Subject: [PATCH v3 net-next 3/6] vxlan: move VXLAN_F_MDB to struct vxlan_dev flags
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 06:21:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911062200.231316-4-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911062200.231316-1-edumazet@google.com>
VXLAN_F_MDB is an internal runtime state flag indicating whether any
MDB entries are configured on the device, rather than a netlink
configuration attribute.
In preparation for converting vxlan->cfg to an RCU-protected pointer,
move VXLAN_F_MDB from struct vxlan_config to a dedicated 'flags' field
in struct vxlan_dev as VXLAN_DEV_F_MDB, using atomic bitops (set_bit(),
clear_bit(), test_bit()) to avoid KCSAN data races between the TX path
and RTNL operations.
This avoids having to dynamically reallocate and publish a new
vxlan_config structure via RCU whenever the first MDB entry is added
or the last one is removed, and prevents potential memory allocation
failures during MDB teardown under memory pressure.
