[PATCH bpf-next 00/17] Clean up and document RCU-based object protection for XDP_REDIRECT

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



During the discussion[0] of Hangbin's multicast patch series, Martin pointed out
that the lifetime of the RCU-protected  map entries used by XDP_REDIRECT is by
no means obvious. I promised to look into cleaning this up, and Paul helpfully
provided some hints and a new unrcu_pointer() helper to aid in this.

This is mostly a documentation exercise, clearing up the description of the
lifetime expectations and adding __rcu annotations so sparse and lockdep can
help verify it.

Patches 1-2 are prepatory: Patch 1 adds Paul's unrcu_pointer() helper (which has
already been added to his tree) and patch 2 is a small fix for
dev_get_by_index_rcu() so lockdep understands _bh-disabled access to it. Patch 3
is the main bit that adds the __rcu annotations and updates documentation
comments, and the rest are patches updating the drivers, with one patch per
distinct maintainer.

Unfortunately I don't have any hardware to test any of the driver patches;
Jesper helpfully verified that it doesn't break anything on i40e, but the rest
of the driver patches are only compile-tested.
