Previously we did not ensure that a netdev is a representative netdev
before dereferencing its private data. This can occur when an upper netdev
is created on a representative netdev. This patch corrects this by first
ensuring that the netdev is a representative netdev before using it.
Checking only switchdev_port_same_parent_id is not sufficient to ensure
that we can safely use the netdev. Failing to check that the netdev is also
a representative netdev would result in incorrect dereferencing.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
