[PATCH 4.19 176/213] netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: use read spinlock to avoid datapath contention

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

 



4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 96b33300fba880ec0eafcf3d82486f3463b4b6da upstream.

rbtree GC does not modify the datastructure, instead it collects expired
elements and it enqueues a GC transaction. Use a read spinlock instead
to avoid data contention while GC worker is running.

Fixes: f6c383b8c31a ("netfilter: nf_tables: adapt set backend to use GC transaction API")
