[RFC] [PATCH v2 01/13] net: qrtr: support registering endpoint-specific data

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

 



This adds the infrastructure for registering endpoint-specific data for
endpoint IDs.

Endpoint-specific data can be used to map an endpoint ID to a specific
endpoint backend.

Additional API is introduced as a common header in include/net to allow
other parts of the kernel to query endpoint IDs for endpoint-specific
data or make the QRTR subsystem assign a new endpoint ID for passed
endpoint-specific data. This will allow other systems to register
endpoint IDs before actual socket creation and usage, which in turn
allows proper binding to endpoint IDs from the start.

The endpoint registration function is changed to re-use endpoint IDs
that match the backend's endpoint-specific data if possible, assign a
new endpoint ID if the endpoint-specific data is not known yet, or
create a new endpoint ID without endpoint-specific data attached to it
if all else fails.

There is one gripe with this implementation: other kernel subsystems
can, theoretically, assign an unlimited number of new endpoint IDs and
thus exhaust endpoint ID space. No API is provided to delete endpoint
IDs and we also do not track which endpoint IDs are in use and which are
not, which means that even the QRTR-internal code cannot easily clean up
unused endpoint IDs. The only exception to this are endpoint IDs
attached to QRTR nodes, which will be deleted when the QRTR nodes
themselves are deleted.

This is probably a potential memory leak that we can live with.

Fixing that is rather difficult. We would either have to add some form
of refcounting, wrap the endpoint-specific data pointer into yet another
structure together with a kref and use that to free unused endpoint IDs,
or periodically clean unused endpoint IDs up in a timer (executing, say,
every 10 minutes), essentially doing garbage collection.

Garbage collection is being frowned upon, especially in the kernel, but
in this case, it really would make the most sense. Clients might
allocate endpoint IDs that are never actually used (for instance because
the client uses a wrong endpoint-specific data pointer, which is not
used by a QRTR backend), and will need to hold a reference to this for
their entire life time, which essentially defeats the concept of
cleanup of unused endpoint IDs via reference counting.

Clients can create endpoint IDs quite some time before the QRTR
subsystem uses them, but there is no way to easily tell when this will
be. The idea is that minutes as orders of magnitude would probably be a
safe value for which to regard an endpoint ID as unused.
