Subject: [mptcp-net] mptcp: pm: Defer freeing of MPTCP userspace path manager entries
Date: Wed,  9 Apr 2025 19:59:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250410025931.1882967-1-martineau@kernel.org> (raw)

When path manager entries are deleted from the local address list, they
are first unlinked from the address list using list_del_rcu(). The
entries must not be freed until after the RCU grace period, but the
existing code immediately frees the entry.

Use kfree_rcu_mightsleep() and adjust sk_omem_alloc in open code instead
of using the sock_kfree_s() helper. This code path is only called in a
netlink handler, so the "might sleep" function is preferable to adding
a rarely-used rcu_head member to struct mptcp_pm_addr_entry.

My first implementation did add a sock_kfree_rcu_s() function like
Geliang suggested, but kfree_rcu() is a macro so that approach got
complicated. sock_kfree_rcu_s_mightsleep() seemed cumbersome, so I went
ahead and open-coded it. This should be applied after Geliang's v2,
which will delete similar code in a helper function.
