The call of synchronize_rcu() is because we are updating the current active policy so we need to set the new policy as active.+ mutex_lock(&ipe_policy_lock); + ap = rcu_dereference_protected(ipe_active_policy, + lockdep_is_held(&ipe_policy_lock)); + if (old == ap) { + rcu_assign_pointer(ipe_active_policy, new); + mutex_unlock(&ipe_policy_lock); + synchronize_rcu();I'm guessing you are forcing a synchronize_rcu() here because you are free()'ing @old in the caller, yes? Looking at the code, I only see one caller, update_policy(). With only one caller, why not free @old directly in ipe_update_policy()? Do you see others callers that would do something different?
I do agree we can free the old inside this function.
