Subject: [PATCH v6 5/8] netfilter: ipset: Don't use test_bit() in lockless RCU readers
Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 22:59:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508205903.10238-6-kadlec@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260508205903.10238-1-kadlec@netfilter.org>
Sashiko pointed out that there are a few lockless RCU readers
using test_bit() which is a relaxed atomic operation and
provides no memory barrier guarantees. Use test_bit_acquire()
instead where the operation may run parallel with add/del/gc,
i.e. is not one from the next cases
- protected by region lock
- in a set destroy phase
- in a new/temporary set creation phase
Also, add two missing smp_mb__after_atomic() operations.
