoll_send_skb()
[ Upstream commit 505ead7ab77f289f12d8a68ac83da068e4d4408b ]

The function __netpoll_send_skb() is being invoked without holding the
RCU read lock. This oversight triggers a warning message when
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST is enabled:

	net/core/netpoll.c:330 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

	 netpoll_send_skb
	 netpoll_send_udp
	 write_ext_msg
	 console_flush_all
	 console_unlock
	 vprintk_emit

To prevent npinfo from disappearing unexpectedly, ensure that
__netpoll_send_skb() is protected with the RCU read lock.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
