2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Patrick McHardy netfilter: bridge: refcount fix Upstream commit f3abc9b9: commit f216f082b2b37c4943f1e7c393e2786648d48f6f ([NETFILTER]: bridge netfilter: deal with martians correctly) added a refcount leak on in_dev. Instead of using in_dev_get(), we can use __in_dev_get_rcu(), as netfilter hooks are running under rcu_read_lock(), as pointed by Patrick.
