Subject: [PATCH net 01/12] net: shaper: drop redundant xa_lock() bracketing
Date: Tue, 5 May 2026 17:06:17 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260506000628.1501691-2-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260506000628.1501691-1-kuba@kernel.org>
The shaper insertion code is written in a way that suggests that
perhaps it was expecting readers to be fenced off by xa_lock.
This is not the case, readers of XArray are purely under RCU.
Remove the explicit taking of xa_lock() to simplify subsequent fixes.
All writers to hierarchy->shapers are serialized by the netdev instance
lock. For Netlink taken in net_shaper_nl_pre_doit_write().
net_shaper_set_real_num_tx_queues() has a netdev_assert_locked().
net_shaper_flush_netdev() runs after netdev is made inaccessible
to readers.
The explicit xa_lock() bracketing in pre_insert(), commit(), rollback()
and flush() therefore does not protect against any other writer.
