Note: this patch should be sent to stable teams (2.6.34 and up) [PATCH net-2.6] llc: fix a device refcount imbalance commit abf9d537fe (llc: add support for SO_BINDTODEVICE) added one refcount imbalance in llc_ui_bind(), because dev_getbyhwaddr() doesnt take a reference on device, while dev_get_by_index() does. Fix this using RCU locking. And since an RCU conversion will be done for 2.6.38 for dev_getbyhwaddr(), put the rcu_read_lock/unlock exactly at their final place.
