[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v4 02/31] batman-adv: Fix list removal of batadv_hardif_neigh_node

[Sven Eckelmann]

The neigh_list with batadv_hardif_neigh_node objects is accessed with only
rcu_read_lock in batadv_hardif_neigh_get and batadv_iv_neigh_print. Thus it
is not allowed to kfree the object before the rcu grace period ends (which
may still protects context accessing this object). Therefore the object has
first to be removed from the neigh_list and then it has either wait with
synchronize_rcu or call_rcu till the grace period ends before it can be
freed.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v4 03/31] batman-adv: Avoid recursive call_rcu for batadv_bla_claim

[Sven Eckelmann]

The batadv_hardif_neigh_free_ref function uses call_rcu to delay the free
of the batadv_bla_claim object until no (already started) rcu_read_lock is
enabled anymore. This makes sure that no context is still trying to access
the object which should be removed. But batadv_bla_claim also contains a
reference to backbone_gw which must be removed.

The reference drop of backbone_gw was done in the call_rcu function
batadv_claim_free_rcu but should actually be done in the
batadv_claim_release function to avoid nested call_rcus. This is important
because rcu_barrier (e.g. batadv_softif_free or batadv_exit) will not
detect the inner call_rcu as relevant for its execution. Otherwise this
barrier will most likely be inserted in the queue before the callback of
the first call_rcu was executed. The caller of rcu_barrier will therefore
continue to run before the inner call_rcu callback finished.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v4 05/31] batman-adv: Drop immediate orig_node free function

[Sven Eckelmann]

It is not allowed to free the memory of an object which is part of a list
which is protected by rcu-read-side-critical sections without making sure
that no other context is accessing the object anymore. This usually happens
by removing the references to this object and then waiting until the rcu
grace period is over and no one (allowedly) accesses it anymore.

But the _now functions ignore this completely. They free the object
directly even when a different context still tries to access it. This has
to be avoided and thus these functions must be removed and all functions
have to use batadv_orig_node_free_ref.

I really like this approach big time :) Scheduling the rcu calls one
after the other instead of nesting them (or even worse using the _now()
function) seems really clean and - of course - not buggy.

thanks for these patches Sven!

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v4 06/31] batman-adv: Drop immediate batadv_orig_ifinfo free function

[Sven Eckelmann]

It is not allowed to free the memory of an object which is part of a list
which is protected by rcu-read-side-critical sections without making sure
that no other context is accessing the object anymore. This usually happens
by removing the references to this object and then waiting until the rcu
grace period is over and no one (allowedly) accesses it anymore.

But the _now functions ignore this completely. They free the object
directly even when a different context still tries to access it. This has
to be avoided and thus these functions must be removed and all functions
have to use batadv_orig_ifinfo_free_ref.

It is not allowed to free the memory of an object which is part of a list
which is protected by rcu-read-side-critical sections without making sure
that no other context is accessing the object anymore. This usually happens
by removing the references to this object and then waiting until the rcu
grace period is over and no one (allowedly) accesses it anymore.

But the _now functions ignore this completely. They free the object
directly even when a different context still tries to access it. This has
to be avoided and thus these functions must be removed and all functions
have to use batadv_neigh_node_free_ref.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v4 10/31] batman-adv: Drop immediate batadv_hard_iface free function

[Sven Eckelmann]

It is not allowed to free the memory of an object which is part of a list
which is protected by rcu-read-side-critical sections without making sure
that no other context is accessing the object anymore. This usually happens
by removing the references to this object and then waiting until the rcu
grace period is over and no one (allowedly) accesses it anymore.

But the _now functions ignore this completely. They free the object
directly even when a different context still tries to access it. This has
to be avoided and thus these functions must be removed and all functions
have to use batadv_hardif_free_ref.

Sven,

what is wrong in releasing the releasing the reference to net_dev inside
the RCU callback (except for introducing some delay) ?

This doesn't seem to be an official Linus' kernel because here the 3.2 kernel 
doesn't have this function (checked against Linus' official 3.2 release). It 
looks like this 3.8 change was introduced by Ben Hutchings in Linux stable for 
v3.2.44.

Does anyone has interest in adding the code to check for these stable 
releases?

Kind regards,
	Sven

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v5 12/31] batman-adv: Add compatibility code for kref_get_unless_zero

[Sven Eckelmann]

Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
---
v5:
 - add hack which allows to compile against stable kernel like 3.2.44 which
   also added the kref_get_unless_zero function
v4:
 - fix function names in commit messages
 - fix double whitespace in batadv_tt_orig_list_entry_release kerneldoc
 - add extra patch for batadv_claim_free_ref kerneldoc fix
 - change the phrase "free it" in all *_free_ref/*_put functions to "release it"
v3:
 - update copyright year
v2:
 - split patchset into fixes and kref migration to make it easier when the
   decision is made where each patch will be applied

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v4 13/31] batman-adv: Convert batadv_hardif_neigh_node to kref

[Sven Eckelmann]

batman-adv uses a self-written reference implementation which is just based
on atomic_t. This is less obvious when reading the code than kref and
therefore increases the change that the reference counting will be missed.

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v4 27/31] batman-adv: Convert batadv_hard_iface to kref

[Sven Eckelmann]

batman-adv uses a self-written reference implementation which is just based
on atomic_t. This is less obvious when reading the code than kref and
therefore increases the change that the reference counting will be missed.

Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

v4:
 - fix function names in commit messages
 - fix double whitespace in batadv_tt_orig_list_entry_release kerneldoc
 - add extra patch for batadv_claim_free_ref kerneldoc fix
 - change the phrase "free it" in all *_free_ref/*_put functions to "release it"
v3:
 - update copyright year
v2:
 - split patchset into fixes and kref migration to make it easier when the
   decision is made where each patch will be applied

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v4 30/31] batman-adv: Convert batadv_tt_common_entry to kref

[Sven Eckelmann]

batman-adv uses a self-written reference implementation which is just based
on atomic_t. This is less obvious when reading the code than kref and
therefore increases the change that the reference counting will be missed.

v4:
 - fix function names in commit messages
 - fix double whitespace in batadv_tt_orig_list_entry_release kerneldoc
 - add extra patch for batadv_claim_free_ref kerneldoc fix
 - change the phrase "free it" in all *_free_ref/*_put functions to "release it"
v3:
 - update copyright year
v2:
 - split patchset into fixes and kref migration to make it easier when the
   decision is made where each patch will be applied

[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v4 31/31] batman-adv: Rename *_free_ref function to *_put

[Sven Eckelmann]

The batman-adv source code is the only place in the kernel which uses the
*_free_ref naming scheme for the *_put functions. Changing it to *_put
makes it more consistent and makes it easier to understand the connection
to the *_get functions.
