From: Guillaume Nault <gnault@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 2dce224f469f060b9998a5a869151ef83c08ce77 upstream. __peernet2id() can be protected by RCU as it only calls idr_for_each(), which is RCU-safe, and never modifies the nsid table. rtnl_net_dumpid() can also do lockless lookups. It does two nested idr_for_each() calls on nsid tables (one direct call and one indirect call because of rtnl_net_dumpid_one() calling __peernet2id()). The netnsid tables are never updated. Therefore it is safe to not take the nsid_lock and run within an RCU-critical section instead. Signed-off-by: Guillaume Nault <gnault@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
