Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 06/14] neighbour: Free pneigh_entry after RCU grace period.
Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2025 19:06:11 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250711191007.3591938-7-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250711191007.3591938-1-kuniyu@google.com>
We will convert RTM_GETNEIGH to RCU.
neigh_get() looks up pneigh_entry by pneigh_lookup() and passes
it to pneigh_fill_info().
Then, we must ensure that the entry is alive till pneigh_fill_info()
completes, but read_lock_bh(&tbl->lock) in pneigh_lookup() does not
guarantee that.
Also, we will convert all readers of tbl->phash_buckets[] to RCU.
Let's use call_rcu() to free pneigh_entry and update phash_buckets[]
and ->next by rcu_assign_pointer().
pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock() uses list_head to avoid overwriting
->next and moving RCU iterators to another list.
pndisc_destructor() (only IPv6 ndisc uses this) uses a mutex, so it
is not delayed to call_rcu(), where we cannot sleep. This is fine
because the mcast code works with RCU and ipv6_dev_mc_dec() frees
mcast objects after RCU grace period.
While at it, we change the return type of pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock()
to void.
