Subject: [PATCH v5 02/11] SUNRPC: Assign a unique identifier to each svc_xprt
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 13:21:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918-duplicate-reply-cache-v5-2-b6aba9ebf2f4@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918-duplicate-reply-cache-v5-0-b6aba9ebf2f4@kernel.org>
A consumer that associates state with a transport without holding a
reference cannot detect ABA collisions: once a transport is freed,
SLUB may hand out a new svc_xprt at the same address.
Assign each transport a 64-bit identifier from a global sequential
counter in svc_xprt_init(). The counter cannot wrap within the
lifetime of a transport, so two live transports never share an
identifier and a consumer needs no release when the transport is
freed. The NFSD duplicate reply cache is the first consumer.
