As a preparation for removing dependency on rtnl lock from rules update path, all users of shared objects must take reference while working with them. Extend action ops with put_dev() API to be used on net device returned by get_dev(). Modify mirred action (only action that implements get_dev callback): - Take reference to net device in get_dev. - Implement put_dev API that releases reference to net device.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
